    So you get an annualized .7% of 10% of the value of your Tesla stock? So currently, an annual interest of .07%?

    I feel like people should be filing reports to the SEC for stuff like the UBS/Munro thing because if that's not a clear conflict of interest violation I don't know what is.

    Yes, not much money at all.

    For a few days out of the year (<10) you might get significantly higher rates (10-25% annualized AFTER 50% split) with 80-100% of your shares loaned out. Really depends on if people want to short (and remember this is only for IB as shares can be shorted at another brokerage). Higher volatility and a higher share price will invite more shorters.

    I like the idea of a buyout pool. The tricky thing is to avoid boosting the price too quickly. $320 is a huge discount to $420. The problem with consortium members bidding with each other on the open market is that it risks driving up the price prematurely. So buying as a pool may this coordination easier.

    So long as they are buying, whether as a pool or individually, shares will find their way into strong hands. The only folks who should be selling now are the shorts.

    If such a consortium were buying right now, wouldn't there be some SEC filings to that effect?

    Except that the OCC does an automatic exercise of all ITM options.

    In that context, we are already @ December 2012 Timeline..i.e. confidentiality Agreement with Silverlake. I matched the Dell historic SP <https://i.dell.com/sites/doccontent/corporate/secure/en/Documents/dell-closing-costs.pdf> with the history. Seems like we are not that far most probably Oct/Nov unless the counter offer comes

    This is great news. So many more retail investors will be able to stay on and Tesla will be able to grow more quickly.

    Wow. Now what?
    What the f**k is going to happen to the share price on Monday? Any guesses?
    I can't wait to see how the media reacts to this.
    I mean, wow.
    Seriously guys, wow.

    I do not expect a lot of action unless big stakes were accumulated on hopes of going private. The closing price today was about where it was before the Saudi stake was announced.

    The unknown is how the SEC will react to this news. At least no investors will get forced out. They get to ride the rollercoaster forever.

    You mean some FUDsters may question Musk's credibility/sanity?

    Wonder if the SEC will be among them.

    Definitely seriously wow... the thing is, wow reads the same regardless of whether you read it backwards or forwards. I'm disappointed, was looking forward to it.

    Here comes even more FUD.

    Seems more like a major disaster. I expect the stock price to get hammered Monday and for a while there after.

    The bad side is the class actions just got a whole lot stronger for both longs and shorts. If the deal is dead this soon it means there never was a deal at all.

    MP3Mike..why do you disagree? Share.

    I’m happy that they are staying public. This has been a huge distraction. The Model 3 is a runaway hit and they have proven scale manufacturing. All without viable competition.

    Probably so, though it was trading $350s after Q2 before theninfamout tweet. Plus I'm long term so hopefully it recovers soon anyway. I'm just glad I'll still be able to trade with it.
