TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

[SOULPEDL]

Elon's email from 2013 re SpaceX going public vs remaining private. Great perspective and insights to Elon's thinking on Tesla going private:
Elon's Email to SpaceX Employees Regarding Taking The Company Public

EM estimated (in his SpaceX letter above) it was worth $4-5 Billion (2013). I just did a search and SpaceX is valued at $25B today (per Fortune.com). 5X growth in 5 years. Pretty good odds here I'd say

43x from 10 years ago
169x from 16 years ago

But I'm not greedy, I'll take 5x over 5 years.

Oh just wait for the first BFR flight/jump.

l hope the price crashes. I'm coming into a large sum of money at the end of the week.

Keep seeing ppl coming into large sum of money on investor forums. Seems like a daily occurrence.

Is this normal? Never happened to me.

Just jealous.

$TSLA i actually totally dig today's action
nothing changed with my super bullish thesis
today was a day of quiet accumulation by institutions and in prep for the next leg up which will happen very very soon
shorts are not out of the woods
nowhere close

Ditto.
Hasn't happened to me yet, but I'm open to it!

 

[BenPrice]

If Saudis attempt hostile takeover what happens to SP?

I didn't say anything, but I'll be coming into a large sum early next month

That said, it's my money, I just don't have access to it right now.

This is what happens:

But it's not going to, so no reason to worry.

And you are a Nigerian Prince who needs my help transferring the money.

Extremely unlikely, CFIUS and perhaps some poison pills.

This whole process of the privitization reminds me of the Solar City merger all over again. Same back and forth and complaining. But now because it's actually in order to cut off the shorts, the shorts are uniquely super mad.

Fixed.

Expect this to be all over the Shortsville Times tomorrow:

First of all, I'm not sure what this has anything to do with market action. Second of all, stop linking stupid articles like this. Not even worth a click.

 

[KarenRei]

It's something that just broke, and I guarantee you that it will be circulated extensively among shorts, not least of which for the reason that she claims she heard Musk franticaly trying to find investors (you know, the main topic of discussion here?) because he had none

It's all BS, of course, but people who don't like Musk will take it as obvious fact.

 

[Ulmo]

But if it goes through.. there would be no market action thread. No general action thread. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

I would relish being able to actually read this entire thread. Have you read all 27,258 messages in this new thread alone, much less the old one, the other one, and all the other tertriary threads? It would be a huge improvement if the market action was two trades per year.

 

[EinSV]

From the Jalopnik article: A Tesla spokesperson said Banks’ claims were “complete nonsense.” Update 5:30 p.m.: Our sister site Gizmodo heard from the man himself, and Musk said he “has never even met [Banks] or communicated with her in any way.”

More BS.

for some reason, I seem have reduced a short (and others it seems) to hysterical responses all in CAPS,
merely because i repeatedly, about 30-40 times on SA,
1) pointed out that shorts will be on the hook for $14.7 Billion real soon,
2) 35,000,000 shares wont convert and will vanish causing a liquidity crises as available shares vanish,
3) $420 will be the floor if not spiking way higher,
4) I think see subtle evidence in SP, vol and Advance/Decline lines of elephants unwinding short positions, quietly stampeding for the exits, leaving small mouse shorts holding a bag of IOU's.

It's like fear is spreading and I think i'm only telling simple truths, but they seem to be panicking and bolting for the exits, cusing consternation for some reason .
They were promised that shorting Tesla was a sure thing and easy money

I mean no harm, I just want them gone from TSLA as it becomes TSLAP(rivate) sooner than later, like maybe Christmas, or New Years.
