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

"Good time to review #Tesla short interest. It looks average these days. $SPY avg is about ~2%. Tesla is ~3%."
Thoughts?
Thoughts?
This is an excellent article by Bloomberg (included videos worth watching too) about what a scam ESG ratings are, at least from MSCI, the main ratings firm. Of course no one is unbiased - I almost missed this conflict of interest disclosure:
The reason Buffett always recommended average people diversify is that they generally lacked the spare time to actually research potential investments, the willingness to take short term losses when the market moves up and down, and the ability to think in the long term. For most people, buying an index fund makes sense, you'll outperform picking individual stocks 99 times out of 100.
Tesla investors aren't average people...
Today's trivia: TIL that Peter Lynch is the man who coined the term 'ten bagger'

Different ratio - same money? As share price goes up, short money doesn't go as far.
I wonder what percentage of that 3% is Bill Gates. How much is actually short if Bill closes his position? (Not saying he will, he clearly hates Elon.)

If you do the math it looks like the value of short interest grew from ~$20b to ~$30b.
It would be interesting to calculate the total money that has been lost shorting Tesla… talk about cash burn!

Bill is shorting ~$500m, so ~1.7% of the entire world’s short interest is just from that former colleague of Jeffrey Epstein.

UK - Gridserve are doing "Electric Forecourts" - this is the second (AFAIK) one opened up so far, 100 planned, £1 billion. Further discussion in:- Gridserve Charger Sites in UK [megathread] or Gridserve Charger Sites in UK [megathread]
Just a heads-up on what can be done, similar to the multi-provider German bakery that impressed me.
Video is by a disabled invited VIP Youtube Mini driver getting a guided tour of Norwich Gridserve. Normal spaces are big enough for wheelchairs plus dedicated disabled (space or spaces?)
Shows how much space is for EV education/leasing and shops

- This is a smaller site, two-storey with shops, food, education, leasing, example cars upstairs and charging downstairs
- AREA charging. This is NOT (principally) along-route charging. This IS largely for towns/EV owners that have limited options to charge at home or work.
- Griderve also have a motorway charging network, but this is different.
- Chademo/CCS (main) + Tesla CCS (on same site) + A/C on one site
- Prices slightly cheaper than Tesla (from memory)
- Own solar (elsewhere) - enough to cover average use + grid connections
- Battery storage
- CEO has been Tesla owner for years, family involved in renewable energy for a long time, his parents named him after a well-known motorway services in England. Toddington Harper

"Neko no me"
My database of NASDAQ reported TSLA short interest (SI) goes back to June 15, 2018. The latest SI as reported on March 31, 2022 shows that TSLA dollar-committed SI is currently higher than the average over the past 4 years:
However, even this statistic begs the issue: TLSA shorts primarily bet against the stock via derivatives. It is impossible to know (and not publicly revealed) how much short puts are bet against the company, but we know that TSLA options volume is 20x their equities trading volume, and that TSLA derivatives are now about half of all options traded total (per Morgan Stanley estimates).
TL;dr Shortzes haven't gone anywhere. But they have likely doubled down on their bets againts Tesla, simply because they occasionally (briefly) make some fast money. They deserve what's coming for them, including Gill Bates.

Exactly. For a fair comparison look at CO2 Emissions per captia.
CO2 Emissions per Capita - Worldometer
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Emissions per Capita for each Country in the world
www.worldometers.info
Canada (7th at 18.58 tons)(larger area than US and 1/10 the population than US, and a Petro/Resource export economy so makes sense)
US (16th at 15.52 tons)
China comes in all the way down at 42nd spot at 7.38 tons.
However to be fair to China, much of their goods they produce are for other consuming countries of the World, so their 42nd lowest country ranking for CO2 emissions, if China was only producing goods for themselves instead of other countries en mass, their ranking would become even far much lower.

I sure hope I get it. My 10.2 has deteriorated and is currently unusable. Strange because it was fairly good for the last few months.
There are at least three ways to slice this:Exactly. For a fair comparison look at CO2 Emissions per captia.
Qatar (1st at 37.29 tons)CO2 Emissions per Capita - Worldometer
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Emissions per Capita for each Country in the world
Canada (7th at 18.58 tons)(larger area than US and 1/10 the population than US, and a Petro/Resource export economy so makes sense)
US (16th at 15.52 tons)
China comes in all the way down at 42nd spot at 7.38 tons.
However to be fair to China, much of their goods they produce are for other consuming countries of the World, so their 42nd lowest country ranking for CO2 emissions, if China was only producing goods for themselves instead of other countries en mass, their ranking would become even far much lower. Hence my downvote on @ZachF 's last post.
PS. And Qatar is not exactly consuming all their oil and gas. So we should be looking at the countries that consume the most goods as the true measure "who" + "for whom" results in the most CO2 emissions.
1) Total emissions per year
2) Emissions per capita
3) Total emissions since the start of the industrial revolution
But I really hate all these comparisons because they assume a blame-game between countries.
All industrialized nations emit far too much and it has to stop. Blaming each other doesn't help.

Not focusing on single stack yet, huh? Wonder if that's becoming difficult to solve, or that it's not worth working on at this time.
Elon has told already that single stack will happen once they have solved bugs in the city driving. So I expect single stack in 6 to 12 months.
Sounds like you need a recalibration and a good lens cleaning
So, what was wrong with my picture, please?
