Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

A commenter on Tesla is building new ‘drive unit production lines’ at the Gigafactory, will not only manufacture battery packs said
"John Robertsan hour ago
Just letting everybody know, Tesla will be announcing TelsaHUD aka Tesla Glass on Monday. 100% sure."

No source and no confirmation on this rumour.

Yes, I very much doubt that a formal vote can be shortcircuited. Polls are not votes, and as the extinguished professor so eloquently explained, a vote can be changed at the actual meeting - which is, I believe, the only legal forum. Farts and all - no, that was Winston? Well, almost. Maybe Wellington, or Nelson. Some -on.

I am registering my NO vote to the "extinguished" professor. Based on my familiarity with some of his posts this characterization does not quite fit.

I hope this is just the case of autocorrect getting some AI bent on cruel jokes...

Thanks for the heads-up! (Oops)

The technical term is autocorrupt. And ftr, I was only going by his own self-reported story of what his trophy wife calls him, so ...

Can anyone tell it's a pent-up weekend?

Just a heads-up (as you'll be able to see in your new TeslaGlass HUD windshield, of course):

I'm back and, as soon as I've unloaded a giga-boxfull of stuff from home, will be in the saddle. Although that will take some Elon-time.

That's a formal notice to be good boyz 'n grilz now, hear?

BFO, blinding flash of the obvious: The market might react but I still have the option to change my vote so legally Tesla/Solar City can't announce an actual vote until the 17th or later so it would be another irrational response by the market.

There's some saying that better captures the thought above. Something like "it's not over even when the old windbreaker stops his petarding." (When in doubt about decorum always borrow from Shakespeare, a safe hedge.)

Yeah my thought was if the top institutional holders can muster a majority, as I think is the case, it would make retail votes redundant and it seems like they could just call Vanguard etc., and ask if they can confirm their votes and push the date up. But I don't know, maybe they are happy with Nov 17 and wouldn't want it to happen any sooner.

I proudly wear the label. It fits in both senses as she sometimes reminds me with an artful smirk. (She now has a vastly greater vocabulary in English than her native Thai which she proudly admits and sometimes uses with devastatingly effect coaching me into better behavior.)

Sure, I too think the outcome is a given, but to make it legal there will have to be a formal count of valid votes at a formal meeting. That's my read (IANAL).

This is really fantastic:

MKBHD is a majorly influential YouTuber (3.7 million subscribers) and just picked up his P100D today! This video will get millions of views. Name one other automaker whose customers will provide this level of free advertising!

Just revisited the video on youtube by accident, now has 1,196,835 views after just 3 weeks (posted 9/23) !

And here we go AGAIN. Twice within the same week. Guys, first, TMI. Second, this is a public forum, I mean CHILDREN can see it. Plus if you ever run for president, the internet has a long memory....

It was over a million in about 3 or 4days after MKBHD posted it. Not very high for his channel actually, about average.

My understanding is if they have the votes before Nov 17 then they could proceed earlier. Can anyone confirm this? Over a month seems like a long time to tally votes when it seems like most of them could be voted within the next week, it only took me about 30 seconds to do it electronically.

Wonder the market reaction would be if they came out some time this week and said they already had enough votes for it to pass?

Yeah, I don't think you can read it that way. The exact wording called for the solicitation of additional proxies "if there are not sufficient votes to approve the tesla merger". That means if for some reason there aren't enough votes for the merger, they can (and probably will) try again. That means the merger WILL go through (either on Nov 17th or later).

I suppose if the online vote totals include the major blocks (Fidelity, etc.), and sufficient retail voters. and are available that day showing majority approval, that might be announced before the meeting ends and our anxieties relieved.

Any theories behind the spike of over 1/2 million TSLA shares traded after hours last night?

What looks like big trades a few minutes after market closing usually turns out to be trades during market hours that were late in posting. Looking at the volume involved, you would expect a much bigger spike if that size of trade took place in slow after-hours trading on a Friday.

Curt,
What is your take on TSLA technical charts?

 

[geneclean55]

Maybe the new product unveiling involves a tie-up with another company that will also provide capital to Tesla. That would certainly be 'unexpected' and makes sense on Musks twitter timeline. Elon tweets about product unveiling, immediately followed by tweet about not needing equity raise.

 

[dmckinstry]

Judging from the initial postings, it doesn't seem that many have noticed the 2nd item that was on the proxyvote. Come hell or highwater, this merger WILL be done. Maybe not on Nov 17th, but it will happen.

I assume you mean the final vote being postponed if there isn't a sufficient number.

 

[dmckinstry]

Has anyone read Thru the prospectus? perhaps there was something in there that caused the stock price to drop on Friday for TSLA and rise for SCTY.

Yeh. Fatigue from reading the whole thing carefully.
