Aahhh said the blind man...

That 24,238 looks suspect. Nice catch.
Could it be that Nasdaq needs more time for those 7 millions shares to clear?

No.

Nasdaq only report the number for all companies twice a month and with a 10 days lag.

So for the April 15 number we wait until April 25?

Right

Yay, it's up today! No, wait, I mean Boooo, it needs to go down for a buying opportunity! Or, uh, what number was I rooting for the chicken to poop on?

Nope. I just purchased my last 120 shares a few days ago. I just discovered I don't have to worry about short term/long term activities in my self-managed IRA account. It's all taxed as regular income as I withdraw. So, I'm hoping it goes up to nearly $50 at which point I sell a couple hundred shares and put in a buy order of 285 shares at $35. I probably won't withdraw any from my IRA (at least the TSLA part of it) until sometime next year, unless it really shoots up.

That's a real downside of using the IRA as an investment vehicle -- instead of paying the LT cap gains rate, you'll end up paying the regular income rate. In the U.S., the federal capital gains tax is much less than most people's marginal tax rate on regular income.
