It might be accurate, no one’s done a poll to find out about pro/anti Tesla. Regardless, so what? Foghat’s post alleged a conspiracy among MAGA supporters. That’s several steps beyond your unproven assertion. I’m going to drop this right here as it IS political and has nothing to do with Tesla stock price unless you want to entertain Foghat’s conspiracy.

I'd like to be in a situation where Tesla & EVs (and environment & global warming) were not partisan issues. Infact in most countries they are not - but in US (and some others) they most definitely are.
Pretending that not to be the case or ignoring it willfully gets us nowhere.
If partisans leave EVs alone, I'll leave partisans alone.

Another FUD campaign underway: search Twitter for “silver lake rtrs” and note all the shorts and bots going crazy trying to spin an alleged Reuters story about Silver Lake and Musk.

The Reuters article that shorts and bots are having a feeding frenzy over right now
Musk says Silver Lake, Goldman advising on taking Tesla private

I don’t know how market dynamics works, I guess only market makers know for sure, how much each million share covered by short sellers moves stock, I think now fights among short sellers may start, smart short sellers may spread FUD and at the same time they could cover their own positions.

This is such a stupid post I don’t know where to start.
It’s not politics ya dummy it’s about $$$$$!
I’m sure somewhere in our 27,000+ posts, someone has posted a link to this blog, but it hasn’t been posted recently, so I’m posting it here (again).
Jack Rickard is an old fart that is currently working on projects to reuse old or salvaged Tesla batteries for home use (Think solar time shifting and backup). In the past he’s done a bunch of EV conversions, and back in my day, published THE magazine about the online revolution before the Internet, titled Boardwatch (yes, Virginia, there was an online community before the Internet).
Anyways, he has posted several blogs recently about Tesla privatization, including the latest making a good case for Apple and Tesla to merge (in short, Apple needs a CEO and something to spend money on, and Tesla has both). His posts about the privatization, written the day of and after, were very accurate in their prognostications. And his technical posts are very interesting to those of an engineering bent.

I've noticed that Reuters specifically has been wrong about Tesla an incredible amount in the last few months, and always on the negative side.
Jack is best watched when you have time ...and a good beer.
And they are doing a great service to me by suppressing the stock price after uncertainty Is eliminated . Now I can load without fear.
Mild disagree. That's not how it works in real life..The owners of converts delta hedge, by selling a bit, and there is nothing that goes on/off at this particular price. Their hedging ratios go up continuously, and will continue to go up, the higher it goes from 360. They will then become buyers below 360.
This scalping helps them offset the low yield the converts offer.
And at 2X speed on YouTube....

A key point buried in the article:
"Securities lawyers said U.S. law requires executives and companies to have a “reasonable basis” on which to make statements, meaning the fact Musk said he believed he had secured a verbal agreement for the funding after the July 31 meeting could put him on a firmer footing with the SEC."
I take the reducing of the volume here as uncertainty reduced so people back home searching for coins between coach cushions?
Yes, you're missing something. Fidelity funds generally have percentages of holdings in various stocks and/or categories. As one stock goes up in price, they have to rebalance holdings, by selling the excess in the high flyers, and purchasing more of the underperformers. This actually makes some amount of sense, if what you're looking for is stability. But you do tend to miss the golden opportunities.
My boss at Qualcomm once said to me "They always talk about diversification, but if I'd just left everything in Qualcomm I'd have been much better off."

Thank you for linking to his blog. He is a MUCH better writer than he is a speaker. He has a high-quality mind.

I think we'll see 'funding secured' fatigue from the media starting tomorrow. It obviously can't affect the deal in any way and it will quickly lose its excitement. Attention will turn to things that matter, like the fact Musk obviously wouldn't lie publicly about the Saudis' position, especially while they're still in negotiations. He can't come out and say it but from what he said this morning it's obviously they told him they're 100% in.

Well, I have to admit, I have never been so happy and encouraged that a post of mine has been disagreed with so strongly! I truly hope all you guys are right and I am woefully wrong. Go TESLA!

Here's my bonehead question: are you exited to have Goldman Sachs with a price target of 195 USD on board?
