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

[KMCC]

I have been watching tesla stock every day since I got in 4 years ago. Today I did my first day trade and bought 10 shares @1500 and sold soon after for @1530.
Minutes later it's 1563.
Made my day!!
I also got my son and daughter in at 1500...(finally)

Damn I suck at this

Repeat after me, "I, Big Time, am like a super genius. Big Time."

 

[H Mak]

Wow, up 5% on the day now

 

[Curt Renz]

Well well well, what have we here (for now)? Some combination of optimism and FOMO.

This must be the explanation.

If there was ever a Mon/Tues/Wed for East Coast traders to take off and go to the beach....this is it.

Is it now?

And still we don’t know how to wait a minute.

WTF? If no news, is this a leak?

Did they go up and grab the one from orbit?!

 

[Sudre]

Hmmm.... it appears we are not gapping up so no backing up to fill the gap?
It's like an orderly panic...LOL

The range has tightened so much this morning that there will likely be a breakout to one side this afternoon. It’s too volatile of a stock to be bound this tight on earnings week. Everyone is waiting for a move though, if it starts to run up it will be piled on but currently it’s at a basic stand still and so it’s not a smart move to place a bet here.

Share holders are in the best position to sit back and enjoy this week, but option players are in a tough boat here.

Nailed it! Congratulations you’re batting 1.000 for the day.

The discussion is about Standard and Poor's asking Tesla to issue more stock to increase liquidity to ameliorate the share price pop that will happen when $40+ Billion of TSLA needs to be bought by the index funds in about a week. According to Rob Maurer, S&P has previously asked companies being added to do that.

The problem with this line of thinking is that S&Ps really doesn't have any leverage over Tesla to get them to something they might not otherwise do. Tesla doesn't need an S&P listing but S&P needs Tesla.

Wait, we're in the wrong stock. NIO is up 15%

Just to anecdotally add to what Troy is stating here, on a drive through the Bay Area yesterday I saw a number of trucks loaded with Ys driving on the highway, and I saw a lot of Ys driving on the highway. They are selling a ton of these cars.

https://twitter.com/TroyTeslike/status/1285240274034327554

Based on my calculation, Tesla delivered more Model Ys in the US in Q2 2020 than Model 3s despite the $6K higher price at the time. The price difference is $3K since 11 July. In Q3 and Q4, I expect Model Y to exceed Model S, X, and 3 combined.

2 more days of people thinking they are missing the “big move” haha this is great!

 

[Krugerrand]

Resistance expected near 1550

...and then you got thinking you were Babe Ruth and struck out. Batting average for the day now .500

New Seeking something article:

Nikola, Rivian, NIO, Fisker - Tesla's Competition Is Arriving

Should not Ford, GM, BM, VW and everyone else already be here?

I'm the kind of person that really dislikes saying "goodbyes" when I'm leaving a gathering because it can turn into an extended and somewhat uncomfortable thing.

But this extended "arrival" of Tesla's competition is making saying "goodbye" seem like a cakewalk!

Do you want aliens? That's how you get aliens.
