TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

[MarcusMaximus]

Green again.

That tweet was sent at 9:03 am EST. That's not what moved the Market at 12:00 noon.

Not directly: I expect that it was being picked up by a news service that did it. I haven't followed the tweets myself, but this wouldn't be the first time his tweets moved the markets. Further, the US-China trade relations seems to be consensus (not just talking about this forum) as to the reason for the market movement.

All markets moving at noon -- that is some timing which strongly suggests united action on something quite specific. If it isn't his tweets or news about them I'd be curious what it was.

There was absolutely no volume on that dump. Not enough to dump it $10 in minutes. Manipulation by algos. Thank you man who is an orange. I do like easy money.

 

[printf42]

OT

Lol market maker algos increase bid spread to create an artificial dump! Bought 100 shares at the car wash for 352.99 already up $500+

Since when a carwash would have TSLA in their vending machine?
Wonder how long till gas stations have them too?

 

[Toolsmack]

So now folks are tanking entire markets to keep Tesla under 360?

Hahaha! I was having my car washed at the hand car wash opened up Stocktwits and noticed Tesla was at 353, had a mini heart attack and bought the dip. I’ve seen these midday drops and it always recovers.

Admittedly, the last thing I made (partly) out of titanium was a travel bird cage (which I never actually used), so not everything made out of titanium is actually useful



Haha, just a nerd whose idea of fun reading is peer-reviewed research papers and technical reports And a tinkerer who can't stay focused on one project for very long. To give you an idea: I have an entire room dedicated to exotic tropicals (some of which don't even have scientific names) lit by LED lights and in custom soil mixes. In the corner of the room is a custom-built sound-absorbing box for the vibrating lap that polishes the minerals which I collect on hikes and ID at home with a variety of tests. I'm polishing them to build a custom countertop for my (still early in progress) underground cave house, which uses basalt rebar instead of steel and basalt dust as a pozzolan to replace part of the cement, to increase longevity and decrease environmental impact. I modeled prototypes of the house - for appearance, heat flow, and and in a FEM simulation - to get a sense of what would work before handing them off to my architect and engineer. My compute node these days however is mostly busy with a genetic algorithm optimizing a CFD simulation of an electric ram-arcjet; I first started learning how to work with CFD sims back when writing a book based around an engineering analysis of the colonization of Venus. Which is a bit different from the project I was working on before that, which was welding a custom art-gate for my house out of bent scrap steel tubes which has my name and the name of my land in Old Icelandic runes. I had recently been messing around a bit with stellar isochrone modeling and quantum chemistry sims recently for a project I've had at the back of my mind for ages for doing whole-planet CFD and geochemistry sims, but I've decided to put it on hold for a NFC data system for a biodome project I'm involved in.

Like I said: nerd.

So if Elon no longer wants the "real life Tony Stark" title, we have another contender.

Pretty much all yesterday's gains made by the stocks given up today, with one exception...

 

[Svetlin]

goodcarbadcar.net is out with their estimate for Model 3 sales in November: 17500, which is exactly the same as their and InsideEV's estimate for October.

EDIT: InsideEV's estimate for October was 17750, thanks for the correction.

EDIT 2: goodcarbadcar.net just changed their estimate to 17,750 for both October and November. I'm starting to think they will change their November estimate again after InsideEvs publishes theirs. I'll shut up now.

Apple doesn't manufacture anything. Try Foxconn instead.

Wrong. Foxconn "assembles" what and how Apple tells them to.

All this Apple hate is misplaced .... the quality of their products is unrivaled along with customer satisfaction ... And they do this in a scale that Tesla can only imagine at this point.

Easy to hate them since they are a premium priced product that changed the entire landscape for products they produce .... surprising more people don't embrace them on this forum as I see Tesla in the same way ... that's why my money is on both!

Cheers to the longs

Actually InsideEVs October number is: 17,750.

 

[gtrplyr1]

All this drama in the market today ... did I miss the Nov Model 3 number?? The 17,750 is just an estimate

OT :

This is the weirdest thing. The guy who made a name on TV saying "you are fired" - in real life is very reluctant to confront people face to face. All the people in his campaign and administration he has fired, were done through others. He even asked Don Jr to escort Lewandowsky out of the building.

Wrong. Foxconn "assembles" what and how Apple tells them to.

Well that kind of sounds right, Foxconn being the manufacturer for Apple. No Apple hate here, I own stock in Apple because I can see the market for their brand and products, I don't however personally use those products because I don't see the value.

In this thread: TDS, titanium, and Apple

What this thread advertises: TSLA Market Action

Oh well, at least I learned more about titanium. Apple is overpriced and a *sugar* company that removes features from their product so they can sell overpriced dongles. Trump sucks. So did every other candidate. But, you know, ORANGE MAN BAD.

Titanium is pretty cool.

The gap with the NASDAQ has grown to 3.10% as of 10:30 AM PST.

Not off topic. Excellent 6 minutes report about EPA chief Andrew Wheeler. EPA chief worked for climate change skeptic - CNN Video

TDS?

Ti and Apple were both Tesla related discussions, which would both impact the SP.

Even the two posts above proclaiming the Orange one to be a cowardly buffoon is related as it's potentially the source of the bad macros.

 

[neroden]

With the markets closed tomorrow, would that impact the response time for margin call actions? Get a call today, have to fill Thursday?

Someone who's actually dealt with margin calls might know better than I. But if I remember correctly margin calls don't follow market-day rules, they follow "banking day" rules -- you have to deposit your money in the requested number of days whether the market's open or not.
