What a week! $TSLA up hugely. The Superchargers along Hwy 16 through Alberta and Saskatchewan opened. Next time we have to fly somewhere we can rent a Tesla. Yay!

We were waiting for our Cybertruck Trimotor so we could get rid of our ICE tow vehicle for our RV. Then we’d have a CT and a 3 LR-RWD as our vehicles.

Now that the additional Superchargers have opened, we can make it to most places we want with an X as our tow vehicle. Over celebratory margaritas after work (no longer need to work, we’ll get around to selling the business someday) my wife and I decided we should get an X, sell the Highlander (yay, no more ICE), and when the CT comes in, pass the 3 off to one of our kids. So:

Dave had this Option guy predicting pushdown today, was he for real?

The less attention an investor pays to market theories and predictions by market insiders supposedly 'in the know', the better! These people are just a distraction and are never consistently right. The market will continue to behave in a manner that is unpredictable. Often someone will have a moment of clarity or a flash of insight that allows them to see a good strategy but, for every one that is correct there are two that are wrong and there's no way to tell who is right at any given moment. It's best to avoid exposing one's self to such pronouncements and follow your own path.

TL;DR: HODL?
 
In that case, I will buy it at $250.
Do you really think the price is just going to keep going up without any large dips? I still think 99% of people don't 'get' Tesla and are just in it for the short-term gains. They will leave when they made a good profit.

You haven't done a valuation model of Tesla's future, have you?

Good luck with your investing strategy!!! :D
 
Speaking of potential stock split. It’s still impossible without some kind of shareholder meeting/voting right?

People here and there talk about it like it could happen almost out of the blue.

Edit: Afik a 1:1.9 split is possible…

Elon doesn't want to juice the SP unnecessarily until he's paid the taxes on all 12 tranches of his 2018 CEO compensation plan. That'll be in the rearview mirror in a few more quarters. Just in time for 4680 cell mass production to commence... ;)

The logic always seemed to me that no matter how well their intentions may be, stock brokers, advisors, whatever you call the people folks entrust with their life savings to secure their future, probably aren't independently wealthy.

Ipso facto, very few people who have actually had some degree of success will be found in these roles offering advise.

It always seemed to be a bad idea to employ their services for anything beyond low yield investments. Paint by numbers stuff. Counting on someone paid to advise to pick the hot ticket would very much be a long shot. If they were any good at it, would they be working for a living?

Much better to find someplace like TMC and pick up crumbs of wisdom from people speaking from a background of success. Gather enough crumbs and soon you have a cookie, or a slice of the cake.
