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

[Words of HABIT]

Sage advice.

Stocks are down, but here's why experts say you shouldn't panic

As stocks continue to slump, it can be easy to let your emotions take over if you've got money invested in the market. But experts agree that there's no need to panic if you're invested in the right type of portfolio with the right level of risk.

I know it's not Friday, but... feels like this is might be appropriate for this afternoon.

I'd also like to take a moment to thanks the folks in the TMC music lounge for grounding me when I might otherwise buy into the FUD and market panic.

Be Happy, things are gonna be alright.



I'm not worried.

On the contrary, I don't think Burry is an idiot at all. The problem with short sellers is they make their careers calling one Big Short that pays off huge and then they spend the rest of their lives calling a crash every year and hoping it comes true. And Burry's Big Short only paid off huge because the greedy banks caused a global financial crisis which almost ended modern capitalism, how often does he think that will happen? Historically, the stock market has only ever gone up if you move your time horizon out longer than a year or two. This is why Chamath Palihapitiya told CNBC "[Jim Chanos] only makes money once a decade, I make money the whole decade."

Before the big short Burry was making a reputation for value investing- he's an amazing for digesting a company and calling it like he sees it. He's still long/short - he is a huge owner of water rights in the SW for example. He's famous to us because of his housing short but he would likely have been renowned in finance at some point because he was doing very well for several years. Even his Tesla bets might have made money..who knows. Overall he's a value investor, very old fashioned. More so even than Buffet. Not sure if he even takes others money any more? The one mistake he's made is calling things a bit early, the housing crisis almost sunk him because he thought it would blow up sooner. If he'd shorted Tesla at 1200 instead of 600 he'd be viewed as a prophet. He was off by a few months. Anyhow, not to spark arguments or anything just so people know he is not a one trick pony and maybe find out what his hypothesis is.

To quote someone that posted here in the past couple months:

“today is the most frightening and exhilarating day of my working life” I retired toda thanks to Tsla! Oh what a feeling!

Thank you to everybody on this forum.

Still holding a lot and 95% in tsla (lightweight I know!).

Thanks again, all!

That's got to be a paid article. What a nitwit.

Not sure if this is relevant, but the brand loyalty of Tesla is deeply rooted to a lots of people, such that my wife will buy a smaller tesla car for commuting in downtown, even air conditioner and cell phone instantly without even looking into spec.

And my wife isn't car person at all she can't distinguish any car

Now imagine if Ford/GM/Crysler or even Toyota/Honda release a Tequila/Sake, who on earth is going to buy it

 

[brantse]

They gonna lend your shares out to get shorted.

I've been in TD Ameritrade's fully paid lending program for about 6 months or so. They've never lent any of my TSLA shares out. ARKK and just about anything speculative that I had was lent out all the time.

 

[Gigapress]

For the quarterly wave, I'm pretty sure they said the main thing that will stop it is having Berlin and Austin cranking at volume production. They still load up a bunch on inventory in transit early in the quarter to make it all reach the customers at the end of the quarter. Shorter average shipping distance automatically reduces this.

 

[Dutchie]

Well, it has been a nice scientific proof that the whole: “I wish Elon would shut up so there would be less drama in the stock” doesn’t really hold water. we are just as screwed this week

 

[wtlloyd]

Tesla Daily running his numbers now. Rob says he's going with 4500 for Texas and 8500 for Berlin 2nd qtr.

GM, Ford Poised to Eat Tesla’s Lunch Over Next Four Years

Oh brother. The competition is coming AGAIN.
This guy calls himself an auto analyst, and he does not seem to know much.
And, he does not seem to read the memo that Tesla owners are not abandoning the brand when in fact Tesla owners are the happiest bunch!

Except he has a price target of $1300 as of today. Has had the stock on hold forever and one buy rating last April 2021. He is all over the place. Maybe he will downgrade AFTER a bad PD. He ranks high but why eludes me. Has RIVN as a buy.

I think Fremont will be the surprise with over 140k for Q2

His first tweet back should be "So, didn't make any difference, did it?"

Gas stations haven't had to be open 24 hours a day since the 1980s (or whenever internet and card readers became common in your locale).

I still remember the first time I was in the middle of nowhere in Iowa in a one red light town and needed gas at 2 am. The only gas station was "closed" but the pumps were on and my credit card worked and I drove away with a full tank.

It was a game changer in mentality for me. I never feared running out of gas in a random state in the mid west or in the major cities I knew. Every pump I've been to since worked for me by credit card no matter the status of the building or lack of a building next to the pump.

Yes, I once got gas at pumps that had a reader but no store. Just pumps on a concrete pad off the side of the road.

You've supercharged at superchargers that don't have a store associated with them haven't you? Why would you expect gas pumps to work so differently than superchargers?

That wouldn't work in Oregon.

 

[MP3Mike]

That wouldn't work in Oregon.

Oregon now allows self-pumping of gas in rural areas. (Though in some counties it is only allowed from 6PM to 6AM.)

But, yeah, most of the state still doesn't allow self-service gasoline at all.

Or you could realize the stock could have really tanked. The whole market is down and prior to that TSLA was a high flyer. HODL if you can for at least a couple of years.

In NJ you can't even pump your own gas when the stations are open.

What if it turns out he has been tweeting all this time, but nobody could see it, because he is shadow-banned for bad-mouthing the Twitter management ?!

 

[ZeApelido]

It makes me feel a bit better about the 4680 that Shirley Meng is so far impressed by Tesla’s cell.
