Right. How accurate are the numbers from IB ?

Down by the Beverly Center? Oh yeah. Go west a few miles and it drops about a dollar. CA taxes for you. SO GLAD I LEFT in 2006!Holy crap is gas really that expensive in LA right now?!
large, unexpected, share buyback programLet's face it: The shorts have endless pockets and no interest in profit. They just want to harm Tesla.
What could be the end of this game then? How could the shorts be stopped?

Profit over time....
Ok. I was thinking using cash to pay off unsecured creditors early would reduce the Borrowing Base (and irritate the secured creditors.) IMO, the idea that an early, gratuitous repayment would impress the Market and juice the share price is fatuous. A higher share price helps primarily when Tesla is doing an equity raise. Tesla has far more productive uses of that $920 million over the next five monthsI don't think it would be a preference (presumably the BoD is not anticipating a near-term bankruptcy) and as I recall the minimum cash requirement triggers off, inter alia, current debt, so it shouldn't hit that either.
It's the only way (apart from privatization, and we saw how that went). Simultaneously kills the bankruptcy argument and makes it much easier to borrow to fund expansion.
Just don't expect a single profitable quarter to do the trick.
But it is going to be a long, slow process. Look how long people have KNOWN cigarette smoking causes cancer and still keep on smoking. These are the people you expect to quit their ICE habits overnight? Yeah, uh huh

Hmmmm.....I see a $3 gain in AH
Where do you see a dip - looks like it closed at 304, up from the normal hours close.
The treatment of the workers by the subcontractor was really bad. So, not surprised.
I guess these old eyes (or mind) betrayed me. I swear that I saw a dip.What dip? I hardly see anything here that counts as a dip in that time period (5:55PM PT).
Other than the independence and 45 day replacement requirements, has there been any specific conditions set by the SEC on the candidate profile or selection process? I.e. Would a slate of candidates have to be screened by the SEC or any other similar (and over reaching) restriction?[/QUOTE]
I'm curious about this as well. IF the SEC was bowing to outside influences how much of a leash do they expect to have?
I'm sure they are accurate but the issue is it is only their own inventory that they are reporting. So we have no idea how many shares are available elsewhere. So the fee rate is a better indication of overall short interest.Right. How accurate are the numbers from IB ?
BTW., beyond moving the goalposts note the sleight of hand shorts are performing there as well: the real financial metric to look for is what led to Amazon's meteoric rise: which is not profits but cash generation ability.
And that's going to be a huge story in Q3: over 1 billion dollars of cash generated, ~$600m of that invested into payments for Model 3 lines, the rest positive cash flow in the $600m-$700m range:
Duffer, I think it did dip after the close yesterday, maybe .52 cents or do. But by the time you posted stock had moved up in AH.I guess these old eyes (or mind) betrayed me. I swear that I saw a dip.
One thing concerns me, iirc tsla diverted some of the battery lines originally devoted to power pack/wall to model 3 to keep the production pace. But panasonic is only installing three more lines in GF1, presumably for model 3. Whey aren't they installing 2 more for power pack/wall?
