TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

[Boomer19]

Interesting. How late and how early do they trade (before market opening I mean).

Off topic. I have learned almost everything I know about stock trading on this Tesla Forum....and I don't own a Tesla...yet.

Well, being traded on Nasdaq, they have their own algorithm for trying to predict.

now it's a horse race

Or.... You could just not care what other people think. But for what it's worth, I think you're great.

oh i don’t, but sometimes i get a little off course, so i don’t mind a ‘straightening out’ from a vet that’s forgotten more tesla than i’ll know 5 years from now

There is so much fear in this forum when we should believe in the fundamentals.
As soon as people feel that $TSLA is undervalued for the first time in 3 years, the buyers will be back. For a gigantic showdown with the shorts.
As I have learned today, the big banks operate on both sides at the same time, short and long, maybe it's time for them to make up their minds about where is rocketship is headed.

Banks are on both sides of the "coin" because they make MONEY on both sides.

i’ve added a handful.
i wonder how many ignore me? would be interesting to get feedback as to why they think i’m an idiot. although i could just ask boomer, he’s got a running list of reasons.

I re-read a couple of my own posts that made me look for the "Ignore" button.

this is of course BS. There were news about leaving executives. There was of course stock drop associated with them, there is SEC investigation about model 3 numbers. With of course stock drop associated with it. There was another injection about UAW, With of course stock drop associated with it. There were hit pieces after interviews, after visiting Tesla, spy case, fake reporting, etc.etc. etc.

And you guys see only "smoking pot", "pedo", and "wrong fight with SEC".
Apparently FUD does work, pity to see this.

I don’t see how any of the news you quoted was fundamentals related? Executives leaving or Elon smoking pot on a podcast doesn’t change the amount of cars tesla ships or the amount of cashflow generated as far as I can tell.

I AM NOT BUYIING ANYMORE....I think.

Most convincing argument of the week.

Good that volume was above average today and Friday: If several big dogs are dumping shares to go for safer pastures, they'll finish sooner. How many days until they're gone for good?

Isn't it a bit odd that they still haven't announced a reporting date for Q3 financials?

Well that kind of explains it all. Thanks.

What if I think that all humans are inferior scum that deserve to be rounded up by my species' destructor fleet and forced to work in our offworld spice mines?

HA! I was right! You are too smart to be from this planet.

Are they taking into account mid-terms? My bet is that if the numbers are good, they'll do it on the 30th/31st and if they're not good, on the 6th/7th.

 

[phil0909]

I see that. How does after or pre market trading happen. Not a financial guru here. How can the stock be bought and sold without being traded on a market. Edumacate me.

Sometimes it's Elon...

Everyone in the Finance office is still out on loan and having fun delivering Model 3's to people's homes.

TSLA was trading at $360 before Elon’s take private tweet.

No, it wasn't. Here's what happened on Aug 7th: (The Financial Times article revealing the Saudi investment was at 12:18 EDT and Elon tweeted at 12:48.

So you can see the base price was in the $342 range (also the previous day's closing SP), and the Saudi story was the trigger for the jump. Elon's tweet was confirmation of the News, but the majority of the rise in SP happened after the FT story broke but before Elon's tweet.

The Saudi investment IS the story, not the madeup FUD-induced SEC attempt to pump the brakes. And with Q3 and the rampup in hand, Tesla has acheived escape velocity.

been thinking about this...
are they trying to finalize and report a week or two earlier than normal?

 

[Barklikeadog]

not really, it didn't. It was a few thousand shares. If we don't fully recover tomorrow I'll stop posting for a week

I see 50 posts later you are still here and arguing with anyone who wonders why you aren't taking a week off.

Thursday $293 down to $281
Friday $275 down to $262
Monday $264 down to $250

'Tomorrow' was Friday, of course. Monday included for dramatic effect.
Be a man (or woman) and take your week off starting tomorrow through next Monday.

I said hte stock was trading at $360 before Elon’s tweet - I stand corrected that it was infact $358.38c. I was a whole $1.62c off.
