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

[MC3OZ]

After a nice IPA..or three a chance to reflect.
The basic problem is we are living in a information void. We don't know what discussions Mr. Musk has had with Cal government officials.
We don't know how many Dr's he has consulted.

So as for myself when I have a lack of information I tend to be quiet.
Other seem to like to scream from the rooftops that the sky is falling.

Now I need another IPA ..or three .....and work on some island plans

Will it help your drinking if I post something with hard to decipher typos?

 

[PeterJA]

I’ve repeatedly said...

You certainly have. Please make a new thread, such as "Elon's Insanity", and continue repeating it there if you can't stop yourself.

 

[TheGrimSweeper]

The good news about today's media cycle is that in 5 days time no one will really remember these tweets. Onto the next scandal.

Yes and lot's and lot's of acronym's.

 

[azred]

I dumped the rest of my shares this morning at $824 and wondered if I was wise!

Sale was yesterday not this morning. Lucky move, I think

 

[Creekstalker]

we need to figure out how to stop it.

You should probably take a break.

Elon's twitter followers just ticked up to 33.5M (from 33.4)
People not abandoning en masse. That has to be good right?

And whose IPA? I'm getting thirsty. Wish they still made Ballard Bitter, Redhook IPA sucks in comparison. Now talk about a bad sale... I know they had to have an exit strategy but selling to Anheuser Busch? Can't call yourselves a microbrewery after that...

More ppl agree with him than not. The ones who don’t happen to be the most vocal. It’s also politically incorrect to agree with Elon’s approach to expressing himself.

Look at Huntington Beach and OC - they’re out there protesting for crying out loud. This is not a far right demographic. Newsom is just bad. IMHO

 

[wipster]

Yes and lot's and lot's of acronym's.

I see what you did there...

 

[Krugerrand]

i hope everyone takes this weekend time to break and calm down. Its been one of those days

Dang! If I get any calmer I’m going to be comatose.

 

[Pras]

Today was a good reassurance, Elon is our same old Elon. So sleep well, we are in good hands.

 

[BornToFly]

Damn, I take a day off to move and discover over a thousand new posts and the stock has plummeted.

My initial thought was that Elon died of a heart attack or the Fremont factory was flattened by an earthquake or China nationalized G3! Much to my relief, it's just some more Elon being Elon tweets. They're irritating and often baffling, but I do not believe they'll have a long term impact on the company and the stock. I'm just glad I'm a HODLER and not a day or swing trader!

Now back to catching up with this thread from my new pool!

Stay frosty everyone!View attachment 537922

I think there is a little space for a few TMC members to join you in that pool, or is it off limits like Krugerrand's island?

You’re just going to want to make sure she’s not digging your grave.

My experience with women digging in the dirt is it makes them more frisky. In a good way.

 

[FrankSG]

You know what’s hilarious?
I actually find these outbursts from so called “Tesla investors” more unhinged than what Elon tweets. You all freak out over a few words in a tweet. I can’t imagine how you’d freak out over a real problem affecting production and tens of thousands of employees. Yes, the stock price for the employees dropped today. Big whoop. I doubt too many were planning on selling today.

The stock price will do what it’s going to do. The long run is what counts. Elon doesn’t give a squat about day traders because they are ONLY in it to make money. Nothing about the mission or long term goals. Do you honestly think Rob Barren is going to sell because of this? Unlikely. Just another day that will be forgotten. Just like how all of you have somehow forgotten where the stock price was just 6 months ago.

All you chicken littles REALLY need to look at yourself in the mirror.

The COVID-19 drop in March, and now this drop over Elon's tweet, are sure to have further solidified the TSLA investor base into investors with a long term horizon. Ones who don't let things that have no long term impact on their investment dictate their investment decisions.

I'm expecting heavy selling on Monday. Some funds are going to decide over the weekend that this stock isn't suitable for them. Could be a good buying opportunity.

You think the real big money is going to care enough about this to sell? Most of the money invested in TSLA has been in it for years. They won't care about this. They'll be discussing the ER, the great margins, and the future outlook over the weekend, and probably deciding they want to add to their positions at a discount. Barring macros and bad news about the Fremont factory, I'd be pretty shocked if we're not higher in a few weeks.

Does this mean Fremont is days away from opening?

Absolutely not. As The Governor already said, what the Bay Area counties decide to do is fine by him. He won’t interfere if they wish to be more stringent.

However, if every county but the Bay 6 open that will put tremendous pressure on the 6 to copy.

 

[FrankSG]

Robinhood appears to be buying the dip. Makes me think the drop to $700 is mostly shorts piling on and a few weak-longs who are making a lot of noise.

Although a lot of things could happen in the short term, I'd guess more-likely-than-not we'll see a quick and intense recovery.

$1,000+ end of May if Newsom announces next week that Fremont can reopen?

 

[AlMc]

I sold no TSLA today. Made a few $ this week playing ER/volatility covered calls @$1,000 and sold puts @$700. (OK, just barely on those not being assigned). I am tired of being on the wrong side of the IV crush...so selling options vs buying.

This to shall pass..not sure if we drop sub $300 before going back up...Holding core....

Be well and stay safe all.

 

[Krugerrand]

So thanks for the offer but as you can see I have some pretty sweet opportunity's lined up.

So... I can expect your resume on my desk by 10am tomorrow? Don’t forget to include 3 non-family member references with correct phone numbers; I will be calling them all so make sure you tell them to get their story’s straight.
