To me, TSLA right now has:
- Almost certainly a huge investor in China (cough Tencent cough) to fund the next gigafactory.
- Soon to be cash flow positive in upcoming quarters.
- Some of the best selling models in their class and best performance specs.
- What appears to be the beginning of a breakout in its chart.
- Very high level of short interest.
- Macros starting to once again picking up where they left off, along with strong economy / gas prices.
The probability of a large rise over the next several weeks is extremely good. Also, a friendly reminder that historically I’ve been quite bearish in TSLA the past year or so, until the fall below 250.
The main risk, and what increasingly appears to be a very small one as each day goes by, is if the model 3 has a huge problem that requires a recall.
The upcoming price levels I’m looking at now are:
- 352, almost a sure bet at this point fairly soon
- 380, its been there before, why not again?
- 420, risky bet, but believable with profitability
- 500, if all the stars align and the hype train keeps it going
Haven’t decided what my move is going to be. I’m thinking I’ll want to stick around for 2018Q4 - 2019Q1 as that should be peak hype with sales and revenue.
I’ll revisit as news and sentiment becomes available.
