As the trading week comes to an end boys and girls, let's not forget there are still mentally unstable people out there on television:

Fundamental point he makes is good. If you don’t trust management you shouldn’t invest in a company. I’ve said as much to people on this thread. Trust is a subjective thing and I can understand why people might not trust Elon.

While that is a good reason to not invest in Tesla. It is not a good reason to short them. In fact it is quite a stupid reason to be the fundamental reason to short a company. You should short a company because you see a fundamental weakness in their position. He doesn’t even seem to understand Tesla the company, let alone have properly identified a big weakness. He mumbles some stuff about China and market share, but he doesn’t remotely seem to grasp that market or Tesla’s position there either.

Not trusting a CEO is a very stupid reason to short a company. Good reason to not buy in, sure.

So with the closing price today at $177.90 and the open on Monday at $135.87, we've had a weekly (M-F) gain of 30.93%!

I thought this may have been a record weekly gain as there was nothing bigger in my data going back to mid 2017. I had to update the data all the way back to Tesla's IPO to check and so below are my results for the top 5 weekly gains.

Rank	Weekly Gain (M-F)	M Open	F Close	% Gain
1	Mon 5/6/13 to Fri 5/10/13	$3.76​	$5.12​	36.1%​
2	Mon 1/23/23 to Fri 1/27/23	$135.87​	$177.90​	30.9%​
3	Mon 4/13/20 to Fri 4/17/20	$39.34​	$50.26​	27.7%​
4	Mon 10/21/19 to Fri 10/25/19	$17.22​	$21.88​	27.0%​
5	Mon 10/22/18 to Fri 10/26/18	$17.38​	$22.06​	26.9%​

So not quite the record gain but a pretty good result any way you look at it. Congratulations all.

It would be interesting to add a column for what happened the following week in each of those cases.

I hope that he makes Tesla Plug to be the Universal Standard for ALL EVs.

I hope he walked in with a Tesla plug in one hand the the CCS monstrosity in the other and said: "Which would you rather use?"

Edit: Just realized that within a 1 year period I bought within 5% of “Point of Maximum Financial Risk” and within 5% of “Point of Maximum Financial Opportunity”

Nice. We could just point to that diagram and save at least HALF of the [edit: tens [edit: hundreds] of] thousands of posts in this forum.
(half-joking, but... seriously!)

So funny how these get published as soon as $TSLA rips, did not see this when it was dropping like a rock. Really can't make this up.

This clip sums today very well.

I love the smell of napalm shorts in the morning... It smells like...victory!

Tesla has been living the 50% yoy growth story since 2013. Why would anyone think they can't keep doing what they've been doing for the next 5-10 yrs? Straight line (logarithmic) growth actually exceeds the 20M deliveries projected by Elon in 2030. Here's a graph I put together to illustrate...

 

[M|S|M MYP]

Damn, did not know Elon had an extra $12B deposited in his bank account this week

Stories like this that lead to people thinking that unrealized capital gains are income.

The people that short TSLA are the same people who think it is extraordinarily clever to say EVs are powered by coal

That's the coolest thing about EV's, they can run on whatever is available at the moment, coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydro, geo-thermal, wind, solar, or a mix of whatever you have available. In a pinch it can even run on propane, gas or diesel.

Show me a non-EV that can do all that and I'll buy it! That usually shuts them up...
