"Neko no me"
With today's Close, Microsoft (MFST) becomes the new largest Company by equity listed on the NASDAQ-100, with $826B market cap.
APPL and AMZN are 2nd-3rd, with $805B vs $802B respectively.
MSFT has better weathered the Fall selloff, down only 9% since Sep 4, vs -20% for AMZN, and --26% for APPL.
However all three big cap tech stocks were up sharply today. So is Santa Clause finally starting his run? And will they take TSLA along for a sleigh ride to a new ATH?
Cheers!

I have a large long position in TSLA (mostly stock and 10% LEAPs). I sell a relatively small number of OTM weekly puts and calls every week as the stock goes to (what appears to me to be) local highs and lows. I find this is the easiest and safest way to make short-term money because even if I am wrong, I have to be very wrong to end up red, and even if I am, any losses are usually offset by gains on the other end of things. Plus I can always roll losing positions to the following week (although I haven’t had to at all the last 6 weeks or so).
Did the Fremont tent get taken down recently? That would date at least part of the 60 Minutes interview.

He's not the only one looking to break free from $390. This analyst suggest that could trigger a runup into the 500s:
If Tesla can break this level, a short squeeze could deliver 45 percent rally: Piper Jaffray
Cheers!
I follow Supercharger network count closely. But on the Tesla website.
The number has stuck at current level, 1375 and 11414 for a while. Where did you see the progress being rapid?
Thanks.
That second guy was a bit of a putz wasn't he?

Not the Sprung Structure that houses GA4, the new Model 3 line.
There was another smaller tent taken down last month, Shortie Airfarce wet their pants.
Cheers!

Thanks for sharing that. The analyst to whom you refer is Craig Johnson of Piper Jaffray. He was a regular guest on my TV show, and continues to send me complementary copies of his weekly newsletter and monthly deep research.
On Monday, January 28, 2013 Craig in his newsletter recommended TSLA based on his technical analysis. I was unfamiliar with the company and its products. I researched the company and Musk. I appreciate the technicals, but need to know more if I am going to invest heavily. After that I considered the possibility that I may have been pointed toward my long sought ten-bagger.
Over the next four days I bought more and more of TSLA shares at an average of $38 each. They're now close to being that ten-bagger. Thank you Craig. The other analyst in that segment admits he is confused by his fundamental evaluations. At least to his credit he stands aside and refrains from selling short.

To be fair there were a few Model S fires early on.Jaguar I-Pace caught fire in the Netherlands while parked:
Een kudtkoekiewall. Omdat dat moet, van de kudtkoekiewet.
They just started delivering the things, have under 5k on the roads... and one already caught on fire? Seriously?
We're still awaiting the first fire in a consumer Model 3.
Hopefully it was just vandalism... somehow, I really doubt that, though. Jaguar is investigating.

I would like to make a distinction between “believing in the mission” and “believing the mission will succeed”. There are tons of companies out there working for good, trying to make a better, cleaner, more efficient and less polluted tomorrow. and if I were a better person, I’d invest in them all. I hope they all succeed.
But the truth is I’m so heavily invested in Tesla not just because I WANT the future they are trying to build — it’s because I believe they are phenomenally well positioned to actually succeed: their product is immensely compelling, and blows away its current competitors. Its trajectory is one of constant innovation. It’s positioned itself astoundingly well in terms of vertical integration and various competitive motes. Anyone else in its industry would kill for its ability to attract excitement, interest and hype. It’s CEO is utterly committed to setting and achieving insanely ambitious goals. It is wildly profitable for the foreseeable future, and growing its revenue by leaps and bounds every quarter.
Only a lunatic would bet against this company right now.

Yes, it's a good example of what commenters have been saying - over the next 4 years new players have to learn all the stuff that Tesla learned over the past four years (about electric cars).

Where have all the shorts that used to provide the entertainment go? I actually enjoyed reading the comebacks that would drive them back into their hole. Reminded me of that Whack-a-Mole game.

If only the media had droned endlessly on, for months on end about end, about every bloody one, without any sense of context about the rate of Tesla fires vs. that of gasoline vehicles, I might have heard about this!
Look at the key 19-49 demo numbers.
Joe Rogan gets similar numbers per episode and is growing with well over a 1000 episodes.
Also look at Marques Brownlee, he’s far, far more popular on per video basis then 60 minutes, crushes them in key demo by millions. Elon broke Brownlee’s record for likes with his interview.
After Elon’s appearance, Rogan gained nearly 1 million new subscribers. Elon also set joe rogan’s like record as well as views record.
These demo numbers are the envy of all companies on planet earth... and Elon achieved them within two interviews.
The return on 60 minutes? The charity Elon gave to 60 minutes for bumping their numbers to survive another week.
My opinion is Elon needs to continue to find great shows on the internet to appear on. Not only can he get more traction with buyers and talent, he can have a good time while at it too.
As I’ve suggested before, he may find it fun to go on the hot sauce show with his kids at their spacex ad astra school. Better yet, do the hot sauce show at the Fremont factory in the cantina with his kids in front of employees.
His kids will laugh, employees will chuckle, and Elon could break news in joyful pain watching the numbers roll in as we accelerate to a sustainable consumption and production world.

I purchased my P85D back in May and it never fails to make me smile. I’ve purchased many luxury/sports cars before this:
370z
2014 435i
2015 Porsche Macan
2016 640i
2016 Porsche Macan (awesome car lol)
2016 BMW i3
2017 Mercedes c43 AMG
2018 BMW M2
And now the Tesla... keep in mind that I am 25 years old. I really don’t understand why I never gave Tesla a chance. Maybe FUD was embedded into my subconscious? No clue.
The purchasing experience was great. Usually when I ask for a test drive at a new dealership they would be hesitant since I’m a young guy. No questions asked they put me in a P100D and let me abuse it. Bought a CPO P85D the next day since the price was irresistible and was basically brand new.
My brother tried to talk me out of it. He had hatred for the brand, saying the quality was crap and range was a lie. Basically almost said he wouldn’t talk to me if I bought one lol.
Anyway, two days after picking up my P85D, he tried to one-up me and bought the new E400 Coupe. I drove him to pick it up, and engaged autopilot. He was clearly impressed but wouldn’t admit it.
Fast forward 6 months later he’s trading in that 2018 E400 and buying a Tesla. He also wants to buy shares in the company. Lol. Do I really need to say more?
One day I’ll regret not buying more shares at $365...
Buying $690 strike 2021 calls in the morning. Basically betting on FSD to be released between now and then.

Looks like TSLA is intent on not being re-caught by Daimler. Now over $6 billion / 10% ahead.
