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

[FrankSG]

Could it be, that as @FrankSG reports, it’s NOT that dangerous. But the officials in Wuhan dropped the ball through mismanagement, leading to Chinese social media exploding with videos of bodies in the corridors, wards shut due to lack of fit and well doctors and patients cramming up the system?

I think you meant to mention somebody else. I think I've posted only one very small inconsequential post on the virus.

Also, mods mentioned they don't want anymore virus posts in this thread, unless there is some really big development that impacts macros perhaps.

Christ people read so much into tweets. I reckon the explanation for many of elons tweets is totally random. The guy has probably been stood up in an impromptu spacex design meeting for an hour and he isn't getting any younger. He needed a sit down, and tweeted about it whilst having a crap...

1/31/20 $1000 calls, or the micro-payment based charity line to support Wall Street options writers!

Yes, that is my best guess. Perhaps she will be appointed as COO? There was a rumor when she was first appointed that it was as a trial and that if successful she would take on a role similar to Gwynne Shotwell at SpaceX.

Chairs are underappreciated he sitting and watching the SpaceX nitrogen tank pressure test probably didn’t have a chair, test is taking longer than expected.

Sadly, bears too.
But also bulls who buy call spreads

Sorry; meant @Singuy

On mods, point taken. Rather than discuss things that might affect both fundamentals and stock price of Tesla, let’s instead blast off for pages and pages about our personal options positions.

So the bid/ask spread on those 2020/01/31 1000c options was $0.04/$0.08 yesterday, with the last traded price of $0.06.

Any bullish option writer who didn't close out those contracts for $0.06 is in reality a bear!!

What Tesla’s $100B Market Cap Says About The Company

 

[Artful Dodger]

Yes, that is my best guess. Perhaps she will be appointed as COO? There was a rumor when she was first appointed that it was as a trial and that if successful she would take on a role similar to Gwynne Shotwell at SpaceX.

If she's doing a good job as Chair of the BOD, why move her sideways? Since Elon is restricted from resuming the Chair until Nov 2021. Tesla still needs Robin where she is until then. After that, if she is interested, she could become COO or CEO, as long as Elon remains as Chief Product Architech, then the terms of this CEO compensation plan remain intact.

Personally, I think Robin gets a shout out on the cal, or maybe makes the opening or closing statement. That's a good way to show appreciation, and might whet her interest in a more public future role.

But hey, you're right, could be anything!

Cheers!

FWIW, my son and DIL are medical professionals in two different hospital systems in San Diego. Their hospital briefings are saying the same thing.

Reading the reports from China this has been pretty obvious - contagious, but mild. Hopefully those reports are accurate, hopefully it doesn't mutate, but so far appears less than the general panic suggests.

On topic - interesting to observe once again at 13:00 (my local time), when trading opens-up to a wider audience, the SP jumped from the $568-9 range to $573-4. AT 14:00 (so in 25 minutes from now, the pre-market window opens with my brokerage, maybe for other's too), so will look to see if we get some significant movement at that time too.

TBH, I don't really understand why some can trade and others can't, seems skewed and unfair.

Nasdaq futures currently up 0.50% - yesterday they started high and then faded towards main market opening, opposite so far today.

Going to be one hell of an interesting 24 hours, whatever happens!

Good luck with the bets you may have made!

Best thing about this afternoon is reading the play by play right here!

How many are going to call in rich on Friday?

If I understand this chart right it is implying most of the short value people are paying for is for a stock price move of about -50% in less than 5 trading days. Aren’t these state price distributions usually much more centered around current price?

Media is reporting Options open interest implies a move of +/- 11.8% after the earnings letter and call. That implies a possible range of $500 to $630. Imma buyer on any dip, and an hodler way past 630...

Cheers!

Tesla patent for electrolyte additive to improve battery life. Battery Day can't get here soon enough.


Tesla filed a patent 'Dioxazolones and nitrile sulfites as electrolyte additives for lithium-ion batteries'

I guess this is based in the dendrite research and reduction that was being done. Guessing...

I will be happy just to be able to say that eating cat food is unlikely to happen.

Guardian to ban advertising from fossil fuel firms
