Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2013

[Beckler]

Something else happened; my 3 other stocks are seeing their own spike and were all preceded by a small dip as well.

 

[FredTMC]

Fed minutes released

Fed report did not say yes to Taper to the market rejoiced. TSLA is just along for the ride

 

[ongba]

What just happened, anything news related? TSLA surged up nearly 2 points with over 200k in volume in the last 5 minutes, at least according to my 5 minute chart.

likely related to fed releasing minutes from July meeting.

Ah I see. Yeah everything else I'm watching took a spike up and continuing north as well. I'm surprised I didn't see it in my newsfeed, oh well. Speaking of going north, TSLA is now in the green.

Amazing how much TSLA was doing the DOW. Down all day and as soon as it turns green TSLA follows. Great opportunity for additional shares at the $147 price range thanks to the fed.

now we are back to testing the $150. this should be interesting.

Also I hope the interview with Elon on nightline tonight helps boost us in the morning

Another controversy in the making?

NHTSA says they don't rate beyond 5 stars.

OK, I'll admit it, I balked when it hit 139 and did the inadvisable thing, sold on emotion, but with the clear goal of not losing principle and retaining modest gain since originally in at $125, which I did achieve. I held the cash for a week, watching. the safety rating was the shot in the arm I was looking for. got up early expecting it to hit $150 and drop from a bunch of limits sales. bought in at 147.5, my first truly timed buy in. it was exciting, almost felt like I knew what I was doing... anyway, selling low was a learning experience. interesting study of one's own mood impulses. It's clear to me that without something on the horizon or in the news for Tesla, it's all to easy to fall pray to vertigo.

Yeah this is Elon getting free PR.

Here is the quote from NHTSA at the bottom of the page:
"No matter what, you can't say it's the safest car ever tested, just that it had the best overall test score of any vehicle tested by NHTSA."

In other words there is a reason they don't rank cars and Elon isn't supposed to advertise that they had the highest score. The bottom line is there are other very safe cars out there even with the hindrance of an ICE. Still, the Model S is probably the safest.

Clarence Ditlow, the director of the Center of Auto Safety: "No matter what, you can't say it's the safest car ever tested, just that it had the best overall test score of any vehicle tested by NHTSA."

Um...that's either semantics or an admission that NHTSA tests aren't accurate...

 

[fjm9898]

Ya I read that last sentence to and was quite confused. Oxymoron much?

Perhaps you missed my post.

Tell me, when in TSLA's history has it been a bad idea to buy when it was 13% off the highs?

Updated chart, BTW:

 

[ongba]

Tsla having a devil of a time cracking 150...may be early, but looks like the powers that be would like to pin it under 150 for the week.

 

[fjm9898]

They just dont have any news to move on. Its tracking pretty close to the market trend. Market is falling back off and now TSLA is too.

Yup, back in the red. The day traders are taking profits.

 

[justdoit]

Definitely following the general market for the second half of today

 

[justthateasy]

I'm thinking it may be more than just day traders now, the whole market rolled back over.

 

[twinklejet]

As usual, I'm standing by my prediction of closing between 146 to 148 (obviously closer to 148 now) perhaps i'll miss by a few cents... but we're definitely closing red and i'm really on a roll! but please you may ignore me LOL

- - - Updated - - -

Closed 147.86 ! Wow I'm surprised by myself.

Don't know why everyone else was so excited about testing 150... Like I said earlier today we're more than likely to close in the red between 146 to 148...
So 150 was definitely out of the question, that jump up was like meh, time to sell...
Oh well, disclaiming myself again please ignore my predictions as I've just started doing this recently

"Clarence Ditlow, the director of the Center of Auto Safety, told ABC News that the Tesla Model S did earn very high marks on NHTSA's crash tests. However, he also says that Tesla Motors's spin on the score is misleading. "No matter what, you can't say it's the safest car ever tested, just that it had the best overall test score of any vehicle tested by NHTSA."


Or a little bit overzealous on Tesla's part.
