Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

[TheTalkingMule]

I sold today at $1200. I’ll be back in a couple of weeks.

Nobody has ever failed at timing the market, right?

I think you'll be relatively OK, just don't let the 4Q earnings call happen without buying back.

We're gonna need to see regular reports on what you've done with the cash between now and then. Expectations will be high.

Oh, and if we split in January......you're F'ed.

I wonder if they would have been as upset if Elon instead created the Design Institute of Computing, Knowledge and Science

In one tweet, Elon Musk captures the everyday sexism faced by women in STEM

It raises questions about the work culture at Tesla and SpaceX.

FTFY.

Seems you can't solve world hunger for 8 billion. Only a 1-time bandage for 42 mil poor and disadvantaged.

** CNN's Brianna Keilar speaks to UN World Food Programme director David Beasley after Elon Musk offered to sell some of his Tesla (TSLA) stock "right now" if the UN can prove that $6 billion will solve world hunger. #CNN #News**

I look at today as fairly healthy... some consolidation here would be nice to setup support. Don't get me wrong, I'd love the gamma squeeze to continue to 1800+... but it would be good to take a bit of a breather from a longer term perspective.

Whoa??? If there's no signed Hertz deal, then how is Tom Brady gonna ever get paid? I bet he's pissed. Tom, what's up?

A word from Tom: "Man, wear your seat belts. That’s all I can tell everybody."

You can't be for real. This has to be at least Whole Foods lol

Does Whole Foods do blue light specials? I don't shop there often.

 

[jhm]

*was a blue light special.

You've got to be fast if you're gonna get the blue light special!

Here we go...

Hertz stock up 4 today, over 10%.
That should (may) imply the deal is on.

How long before the CEO of another car rental company sees this chart and remembers that they want a new yacht?

market thinks Hertz got back the 4.2B

Mark Fields must be busy getting calls from VW, Ford and Polestar

So much of my wealth is tied up into Tesla. I wish there was something I could do with some of my gains. I’ve always wanted a Ferrari but gas cars are against my religion. Been waiting for my forever delayed Model X Plaid but I doubt I’ll get it within the next 2 years. Same with Roadster. My house is paid off (thanks Spiegel). Thought about rental properties but real estate here in SW Florida pretty much doubled in price since Covid. I don’t like any other stocks. So I sadly sit here, watching my account balance grow

 

[StarFoxisDown!]

Just a FYI, despite the stock being down, my March 2023 OTM calls from 1300 all the way 1700/1800 have been shooting higher today. Between 10-25% even with the stock down on those 1700 and 1800 strike prices. Seems like there's a lot of activity going there.

 

[Nolimits]

How much further do you think we'll run before we get a dip?

Can’t time the market. The fudsters are losing steam. Unless there is upcoming weak macros I think we will be up for a while. If your target price us higher than what it is now, just buy.

Do I believe it’ll be 2000$ stock by 2025? Most likely - thus buy.
Do I believe it’ll be 1500 by 2025? Definitely - thus buy.

Do I believe it’ll be less than 1200 by 2025? - if yes, then don’t buy.

Buying tesla is very easy if thought this way. We all want to get a good deal but this way it’s less of mental gymnastics.

ibkr

pro not lite

pro has better rates. lite has 0 commissions and 2.57% margin

pro commissions are minuscule anyway. i pay about $1 for stock and options trades

obv with options the more contracts you accumulate the more the commission.
but to me getting a good execution rather than pay .5-.10 or more on every contract x #of contracts # 100 multiplier is a better route.

ibkr and fidelity generally best “all around” online brokerages but some others have pros and cons. webull looks interesting but haven’t dug too deep into that yet. if robinhood mugs people on stock, imagine what they’re stealing on options? i’d avoid players like that at all costs.

admittedly when starting out it’s not materially worse. easy UI-UX, small trades. a few nickels, then quarters, then 10s of dollars as your portfolio and trading grows. no thanks

Thanks.
Their Pro acct is what I use for margin loan now.
Looking for good margin/stock backed loan rates with a broker that will warn me before selling on a margin call. (though personal limit is 25%, not too worried)

Apologies for the momentary OT excursion folks. If others have suggestions please PM me (as I should have done) rather than reply.

The sole trade I have made since end-July was for a non-commingled account - a new client and all was in cash. The first purchases had been TSLA at $599 and $630.
Used up the balance of the cash last Monday: HTZZ @ $26.43.

Six days of trading and it hasn’t yet doubled? Sheesh. I should probably resign, go back to my day job: scrubbing toilets at a remote Alaska lodge.

First world problems .

Just get the Ferrari. Enjoy life when you can. Why can’t U have both? It’s not like it’ll be your daily driver.

Well, looks like it will be Avis.

FWIW, you probably won't put many miles on a car like that so the emissions impact isn't crazy.
