TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

Does this mean the squeeze has started?

I had a 2013 S60 and had to ask to add the titanium plate. I believe it was an optional upgrade. Not a recall.

My 2035 S85 had the titanium plate installed as a part of my annual service in 2014.

About the fire.

Good to see that others get whats happening as well:

Circle the wagons. Light the campfire. Crack open the big can of beans. It's just about $370, folks.

Excellent pair of tweets and great article! Thanks for posting!

How about the flux capacitor? Did they add that later too?

Mr Taggart always was a buzz kill.
To cover their positions, the shorts are gonna need a **** load of dimes...

Up $12+ so far today.. Makes the last year a distant memory...
Although, each day we end up $10, it's less of a percentage... Statistics...

It's Mark's apartment. I had a small apartment near Central Park for years when I was in my 20s and had little to no money.

He has about $10 million of assets under management, last I checked. Either that's not really a hedge fund, or surprise, several of us manage assets the size of hedge funds and we didn't even know it.

Very large accumulated wealth may just be paying for his services as a spokesperson for narratives they seem to feel as if they want out in the world. Doesn't make much sense someone with $10 million AUM would be on CNBC, and speak a conferences where the likes of billionaire investor Ron Baron speaks.

I really think there's a strong chance that the bulk of the short position is about a larger game.

I thought maybe he’s related to Evan Spiegal, as explained in the family guy episode, eponymously named after Mark (sorry I always confuse the definition of that word).

Doing my share to convert people to the vision of TSLA every day

I had so much fun driving model 3 that I ended up catching myself driving around an hour before work each day and figured I may make that more productive by signing up with Lyft and bring people where they want to go, which turns out to be a fun hobby that more than offsets my parking and bridge tolls:

I think someone up-thread said that closing above $360 was "bullish"?

 

[Mich]

It's quiet here. Every day from now on we could easily have a new ATH.

 

[EVMeister]

There was another TSLA fire today.

 

[The Blue Owl]

Well todays rise of 13 points is reasonable. Not great, but reasonable.

Another reasonable day. I mean, not great, right? A few more mediocre days like this and Spiegel might have to roll his puts again, this time into the 500s.

 

[MartinAustin]

Strong finish by TSLA in the final hour, and huge volume in the final minute! 280,000 shares traded

We're going to have to be careful how we use that term, myself included. Maybe we should come up with a code word(s)?

 

[Causalien]

At this point, it is meaningless to further roll his options. He also can no longer be squeezed if his fund does not report mark to market info. Since the only way to squeeze him is if there's a large investor of his fund wanting to exit.

I've actually never saw any financial report of his fund so I have no idea how to make of his fund. Maybe the person says he has 10 mil can divulge more.

 

[Bet TSLA]

Likely. Instead of TSLA going up $20 it will likely be up only $10. Such is life,

I think I called it this time. Curse that car fire!

 

[Earlian]

Never understood the obsession with this mirror guy*, but if he’s out now, so maybe we don’t waste more energy and focus on the good stuff laying ahead of us....

Headlines everywhere about one Tesla model S where the battery spontaneously caught on fire (supposedly, cause currently not known) yet no one was hurt, but hardly any articles about the huge explosion last month at a factory that makes parts for Ford trucks (and other manufacturers), disrupting their assembly lines.

Guess that wouldn't drive stock prices down...

I'm impressed that Ford got the line up and running in a week. Ended up flying an 87,000 lb die to the UK on a Russian Antonov cargo jet.
