TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

[SOULPEDL]

Here's my "2 People" theory:
1 Person - Loner, can't corroborate, could be crazy
2 People - Witness involved, must be true
3 People - Questionable. Unnamed organization, motives? Need the video.

And now you'll see it from now on.

Wow, Tesla reporting have reached a new level of nuts this week.

An honest article would read:

Hi, I'm a reporter, a writer. I really have no idea how ideas become real, and had trouble imagining anything beyond my flip phone when the iPhone came out. Also I declared that Nokia would eventually crush Apple.

But I need to write something, because you know, content is king. Gotta keep those ad dollars flowing. So let me just pull together some stuff from other reporters who also have no idea and weave some collection of words.

So going private is an interesting strategic idea that may show the confidence Elon has in their plan, but instead of diving deep and exploring the nature of this proposal, I'll just go with "Elon Tweets - WTF - Tesla in Chaos!"

I'll use that as a headline too.

I can already see the clicks!

Oh wait, because of this article and others, I see the stock falling. Let me fix the headline

"Elon Tweets - WTF - Tesla in Chaos! - Stock falls 10 points!!!"

If I was Elon, I would be getting worried.

You are right.
The biggest concern for Elon is what would be the best place for producing Model Y. Quantity: about 10^6

If I was Elon, I would be getting worried.

If you were Elon, there would be no Tesla.

FUD and more FUD....do I mention this is FUD?

What's FUD? The reporting about the SEC subpoenaing Tesla about the tweets? Are you really doubting the SEC subpoenaed Tesla?

Tesla $TSLA Coverage Discontinued at Goldman, Says Acting as Financial Advisor

So Reuters reported Saudi Arabia wasn’t involved, and it’s now confirmed they are. Reuters also reported that Silver Lake wasn’t involved.

Did Reuters also report Goldman wasn’t involved? They seem to have quite a streak going.

With all the handwringing about why Elon would do things like tweet without a filter unlike more traditional way business is run - here is my take.

Tesla is what it is today because Elon is not business-as-usual. If he was, it would be like … Aptera.

In a way no different than Trump. His tweeting and devil-may-care attitude is what got him elected.

Looking at it wrong. That's twice as many stories in as many days! They're winning the news game.

That is so true. Elon and Tesla go hand in hand. If you are an investor, you better be prepared for surprises, sometimes good, sometimes bad, but overall he's driving Tesla towards profitability. Don't go blame him for whatever he does because if he weren't this way, there'd be no Tesla. That means you too shorts. Don't go blame Elon for the Tweets for your loss, that's the leader you are betting against, and you'd better be ready to throw pots and pans at him cause he sure as hell won't back down without a good fight.

For all the stock technical reasons given (pop looks imminent), if I were the Saudi's wanting in the Private club at a lower price, and saw how it's levelling out, I'd buy now before someone else beats me to it.

Fear is on high, great time to buy!

"Do not try and bend the spoon, that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth...there is no spoon. Then you'll see that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself."

Exactly.

Good thing Elon is not you.

One for every day of the week! I added a couple more shares at $333 this morning.

Macros and more $SCTY merger pattern matching. Great buying opportunities!

As long as Elon acts like a leader like Trump and makes this happen, this will work out fine. But if Elon is chasing the tail of the "news", then he was never serious about going private in the first place, because that's the whole reason to go private, to stop chasing fake news. While Elon might be a bit out of his depth with the total barrage of fake news, he's had great teachers in Donald Trump, and I expect he'll pull through and everything will work out fine.

There might be some considerations on their side as far as their max stake size and whether they want the risk of CFIUS rejecting the deal b/c that stake is too large.

If they buy max of what they need now, what happens when Musk needs their funding to close the deal?

Btw, this article suggests they may not have much cash on hands right now and may take few months to procure it:
Saudi fund may only play minor part in Musk's $72 billion Tesla...
This is Reuters though, so not sure if they are lying

 

[SOULPEDL]

Not asking for credit... but did I get some folks to buy just now?

Imagine all the people biting their nails watching how flat the stock is in this fearful time... wondering if it's going down any more but don't want to miss the miracle. So the slightest sign today that it goes up might trigger something pretty cool.

One thing for sure, it's either going to go up... or go down.

I love these SEC news. These guys even don't bother asking lawyers before writing. They just invent crap.
Musk does MBO. He finds funds, invites existing investors and makes an offer to the directors board.
He didn't do any offers yet. Tesla even issued 8K about.
SEC can be only concerned with Musk as a buyer, and any inquiries into Tesla are moot.
When it will be over I hope I will fight my laziness over and compile a full oeuvre of modern MM about Tesla. It's almost Bollywood.
