My logic that we will see $330 again is based on the following thought sequence:I'm with you here, sort off.
I sold large chunk of my leverage (added on the way down $320-$300) last couple of days and today.
I am tempted to buy back some between low $340 and $350, yet, I don't see any proof of ramp happening. Hence, I'm concerned current optimism has played out a bit too early, and that we will see $330 and possibly lower.
Technically though, it's very likely we don't see anything under $340, hence my temptation to load up again in low 340s, if we even see it...
To summarize, I expect disappointment short term, but I doubt it will change outcome for '19 leaps, and even less so for '20 leaps, and I have FOMO, so I'm torn.
Just thinking aloud...
1) Tesla stock price is currently dominated by M3 ramp, or more importantly, perception of M3 ramp
2) M3 ramp has been perceived as disappointing, since the end of Sep 2017 when Q3 # came out, and the disappointment hasn't changed, if not intensified, after the 5K/wk target got pushed out twice
3) we're at least 5 weeks away from any significant real news that could alter the disappointment perception
4) given the recent seemingly flatlining of the ramp, the expectation of good news at the end of March is decreasing, adding to the existing negative perception
5) since end of Sep 2017 TSLA has not been above $360, and TSLA doesn't stay flat for long. We've almost always had a $30-$40 swing in any 5 weeks of trading, the only exception is from early Nov to early Dec, where it was depressed down around $300-$315 for a whole month.
so when TSLA crawls close to $360, at this point, the only way it can go, IMO, is back down to $330, before it goes up again. I think even $320 is possible. If some credible rumor comes out that ramp to 2.5k/wk by March end is looking likely, then we may not get that low. But I think the market won't become over-exuberant over TSLA at this point of M3 ramp until Tesla actually nails some big milestone, such as the 2.5k/wk or 5k/wk target.
