TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

[oneday]

NO. He needs to STAY AWAY from Hollywood Trollips and drugs! He needs simple moral living, no hustlers at all, no pimps, no kind of communists at all. Away from Hollywood.

I honestly hope he goes to Burningman in two weeks. I think that could be a great break for him.

I contacted several people at the times and let them know about the tweet and how unprofessional that was. Others are advised to do the same. A journalist, bragging about hurting the stock after interviewing the CEO about his personal life? For crying out loud....

I'm sorry to be less than glowy about this, Karen, but I believe the types of people who are receiving your calls will be laughing at your messages. They are literally the type of organization that is trying to take down our country and anything good we do. They consider complaints like that the highest praise. They are also being paid off a lot by short sellers and are happy to hear your complaints because they will feel vindicated for destroying people.

Elon is letting everyone down by listening to the activists, establishmentarians, Democrats, Communists, and short sellers, who are all the same people, all globalist destructionists. If he knew what was better for Tesla he would have been working with the good people all along, or at least investigated them and seen which way they went and reacted accordingly. Him agreeing with the liars at NYT and with his not-independent "Independent" board member from mob-run Chicago to not say anything is the STUPIDEST thing he's done; he needs to KEEP talking, not shut up and cry like a slave.

Ulmo, who are the "good people?"

 

[KarenRei]

They are experts at pretending they are on your side and that they care about the cause. Elon is a sucker for that and is probably unable to detect human malice.

Yeah. I have no doubt that he's a bit on the autism spectrum and has trouble reading other people's intents and feelings.

That would be literally the worst possible thing imaginable that he could do when people are speculating about him and drug use. He needs a cabin in the middle of nowhere. Preferably with no cell signal.

Anyway... aftermarket is down a touch more... think we'll break under 300 tomorrow?

As of today's low of $303, we are now 21.7% into a dip from the $387 high. Historically, this has been a great spot to buy. We may drop further, who knows. Here's a little TSLA history for this level of dip:

Since 2012, there have been a total of 7 dips in the range of 21 - 24% (about 1 per year.) The average climb from here was 28.3%. The smallest climb was 14.5%. There were 2 climbs of over 50% from this level, but they were way back in 2013. A 14.5% climb from $303 is $347.

May 2012: 22.8% (19% climb over 7 trading days)
June 2013: 23.2% (51% climb over 26 trading days)
July 2013: 21.4% (52% climb over 18 trading days)
March 2014: 23.4% (15.8% climb over 6 trading days)
April 2014: 21.7% (19% climb over 5 trading days)
June 2016: 22.1% (26% climb over 24 trading days)
July 2017: 21.5% (14.5% climb over 13 trading days)

Screw ‘em. If people really feel this way about Elon they should sell the stock.

Long time lurker, first time (and maybe last time) Internet poster, and a soon-ish to be M3 owner.

I've been investing in TSLA on and off since the early years when SP was still in the low double digits. I held long but always exited my position when it netted a modest return. I've only recently returned to TSLA during the big dip in March/April, and that's around the time I discovered this forum and have been lurking here since. The wealth of knowledge and insight shared by the posters here are simply amazing and much appreciated by the lurkers/amateur investors like me.

What I'm about to propose might be better served in another thread, but this is where I hangout most and would like to gauge support for this idea.

Through all my years of investing, I've never felt this personally and emotionally invested in a company like Tesla and its CEO. Elon's vision and mission (plus his heart and smarts) resonate with me, and like others here, I’m 100% supportive of TSLAP (even if it means I can no longer be part of the Tesla story because I can't or don't qualify to hold private shares) and I'm willing to stick with TSLA to the bitter end.

In addition to silently supporting TSLA by holding/buying shares and owning their products, I would also like to be a bit more vocal in my support of Elon by writing a personal letter expressing my appreciation and confidence in all that he's trying to do (and have already done). I'm also planning to express the same sentiments to the Delivery Specialist when it comes time for me to take delivery of my M3. My hope is that if enough supporters do this, we can create a “Miracle on the 34th Street” moment and show Elon he has a lot more people standing with him than against him. Although the effect may not be as immediate, I think seeing bags upon bags of personal letters of support has a much bigger and more palpable impact than receiving a million “likes” or “tweets”.

Oh, and not sure if this is how it works, but to qualify this post for Market Actions, I'm planning to buy a few more shares at ~300 as soon as funding becomes available.

Cheers.

Fantastic sentiments!!
I wholeheartedly support your views.

Most people I talk to say Tesla isn't going private. All I can say is this ****ing media really knows how to brainwash people.

Now the media is attacking Elon at all angles. The are talking about getting him out as CEO. What's really funny they are saying that they think the price will go up. The media knows the stock price will go down if Elon leaves CEO. That way the shorts that control them can cover their position. This is next level *sugar*. If there was a movie about tesla you could show how the media brainwashed the masses in this case.

It's amazing to me that shorts thinks Elon was lieing and doesn't have the funding. I have never seen Elon lie.

I can totally see why Elon would want take this company private.

It seems that Elon gave an interview to Marques. I wonder if it was done on the same day as the NYT interview and it may show a completely different Elon

 

[phil0909]

I have no idea how this will end investment wise for us all but the recent past makes me really sympathize with Elon and Tesla and I completely understand where his desire to give the short sellers a final third degree burn that will give them some permanent scars stems from.

Everyone understands where the desire comes from. A better man would ignore those desires, and just do his job.

True,
Ponder this:
if this was your Best Friend, would you just stand by while he is beaten down and malaligned in this manner?

If we do, it's a clear sign of market manipulation!

Interesting twitter conversation from Andrea James about the NYT interview. She thinks it will "prove wise in the long run."

nyway... aftermarket is down a touch more... think we'll break under 300 tomorrow?

Tomorrow ? I'm hoping to take a break from all this tomorrow. We definitely don't want the market to be open on weekends

Yeah. I have no doubt that he's a bit on the autism spectrum and has trouble reading other people's intents and feelings.

Quite a few successful CEOs are that way - Gates, Jobs et al.

Elon Musk: Managing the Weight of Success | Loup Ventures

• TSLA is down ~8% following an NYTimes article about Elon Musk.
• Investors are likely most concerned about Musk’s overall mindset and burn out in addition to the use of Ambien and possibly other drugs. The article is an interesting insight into the mental toll of building multiple businesses that fundamentally change the world.
• While concerns about Musk’s stability aren’t surprising given the article, we believe it could be a turning point for Musk to get some help and help himself, which will be a net positive to the companies he’s building.
• Double down to Elon: Erase Twitter.

 

[Rammstein]

Maybe this has been mentioned by now I'm thinking Elon was acting hysterical on purpose. That would sink the stock and keep the offer of 420 look attractive. Genius if that's true.

Here's hoping TT has survived this precipitous drop. He got creamed once before. TT if you are listening, you do not have to get wealthy in one shot. You are young. Patience Grasshopper.

Haha, easy for me to forget (I was off work today, so I lost track of the days )
