    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    A good way of getting up to speed is to read through @The Accountant and @Gigapress posting history. TMC’s @FrankSG has a blog that I point people to when they express interest in learning more about TSLA. In terms of price target, I feel like I have a better idea of where the stock might be in...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I don't like Musk's politics or tweets. Apart from anything else, they show poor judgement and may well be part of a concerning trend towards damaging Tesla's brand in the long term (although we don't have enough data to conclusively say it has hurt Tesla). However, I think/hope it's possible to...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    “Children; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. They no longer rise when elders enter the room, they contradict their parents and tyrannize their teachers. Children are now tyrants.” — Socrates, 470BC The kids are...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Bad actors on Wall Street are using (and helping feed) this uncertainty to shake the tree. They want to buy your shares at a discount -- and sowing panic among longs is a great way to do it. Using FUD is a tactic as old as the hills. I'm not very pleased about this whole Twitter thing, the...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Picked up my Shanghai-built Model Y LR in Vienna on Friday. The car is PERFECT. Amazing quality. As I was adjusting the steering wheel to my preferred driving position, it made a slight squeak. The Tesla guy showing me the car was absolutely mortified and had the squeak fixed within five minutes...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Justin Rowlatt is a journalist I have a lot of time for. He's made some interesting documentaries, including one in Antarctica that was amazing and truly brought home the threat of climate change. He's written a bit about Tesla, always fairly (not uncritically, but not FUD either). He deserves...

    Civilisation is expensive and worth every penny. How much of your hard-earned gains would you have if you lived in a society with no infrastructure, security, education, or healthcare? This ultra-individualism, the myth of the self-made man, is the real problematic thinking here.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Which competition, specifically, should we be concerned about and why? I'd genuinely love to hear a coherent bear argument -- I've been holding since shortly after IPO and am yet to hear something that would make me hit the sell button, although the covid shutdown fireworks came closest a year...

    GME and AMC stock action (out of main)

    I own GME because I like the stock. I want these predatory, parasitic shorts to get burned into the ground. Imagine not being content to just hope someone's dreams fail and celebrate by making money out of some poor schmuck's despair -- no that's not enough -- now let's try to actively destroy...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Merry Christmas everyone. I've been holding TSLA since shortly after the IPO, but I don't contribute much here because I'm not a finance guy or an engineer. When people know more about a subject than I do, I try to listen more than speak. This thread has been primarily responsible for my deep...

    Contest: What price will TSLA be added at?

    TSLA 604.23 (just because things never work out the way people expect -- I hope to be pleasantly wrong) SP 3750

    Tesla's entire purpose is to improve the environment and humanity's situation. I suggest a 'Yes' vote even if it does end up costing us a little bit of money.

    Stock split tax implications for non-US shareholders

    My Austrian broker said that this won't be a taxable event, assuming this is a normal split. I'm not convinced it is a normal split though. This is what they said: === Sehr geehrter Herr Einstein, vielen Dank für Ihre Anfrage. Ein "normaler" Split, durch den Sie zusätzlich neue Aktien...
