TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

[bdy0627]

Looks like we will close above the 50 MA. Nice!

I’m long, but I like that you can’t tell. Equally hated by bulls and bears alike. What a dream come true.

That's a pretty unique place to be. I think TT007 is the only other person I can think of who is kind of in that situation. At least you aren't alone.

All shareholders should be able to vote regardless of nationality. Perhaps your brokerage has lent your shares to a short seller. In that case, the party that bought the shares from the short seller is the one who would vote what you thought were your shares. Check with your brokerage regarding that possibility. Also check with Tesla Investor Relations: Contact Investor Relations | Tesla, Inc.

I've a suitably high GTC sell order on most of my shares, set in there's a sneaky short-squeeze while I'm on the toilet, or something. AFAIK, if you have a pending order they cannot lend them?

and above the 100 MA and above the 200 MA and above the 61.8 % retrace. Strong signal!

...from someone whose predictions are significantly less reliable than a coin flip.

How can anything be less reliable than a coin flip (let alone significantly so)?

I'm showing the 200 MA at $337, so we're close but it's still above us.

Go read VA's posts.

Evidently, predicting that TSLA will gap up and go with each ER and several times during the quarter is.

That was with respect to TT007 not VA.

The possibility of a Montana Skeptic bottom seems like it might actually be a thing. If that's the case, I won't even be mad if TSLA doesn't hit my 260 prediction within the first half of this year.

Reliable doesn't mean correct.

A coin flip is perfectly unreliable because out of 100 predictions, approx. 50 will be wrong, so you can't use that signal for anything. On the other hand, Spiegel, Chanos, Andrew Left, Montana Skeptic, and @myusername, to use just a few examples, are quite reliable. They are reliably wrong (i.e., to make money, just do the opposite).

I don't think anyone here hates you. While I frequently mock TT007 I don't hate him either. I simply object to the tone of educated authority from someone whose predictions are significantly less reliable than a coin flip.

And people wonder why he stopped posting here...

Have you heard a Trump speech?

Oh! You must be a Moderator.

$ 334.065 in my chard. Unclear to me how this can differ....

 

[Mike Smith]

The 50dma just crossed above the 100dma for the first time since Jan 2017 (right after the Spiegel bottom), and tsla crossed through both of them today. Very bullish.

 

[Richard007]

Purchased 335 weekly calls as lottos. We've been holding above 329.99, if it maintains itself as support we could shoot up to 337. Not an advice, purely a gambool.

Edit: I paid 1.08

How many did you buy? Or give us a hypothetical number. I want to learn for future usage. Can you walk us through process, cost, potential profit or loss. Thanks!
(I’m a long. My largest holding. I add shares when it dips. Recently added at $299.98. I think TSLA hits $600 this year).

No coin flip result is right or wrong. It's random--with a well-balanced coin, at least.

Also, when making predictions based on a coin flip, the fact that approximately 50 out of 100 will be wrong is what makes it reliable. Not unreliable.

Precisely. I never said anything about right or wrong. In fact, that very distinction was my whole point.

Reliably uncertain. Reliably unreliable.

Turtles all the way down, man.

Have I ever. Trump happens to be one of the most reliable public figures in history. You can always rely on him doing and saying what (he thinks) is best for himself.

I'm gonna stop now, before the red-speaking dark lord moves my posts to the black pits.
