Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2013

[kenliles]

I'm assuming the clear and present $90 support we're seeing today is GS supporting until the offering is filled

 

[ongba]

Is anyone considering entering at this level prior to the anticipated supercharger annoucement this week? The premiums are just insane on the options. Am looking
at the sept 105's for around 8 to 8.5. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I don't think the Supercharging announcement will move the stock much. I think understanding the significance of this announcement will require looking too far out into the future to make a big short term move in the stock.

Yep. It's my feeling that some big boys are providing support (MS, GS, etc).

Is the loan paid for now? If not, when will that happen?

The real unknown here is the mystery announcement. If the demonstration is quite radicle we could see more upward movement. Either way I think a downward swing would be a great buying opportunity.

It was stated sometime this week.

And then I Guess we could expect big buyers coming in?

There already in, who do you think bought $1 Billion worth of TSLA?
Mutual Funds, Hedge Funds, companies with a lot of cash to invest.

I know that, but when they do it, I Guess some heads will turn their attention the Stock, and perhaps get some themselfs.

I think that's true- it'll tend to add some fuel from retail and other funds providing some support- the big quantity buyers are probably loaded up pretty well and in a hold mode for a while now. Shouldn't take long to fill the offering. A nice ceremony of the new fill and DOE payoff can only help

Sigh since they are paying back the loan this week, the supercharger announcement is postponed (ONCE AGAIN!!) Grr.

Given govt loan repayment this week (prob Wed), Supercharger update will be next week. Work continuing independent of announcement. (Twitter / elonmusk: Given govt loan repayment this ...)

Yup right from the Boss! I was rethinking about the numbers. I'm thinking Tesla has some serious potential to hit $150 based on this new "floor," in the next 6 months. Car is definitely getting more people interested just from what I hear. I also made a Marketing presentation in class about the company and a potential marketing plan my group and I made up... got some serious buzz.

[blakegallagher]

But the supercharger announcement is planned for this week still ..... got thrown off thinking Hershey101 was saying it was being pushed back to next week.

 

[ongba]

I think the supercharger announcement has been moved to next week.

Tweet from Elon.

Guessing his tweet is not having an effect today. I would have thought that actually paying off the DOE loan would have had a positive effect. Maybe tomorrow?

Probably already priced in.
