TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

I'd say they got away lightly - after all, how many people will have died prematurely as a result?

This is just a first ballpark number estimating the damage to shareholders. There's also a class action lawsuit recently filed by a German consumer protection group and ADAC, the biggest German automobile association. That one is only about damage to car owners. Not aware of any further ongoing legal action but it's far from over.

Any chance of breaking 365 on this current trajectory? Maybe this week?

Others could correct me if wrong, but I think it depends on how quickly upper BB moves in response to the movement. In looking back, it does seem to be a pretty good predictor for upper SP limits. While periodically breached, the price always reverts to below upper BB as best I can tell. (See inserted image below for example).

Elon has a plan. He's going to move all that water to Mars.

All he needs is to invent electric rockets, so they can tow big ice-bergs into space
Then all the ice-bergs that break off from the Arctic or Antarctica could be towed out to space and sling-shot into mars orbit.

OK, I show myself out...

the "cost" of Saudi oil is not higher, but their NEED for the price to be above a certain point in order to meet their current and planned obligations IS Much higher. I've seen numbers well north of 80$ just to break even. (its well over 100$ a barrel for Russia to meet even SOME of their obligations)

At this point in their history, they are borrowing over 80BILLION a year in debt just to make ends meet.

I've not looked at it in a while, but $80 looks high.

Either way - here is what KSA wants. It wants the oil to be higher than their breakeven - but lower than the breakeven of Iran (which is higher than KSA). This is all you need to know about oil prices

I think action is significantly related to Nissan news. The 60kWh Leaf was touted as a base Model 3 competitor.

Bears are having a celebration right now on Stocktwits and Twitter. I know it’s not bearish, but shorts will paint it bearish on the charts

Just to follow up, because I’m just getting back to this now: those same bears just saw the SP rise $17/share immediately after that. Their celebrations just make their immediate downfall all the sweeter.

 

[HG Wells]

Prediction for the day.

CLOSE 345.01

 

[EVNow]

Seattle?

No - India.

But what India experienced is nothing compared to what "pilgrim" colonialists did to native Americans. Afterall Asia managed to survive colonialism - while 99% of Americans didn't.

In market news - I was hoping we'd wipe out "Thanksgiving" week losses today - we almost did. Nice. Hope we'll breach 260 this week - so I can finally roll my J'19 calls with most of the gains intact.

Theres's not enough money on the planet to move 1/10th of that water to mars.

There's not enough resources on the planet to move 1/10th of that water to Mars.

Prediction for the day.

CLOSE 345.01

Dont forget the huge hammer sell right at close.

Strong action on higher volume near close - almost 346 now.

There probably is, we're just too dumb to utilize it. Nuclear rockets.

Rivian is set.to unveil its pickup today.

Rivian unveils all-electric pickup truck with unbelievable specs

What is "total grounded torque" and why does it seem out-of-whack to the other figures?

This earlier comment seems to have been well received. It's logical that the second run up faces less headwind.

not bad, >4% above NASDAQ and climbed more than GM, despite their news

The survey was going strong until someone posted objections now it is stuck at "Answered:100 Skipped:27"

Last call to the lurking billionaires out there to party with us:

I hope we are too smart to utilise nuclear rockets.

I think action is significantly related to Nissan news. The 60kWh Leaf was touted as a base Model 3 competitor.

I was forced to finally read up on Leaf after seeing it on sale for $16k If You Live In Aurora, Colorado, You Can Buy A New Nissan LEAF This Month For $16,360 | CleanTechnica

Seems it has had significant battery degradation issues, like 2.5-5% per year. No thermal battery management system. I think they are supposed to add TMS to the latest battery (I believe the 60kWh). Still, it will not be proven for a while. I figured having half the range left too soon is a big turnoff.
