Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2013

[Citizen-T]

Glad to see Tesla is tweeting. Guess they are still there...

I wish they would have released the press release by now. GRPN released their's at 4:01 today with positive news (and they are having an after hours rally). It doesn't mean anything really, but usually the press release will be out before a conference call so it can be digested briefly.

I'm sure it will be released before the conference call, but the CC isn't for another hour.

Wow, up to $59.05 now...

EDIT: Make that $61 ... those are not late-registered from earlier today.

... 61.74 ...

outlook could be better: "The lease accounting treatment for cars sold through our new financing plan will have no impact on our cash flows, and we expect to be roughly breakeven on cash flow from operations in Q2, despite launch costs in Europe and a huge increase in service centers, stores and Supercharger stations. However, the deferred revenue recognition required by GAAP for lease accounting will lead to a net loss on paper in Q2.”

Overall a great report….Nice job TSLA!

That's to be expected with those investment costs. They will more than pay for themselves very soon and the important thing is not losing money right now.

They bumped up their yearly guidance of Model S sales by 5% which is really nice. I expect they are being modest so they can continue to deliver good news over the year.

Congrats to everyone who didn't take profit yesterday. And to everyone who did, and got back in today.

[Jonathan Hewitt]

I kept all my shares but only put 1/3rd of my stash money in the market into options, holding onto 2/3rd in case of pullback. Small regrets, but hey, I would've been more upset if it had crashed, haha. Overall VERY happy

[ShortSlaver]

MARGIN CALLS INCOMING!!!

There are a lot of shorts that will absolutely have to cover tomorrow. Make no mistake, the AH volume is high but it will be nothing compared to tomorrow and probably the rest of the next couple weeks.

I just read the quarterly report. Do I understand that they are CASHFLOW positive for Q1? They mention that cash is at 231 M$, 10 M$ more, even with the DOE payment of 13 M$ !!!

I'd love for someone to make a collage of JP's TSLA headlines. We could frame it and send it to him next to a picture of the stock price.
