TSLA Investor Discussions

[Discoducky]

Well when the stock doesn't perform it puts a negative perspective and outlook on the company. Just more pessimism. I'm just wondering where 1 Billion $ of shorts are coming from!!

Oil money

Oil money

I dont think so.

Remember that the only truly renewable resource we have is idiots. And they do multiply fast.

The exact premise of "Idiocracy", our potential future.

That movie almost made me actually sad even though it is pretty funny. people are dum

 

[treehugger350]

There's a quote that goes something like "Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity."

Heinlein's Razor! Just learned about this yesterday. Funny how things like that work out.

I think downward pressure on the stock is only delaying the inevitable so I invite it. Can't wait for the day/week/month when Tesla absolutely explodes gaining double digit percents back to back to back.

Any stragglers (Bardlebee?) may have missed a buying oppty; the market might do well tomorrow

BBC News - Eurozone agrees on bank recapitalisation

Now with the Europe thigny almost over, our bi-polar market should start his euphoria phase.

Until the next scare...

While there may be other rumors elsewhere, I can't seem to give much credit to this ..... ehmmm.... article. Waste of space imho.

Apple buying Tesla would be a natural match.

If this rumor is true, watch shorts panic coming our way

Looks like a hype piece for Nova mining.

Yes, it would be great. But this appears to have started with one blogger & now is being picked up and repeated. I think the most likely outcome is a little flurry of activity and (unless there is something substantiating the rumor) will just die down again. (Only to be repeated on a slow news day.)

Yeah, but the news is coming out from business wire, a 'you know who' company.

Rumors are not always true, but they always have a goal.

 

[bonnie]

And I'm guessing the goal was to get some hits. #working.

My understanding is that the insiders own a controlling share of Tesla. Apple could buy a lot of shares if it wanted to, driving up the price, but it cannot buy a controlling interest if the inner circle does not want to sell.

Huh? The companies have nothing in common. I'd be horrified if Apple bought Tesla.

 

[Iamthecaliflower]

Talk about manipulation? Was up 8% in the am, and is now flat. Wow! This is crazy.

I could not agree more. Anyone who knows me in person knows that I may be the most anti apple person on the planet.

Nothing in common?

- screen
- high tech
- 'cool' products I want to have
- cool design
...

'The model S is an iPad with wheels' someone said

I'm not even anti-Apple, the companies are in completely different lines of business. The issues a car company faces have nothing to do with the issues a company like Apple faces (shipping, sourcing, parts, manufacturing, etc all all completely different). The last thing I want is Apple, who knows nothing about building cars, to control Tesla.

They're both, arguably, innovators in their space, but that doesn't mean there's any synergy in their businesses.

The model S is an iPad with wheels' someone said

Ug, yea, the screen is nice, but it's a small part of the overall car. Let's get real here, the screen is flashy and catchy, but they hired Franz and Gilbert to make a car. They didn't hire people to create a rolling iPad.

Would you want a carpet manufacturer to buy Tesla because the car has carpet? That'd be just as ridiculous as merging with Apple due to the screen.

What's after that? Microsoft buys GM, HP merges with Fiat?
