Tesla Insider Transactions

We are contrarians here.

Here in Canada, we are at the top of a real estate bubble, just like in the US, but even bigger. The bubble is showing signs of failure. In this great blog about our real estate bubble:

Contrarians The Troubled Future of Real Estate

He discusses contrarians. Which means going against the mainstream thinking. I can help myself making a parallel between a bubble and Tesla. Tesla (the stock) is at the opposite of a bubble, the company is clearly building value and the stock is not really following the value added. Why? Poor information, mainstream thinking is that EV's are not for now, they are in a distant future.

They are about to be proven wrong again. Just like they were back in the US bubble and now the Canadian bubble about to burst. Sad but true.

The mainstream thinking is about to change tomorrow. The question is: will it change brutally or slowly but steadily. This will all depend of the WOW factor Tesla will provide the world tomorrow.

BTW, I'm renting a house

TSLA is once again doin' the Dow.

The mainstream thinking is about to change tomorrow.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Tesla is headed for a position as a major car maker, but "mainstream" thinking will change slowly and the stock will continue to be volatile.

As for tomorrow's event, aren't most or all of tomorrow's cars going to founders? There will be a slow psychological shift when cars start going to buyers not connected to the company. Will there be a delay between the founders' series and the signature series, to get feedback before moving forward?

Don't be so sure. Keep in mind it is THE big event.

We don't know how quick the sentiment will change. How about if they receive 10 000 new orders during the weekend alone? 10k is not a whole lot. Remember lines at Apple stores the day after a product launch?

People go nuts.

Let's see what happens on Monday. I am ready.

I honestly think you may be (unintentionally) exaggerating tomorrow's significance in the eyes of the world. WE'RE amped, but most of the populace don't even know what's going on, and if they did, many would probably shrug at 10 100k cars going to company insiders.

I am not exaggerating tomorrow's event significance. I am thinking out loud.

What I am saying is "What if..."

If it does not happen, I'll keep my shares and forget. I'm in for the long run.

But. Be ready for the "What if".

Agreed, but I think the press that the event will generate will certainly attract some investment dollars. Especially from retail investors.
