Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

[canoemore]

Volume really picked up towards the close. In AH I see a big buy order of 23.42K shares lined up at 599.10

Somebody wants to buy high or the benchmark funds are slowly jumping in. That big order cannot be retail.

Fingers and toes crossed. That would be awesome for next week

TSLA +1.0%

An all-time closing high for my 75th birthday present

Happy birthday!

For those who believes in TA. This is the signal they were waiting for as Tesla managed to close above 587 twice, therefore bull run will resume next week.

I think the last thing Elon wants is a mega corporation not on the same page. He likes to acquire small companies in which it's much easier to change a few dozen employee's corporate mindset. But a corporation with hundreds of thousands of employees not hand picked by the Tesla team? No thanks. That's just baggage.

I concur, especially if there's labor union involved, things will move far slower and costs so much in nearly everything.

I actually took a look at the Options chain and was tempted to gamble 100 shares in selling a covered call for a quick $500. Then decided against it because it breaks my rule for playing in the options game.

Well glad I didn't sell that options contract. Tesla stock would have been called away. Over $600. My rule on covered calls remains in tact.

Just a FYI a begging cat is not a good look.

I look damn cute and everyone is welcome except you. See where the SP closed? That was all me. So, yeah.

Do you accept Nikola?

(Don’t know if they can make it up on your mountain)

As long as they possess monetary value - *checks NKLA SP real quick* - yes, that’ll do.

I wonder if some Big Dawg knows something? There is something interesting going on for sure. See how volume picks up 5 mins before the close

 

[ZeApelido]

Toilet boy doesn't understand that Elon taking a dump on his face is worth 10x the taxes he would have saved. The guy literally spends time away from his busy schedule to design short shorts just to troll people like him.

That's an image I could have done without.

 

[AudubonB]

You’re welcome for the breaking $595. But save your posts, just send those bloody appreciation shares.

Wording's a little off. It's bloodied short-sellers whom we appreciate.

 

[Nocturnal]

Life got in the way so just checked the SP. Man, we just squeaked by. I'd be nervous the whole weekend if I had to buy or god forbid was short.

GM may just be crazy like a fox. Imagine how, next, it will be the same requirement for keeping a Chevrolet sign at the dealership location? This may be part of a strategy to rid themselves of a significant portion of the ponderous dealer network by getting the dealers to choose to bail.

Brilliant! Then, they can move to an online sales model that is tied to their resulting dealer/service/charging network that starts to look a lot like Tesla's business plan. Only, GM already has the locations staked out, even if owned by third parties.

Putting a little more thought (dreams?) into this, imagine Tesla then picking up closed GM dealerships on prime, easy on/off highway frontage and installing Superchargers, Diners, Showrooms, Service Centers and such in order to expand their footprint.

Don’t forget the ever-present irony. GM would then team up with Tesla to blow up the laws in states that prevent non-franchise sales.

CNBC - hour ago:

 

[jw934]

CNBC stock chart shows after hour trade volume of 7,379,896 at 4PM, 5,253,1146 at 4:02PM, and 5,252,348 at 4:27PM. That's over 17 million shares. I wonder if perhaps some $600 call option holders executed. Volume of those calls were 120,167 today. If purchased today with intent to execute then that would certainly be a good way to get tens of millions of shares. (not sure on the impact of buying those calls would have on the stock price during market hours)

The SP never got above $600 during market open. I see the current after hours SP is right at $600.

In this case, would $600 calls get exercised after market closes? I guess I'm asking how options get closed out in this scenario.
