Haha, there were 3B shares traded the week of 03-07 Feb 2020, which included a 30% drop in the SP over 2 sessions (really 1 session, plus the last 20 min of the previous session).

That wasn't "capitulation" either (at least not by Retail). SP rebounded to multiple new ATHs over the following 2 years. ;)

This time, it seems some Retail have sold though. The FUD has been relentless. People who want to hold but are feeling the heat need to zoom out. Tesla has never been in a better place as a business. The future is bright, this storm will pass. Will you still own your shares, or will shortie? ;)

Cheers!
That week was capitulation by the bears. The chart shows it clearly.
The next big rally will most likely be a dead cat bounce. TSLA is bound for under $100 for an extended period of time. Most likely to take out all those long dated smarty-pants call buyers. The harder trade is to actually short TSLA at these levels.
 
Go back and look at all the 2018 articles criticizing the president for criticizing Powell and the destruction that he would unleash on the economy if he kept raising rates. Powell finally listened.

Elon is warning of the same thing now.

They (current admin) are going to destroy this economy. Worst part, inflation will most likely not be under control. Supply side, energy policy...see you all on the other side. This is not by accident.



 
Those who talk about prices in this market manipulation are just making unnecessary noise. Valuation is what it matters
market manipulation? more like a bubble bursting. TSLA was never worth 1.3T in market cap. that was always absurd. add to it the CEO destroying the brand. people view us tesla drivers are a-hole now thanks to Elon's antics
 
I must say that compared to the ongoing gut wrenching as the SP crept closer to auto-liquidation of the margin account, the act of selling shares in order to close it out was more cathartic than I had anticipated. 🤔

Probably will be good for back health as well. What, with the weight of that albatross having been removed from the shoulders. 🙂
 
Wow 35 TTM PE on a company growing 40% YOY after a ‘disastrous‘ year.

No one cares about the IRA margin explosion in both cars and batteries In 2023.

No one cares about the exploding energy storage division which finally has batteries and factories.

No one cares about the upcoming Cybertruck, poised to blow brains globally.

No one cares about the huge moat Tesla possesses with the best charging network in the world.

No one cares about the FSD which still needs work but is at least on par with the best in the world.

No one cares about the best manufacturing technologies in the world, both for cars and batteries.

No one cares about the ramp in the semi division.

No one cares about the Optimii in the future.

No one cares about the upcoming 25K (or so. Anything 30 and below will be crushing to ICE) model that will be untouchable by OEMs at that price point.

No one cares.

Time to buy. Tesla deserves this undervaluation by any metric unless it stops cold growing right now. Even then at current run rate maintained PE will go below 20 in a year. 25 with aggressive price cuts. With no growth at all.

Best thing EM did was wiping the balance sheet clean. Can’t imagine the hysterical FUD that would be out there with Tesla carrying even one tenth the average debt of an OEM.
 

Same. Limit order 111

Lol Who are these people you are hanging out w?
Agree the 1.3T then, appeared to be absurd. But future 1T seems reasonable w the TAM in various industries. Classic debate of is it “just” a car company or not. If you are in this forum, I am assuming you believe the latter - manufacturing prowess, AI/fsd, energy, robotics etc.

Bottom can’t be too far now. Just sit back watch the show.

Today's entire market is manipulated, not only TSLA, you can find hundreds of examples of bubbles bursting. Why? because powell and the fed wanted to bring the banks back in business again. So they killed retail investors and push for more unemployment. Today no big retail investor has the money to give the stock a direction so we are in the hands of institutionals only. Long term some will fail and bankrupt, some others will survive. You can't question Tesla products and pipeline. You can question the marketing around it, Musk included.
 
The problem now is that many are saying that Tesla should be valued as car company, with much lower P/E ratio, just like ford and GM. If that is true, then TSLA will be $20
Please feel free to do so the moment Tesla has shrinking production, carries 200B in debt and spins off its energy division as a separate company.
 
Lol I did contemplate selling when we hit $400 and $1.3T too. In my head I was thinking $2.5T in 5-8 years, so $1.3T today seems like a reasonable price already. Somebody run the discount cash flow and let me know if I should’ve sold lol
one of the hardest things to do with long term investing is being able to sell and then forget about the investment and not look back and regret you didn't hold it. in this case many in this thread view their TSLA stock with emotional attachments and pride. and when that happens that is when you make poor trading decisions such as you described

if you really believe that then you should put your $$$$ in cash. some banks are brokerages are paying a very good rate right now vs. losing 10% a day in TSLA stock
