TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

[flankspeed8]

I would like to see tesla put up a giant tote board outside the Fremont factory that changes when each model 3 finishes inspection. This will eliminate speculation regarding production he’ll and provide millions in free advertising. Macdonalds did this.

They have historically not been too keen on disclosing data as other mainstream manufactures, hence the monthly insideeves guessing game. I would be happy if they would start there first. Problem is that it works when the data and metrics are positive, not so much when it is not.

Feels like we're reversing today. I'm sticking to my feeling that we'll end the day in the green.

RSI in strong buy territory.
Also If you look at a 6 year chart TSLA is just touching the long term uptrend line I think. Can someone confirm this, I can only look at the chart on my iPhone.
Hold your nerve longs, I think a bounce back up is coming.

According to Justin Pulitzer, the long term channel low is around $240. It may or may not get that low.

Is it true that brokers can lend your shares to short sellers without your permission?
I am long TSLA and don’t want short sellers getting hold of my shares.
Thank you in advance.

Can be - if you put a GTC sell order at a high price, say $2500, then they can't lend them out any more. Plus if there's a short-squeeze while you're on the toilet then the order might fill - win/win!

Depressing!, I have to keep telling myself that I am in for the long term.

Times like this I ignore the price, take a drive, and visit a near-by supercharger to see what I'm actually invested in.

Humm, my brokerage caps sell orders at 50% above current prices.

 

[Todd Burch]

Methinks shorts better accept the gift they've been given and not be greedy. We're on the way up.

Exactly. One thing you'll notice is that shorts don't actually own a Tesla. They don't realize how crappy their existing cars are.

The markets in Asia and Europe has stabilized. Let’s see if the market here in the US can close in the green. So far so good, Dow: green, Naz: green, SP: green.

Eventually Tesla will turn green. From past observations if the floor is tested 2-3 times and is unbreachable, then we should be seeing positive results soon. This is such a great price.

Let them burn

 

[Todd Burch]

Up about $6 from the bottom so far.

What kind of BS is that??

Right now though I'd be happy for my shares to be shorted, bring it on, I say, the pop, when it comes will be much harder and much faster...

Buy the dip guys, good news started to roll in....

From Reuters (Published today Mar. 29,2018):

FRANKFURT/BERLIN, March 29 (Reuters) - Tesla buyers in Germany can apply for subsidies again because a government agency has ended its dispute with the U.S. carmaker over whether its Model S was too expensive to qualify for the incentives scheme.

An independent assessment proved that a base version of the Model S was available for less than the 60,000 euros ($74,000) baseline and the cars are thus eligible, the German Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Controls (BAFA) told Reuters.
..................

Under the subsidy scheme, buyers get 4,000 euros off their all-electric vehicle purchase and 3,000 euros off plug-in hybrids. ($1 = 0.8127 euros)

i would like to understand (in layman's terms) what this drop in stock price mean to the Tesla company as a whole? Would there be any negative impact if the share drops further still? Tesla itself would still be manufacturing cars on a daily basis right? So that would mean they are still earning from customers who paid and collect their cars.

So how does this affect them? Would they run out of money? What would happen if the price drops to $0? (if that's even possible?) I would like to understand the implications of what this drop means.

 

[sundaymorning]

Ok we’re now bouncing off from what looks to be the floor, let’s see if this baby takes off.

Dow: strong green. Naz: Strong green
SP: Strong green

 

[Todd Burch]

You took my advice X Yes...right?

Edit: Since I have him on ignore, I guess I won't see a response...

It would only really matter if they needed to raise capital. Otherwise, it's just some bad PR.

Thank you for your advice Lycanthrope, I have set a limit sell order at $2500 GTC, hope I have it right?
Why don’t all longs do this? It might squeeze the shorts a bit?

I'd actually feel better if the price stayed low today, around $257, so that after delivery numbers come out we will take either a smaller hit or an even larger raise in TSLA.
