    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    I haven’t. I won’t be posting again. One less problem for the bird loving mod.

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    Me perhaps? Had to offload 2mm worth of shares when we hit 250 so now at 21k ish. I read a lot but not so inclined to post as there’s a over zealous, self important mod who deals with minor criticism by removing posts without even responding. Power and all that, IMO. Shame.

    Wow. That's some next level negative spin. Quite impressive really, hat doffed!

    2017 Investor Roundtable:General Discussion

    I've always found "don't time the market" to be perplexing. How do you not time the market? Hi Neoden, thanks for the feedback. Apologies, my "1. 2. 3." investment thesis questions were rhetorical - I'm super confident on the answers, hence my current position :) I intended to clarify my post...

    2017 Investor Roundtable:General Discussion

    As a newcomer to using the stock market to invest (I have only built companies before), I'm looking for a little advice from the more seasoned investors on this board, so will lay out my current position and plan. I currently own 20,281 shares of TSLA. My investment thesis can be reduced to 3...

    Mod: Not having read the Moderators' posts does not provide this poster or any other with an excuse for not heeding them; in that there was a Mod Post just two posts removed from the one you referenced makes your writing that much more egregious.

    Very interesting article, here’s a good companion piece: The Cartel: Collusion Between Germany's Biggest Carmakers - SPIEGEL ONLINE - International I hadn’t realised quite the depth or breadth of the legal issues the German automakers face. This will likely play out over several years and...

    C'mon, surely you can do better than that. Don't let me down, you're my main source of amusement on this forum. Wouldn't be the same without you, xx

    2017 Investor Roundtable:General Discussion

    I'm curious, why would they be "secretly resentful"? I've managed to get 9 family members and friends to invest in TSLA (200k or so between them), and without exception they've all thanked me for the advice and have assured me that they understand the risks involved. Shouldn't we be attempting...

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    Well, @myusername, if you're looking for the ultimate "nuts" guy on here to pour scorn on, I may hold the title. Without ever having seen a Tesla in person, I ordered a Model S P90DL at the start of 2016 for delivery to Spain, at large import expense, without any service or support structure in...

    David Einhorn on GM Value, Tesla Profit, Apple Look out for the double blink at 10m20s and the grimace shortly after. A glimpse of the tortured soul of a Tesla short right now.

    Great to see you posting on these threads, WhiskeySauer. For those that don't know, he's been doing sterling work on Tesla Motors (Tesla, Inc) • r/teslamotors fighting the bears and trolls in the trenches with extremely well thought out arguments and analyses. Hope you'll be posting here more...

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    I'm in the same boat, over 1000 hours of research before buying my first TSLA share, which was my first ever share purchase to boot. When the price fell to the 180s I was 500k Euros down, but didn't lose a wink of sleep because I knew it had nothing to do with the fundamentals, which were...

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    It appears that at least some of the Tesla shorts demonstrate a type of mental dissonance, likely related to their world view and personality type. Despite mountains of evidence to the contrary, they just can't bring themselves to entertain the idea that Elon Musk could actually be motivated by...

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    It's worth watching Dave L's interview with TrendTrader007 - he has quite an original outlook on investing which overall has worked very well for him it seems. I have a lot of time for many of the points he raises, particularly how he views losses and gains.

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    @Jayjs20 Echoing 1kEE, endeavouring to understand the company thoroughly has been crucial to not panicking during the rollercoaster ride that comes with being a TSLA shareholder. I had never bought a stock before TSLA, and spent more than 1000 hours studying *everything* Musk and Tesla related...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    Just caught the wrap-up of a 1 hour Bloomberg programme featuring Chanos - no mention of Tesla or Solarcity in the concluding comments. Did anyone catch the whole programme, or was Chanos perhaps also on another Bloomberg programme today?

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    An interesting, rational, non-alarmist take on the election, written by a huge Tesla & Musk proponent. Worth a read IMO: It's Going to Be Okay - Wait But Why I'll be hanging tight on TSLA no matter how low it goes. If the fundamentals are right, they are right. The "panic monster" will not be...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    I'm in the same boat with Degiro.es, would love to vote my meaningful number of TSLA and SCTY shares. Degiro's Spanish support aren't replying to my emails on the subject. Does anyone have any suggestions?
