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

[UncaNed]

wtf just happened after hours

EDIT: I see, must have been a random sell at 320 that made my ticker go wonky.

I'm gonna report the next guy I find wonking his ticker on this forum to the MOD'S.

So...anybody think we will end green tod

Here is my view regarding ARK ETF. I like their approach, they have good analysts too.
However, as a long term Tesla investor, I expect this stock to significantly outperform. Putting my money into an ETF that keeps selling TSLA when it goes up, that's against my thesis on TSLA.

I put $1000 into TSLA, if it rallies 20 fold in a few years, I get $20,000.
I put $1000 into ARK ETF, only $100 goes to TSLA, as soon as TSLA doubles, they sell half. You can see in the end very little money is still in TSLA.

However there are many stocks other than Tesla that will gain substantially in the next few years. I've made a fair amount of money on other stocks which I then reinvested in Tesla. It's obvious that holding investments at 10% and reinvesting their profits can be a winning strategy.

I dunno....given the last two days....you might end up seeing a lot of stuff that's hard to unsee.

He's just trying to draw attention from investors away from their numbers, since they're not the numbers that matter. But they're most definitely not terminating them any time soon. They wouldn't be at the Nurburgring if that was the plan.

They serve an important role, which is halo cars. Model S as the lightning-fast sedan, and Model X as the robot SUV from the future.

Did no state about the S/X going anywhere soon, my guess the S/X will soldier on the same platform for another 3 or 4 years. Its what happens next that's interesting. By that time the 3,Y and Pickup will be in full production at multiple plants around the world. The S/X will be viewed differently in three years.

Before any of you short-sighted "investors" do something you regret consider this:

Musk promised to burn the short-sellers in a BIG way.
He has a reputation of being late on his predictions
This morning he tweeted a picture of a flame
I think he still has more ammo

Trade this puppy at your own risk!

This is what trading accounts are for.

Leave your core positions untouched. Add to them with profits from your trading if you are lucky enough to have them.

And most of all, get those BEVs on the road!

TSLAQ on Twitter is mostly people bagging on them. A few are trying to say that this sudden jump is fishy. It IS hilarious seeing all the posts from 3 days ago where people talk about doubling down on their short positions. Ouch.

Reuters - this afternoon: Fiat Chrysler recalls 108,000 diesel Ram 1500 pickup trucks for coolant leaks

Excerpt: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV (FCHA.MI) said on Friday it is recalling 108,000 Ram 1500 diesel-powered pickup trucks in the United States for coolant leaks tied to reports of some fires and four minor injuries.

But what about the stickers warning the airbags could kill you?

 

[Oil4AsphaultOnly]

No, just running out of money. For example,

He still thinks the $TSLAQ trolls who mislead him were a good source of information. That he was "smart enough" to know who to listen to.

He also says "at least I tried" and that Elon is a corrupt, lying, law breaking fraud who abuses people

Exactly! As much as I feel bad for him, it's his own fault for not recognizing that it's his "buddies" that did him in. Vicious cults like TSLAQ need to die, as their members are beyond redemption, and their only purpose is the destruction of TSLA. There cannot be any "open" discussions and compromise with uncompromising people.

I'm pretty sure they will always have a similar pair of vehicles as there is always a market for a large sedan and SUV, and the halo effect helps sell the more popular lines.

Look, it's a big deal. If you know they could kill you, then maybe you'll opt not to use them.

I would still be surprised if they didn't upgrade them to the new batteries and wiring within the next year or so just for manufacturing consistency and COGS reduction.

It's not creative accounting if they have taken in more $$ for FSD, and not delivered on it yet, and parked it (no pun intended) in DR

A literal form of ‘$mart $ummon’ then?

 

[Tslynk67]

Given what I saw with the trading today, I have to think they will use everything they have to keep it under $300, through Friday and maybe into Monday. Whether they can or not depends upon the buying pressure. In any case, I do see $310-$320 or more within two or three weeks, barring any big negative news.

Ok, I'm not smart enough to respond to this so I will put it up for discussion here and will look forward to your responses. Many of the doubters are saying "Yeah, well wait until the 10Q is filed. Then we'll see where things REALLY are." What could be in the 10Q that would shed negative light?

Djeezes, another 10 years of waiting

It's not waiting if you are living your life. Stop watching the ticker and live some. It's nice if you can live a fun, fulfilling life while watching your retirement fund balloon like rabbits in a cage. Most people who try to scalp a couple thousand here and there waste their lives trying and never get there anyway.

Don't "wait", "live"!

Personally I'm quite prepared for the "uncovering" of creative accounting by TSLAQ sleuths, which you could find in literally any large corporation's books if you look hard enough. I'm sure they will try to make it into a scandal, but I'm not convinced it would undo the new SP level that we'll settle into after truck reveal, GF4 announcement. Maybe a slight buying opportunity to load up.

Which direction is his flame thrower facing? Make sure it’s not at us longs like last year.
