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

[KarenRei]

Gawd no....I read the same article and that stuff scares me. With Deep fake videos and AI writing fud...we are all doomed.

(In all honestly, that stuff creeps me out too. We're lucky that voice-mimicking software like Lyrebird isn't quite up to par yet. It does sound like the person, but like a robotic version of the person. That said, I've seen a DeepFake someone did of Obama where they used sections of the same speech from him, just pieced together differently to have a different meaning, with the Deepfake presenting them as contiguous, and it was totally seamless. Not the slightest clue that something was off.)

Disagree with @bonnie and @Swampgator

Linette Lopez, Lora Kolodny, Russ Mitchell, Charles Gasparino, Dana Hull...

They are all birds of the same feather. Just varying degrees of lying, dishonesty, unethical and outright despicable behavior. Some of them won't hide their hatred for Tesla and Musk and will openly collaborate with shorts and anyone who want Tesla to die. Linette, Laura and Russ are on that extreme. Zero journalistic ethics. Total scumbags.

Now Dana is more subtle. She will not hesitate to bring out and amplify the negative angle, even in reports that are meant to highlight positive developments. Her twitter messages, almost all of them poke fun or enjoy the predicaments and failures.

Phil LeBeau is the only one who has been just plain factual and no drama. But one time he also gave exposure to the website of parking lot rats. No idea why would he think that would be of any news value for an outfit like CNBC?

The stock has been downright boring since Thursday AM.

Until one day TSLA activates the raptor engines and many people miss on the rally, while others get wiped (naked short sellers).

Nobody's going to ring a bell.

Grand Aurora is at Zeebrugge. What is this, the third ship to arrive? Glovis Captain and Glovis Cosmos were #1 and #2, respectively, if memory serves.

Still no new ship at Pier 80. Frustrating. Maybe they're needing to increase their (more profitable) domestic inventory.

Relatedly, Shell recently won the rights to 1 of 3 offshore wind farm sites in an auction.
$135 million just for the site, rivals oil drilling locations.

Interesting. So this time around, it will be some local billionaire resident versus Shell.

Errr..that not just "some local billionaire..."

Not using Nikola tesla to his fullest potential is one of the tragic ends in history. I can only hope you americans don't repeat history and watch anxiously from the sideline.

Sigh.....we do like to muck around...and no good deed goes unpunished.

Pathetic 3.804M shares traded by 4:00 pm EST (pfftt!)

That's the lowest volume day since Jan-30-2017.

Do you get the feeling some "News" is pending?

Yes, feels that way. Also this is the Friday before a long weekend. Wonder how this compares to other tech stocks.

Source, please. At least for Germany, this is total FUD. See estimates for growth on tagesschau.de:
Die aktuellen Konjunkturprognosen für Deutschland All 1%+ growth for 2019.

Adjusted for inflation Germany’s economy shrunk in the last 2 quarters, so yes technically not a recession.
0% growth last quarter, following only 0.2% growth the previous quarter

Germany narrowly avoids recession

It couldn't have been much closer. And it is certainly possible that subsequent revisions to these figures will take the fourth quarter figure below zero and Germany into recession as the term is often defined.

As for the future, I wouldn’t put too much weight on a forecast from a central bank/government - as an example, Australia just downgraded its latest growth forecast an entire percentage point

Reminder that Tesla is the only auto maker in the world that sells every new car for MSRP and turns their inventory 20x a year. It will be studied in business schools as the most capital efficient auto maker of the 21st century, as others struggle with pensions and fixed costs!

Right now, as we speak, people all over the world

are getting a chance to drive or ride in a Model 3

for the first time. Many of them will place orders for a Model 3 of their own before the quarter is over.

I think Germany has entered a full panic mode now that Tesla Model 3 is showing them what it's like to go 0-60 in 3 seconds with NO DRAMA
