Re: Tesla Motors
+50% since I bought, absolutely insane. I don’t see it ending well. Normally when stocks go vertical like this it is a matter of time to see the reverse happen.

Re: Tesla Motors
I mean, who thinks they’re really worth more than Volkswagen. What a joke.

Tesla gets subsidies. Does Trump want them losing to China?

In a more general sense, I wish electric car companies all the best. I'm hoping that I currently own my last gas-powered car.
You there, Ephialtes. May you live forever.

Tesla jumps 19.9%, biggest one-day gain in 6 years...

This stock no longer inhabits the same plane of reality that I live in.

Re: Tesla Motors
Feels like dotcom stuff. No sane way they are valued here. Hope people have the sense at some point to take profits.
Tesla and Amazon have been talked about for years as great shorts, can't be sustained, etc. But they certainly have sustained long enough to put many shorts in the poor house.
Another reason I will never own an individual stock. Always ends in tears. Falls, and can't sell, or rises and get out too early. Rarely was satisfying.

Re: Tesla Motors
Can someone explain this to me please? Irrational exuberance? This company by all measures is not worth this valuation.

Re: Tesla Motors
Looks like a combination of irrational exuberance and a classic short squeeze. Tesla has been one of the more heavily shorted stocks for a while and the recent run up has absolutely murdered the shorts. So there has been a scramble to "cover" their positions before they loose even more money. Which in turn is adding gasoline to the fire. Tesla is one of the most over valued stocks I've seen in a while. I am guessing no one here owns any but if any one does; I'd be pounding the "sell" button with a baseball bat.

Re: Tesla Motors
Must be more than that, Jon. They were talking about it all morning on CNBC with some old guy saying that it’s going to go up further. It really does seem crazy, this valuation.
At some point, the talking heads were asking, “What if he can actually make the cars?” The word ‘fraud’ is no longer used and some of the initial criticisms have melted away.
I don’t own it, so I want to see it crash as soon as possible. A friend of mine ordered the cybertruck, though.

Re: Tesla Motors
A trading system I run put me in TSLA in January and as of tonight up 100% exactly. Sold half Monday. It’s nice to get lucky every once in a while.
Re: Tesla Motors
Thanks, closed my position at the open today. Time will tell if it was a good decision...as the saying goes, better to be lucky than good, and luck it was.

Re: Tesla Motors
For years I have consistently said it was overpriced... and it just keeps going up. And I still wouldn't touch it. Now at least there is one person who agrees with me.

Re: Tesla Motors
I think the real question is why does one care if it is over valued (even grossly so)?
If you are a value investor, then it has probably been a company you've never invested in.
If you are an index holder then you should remember you are buying a methodology not X# of stocks.
If you are a momentum investor you enjoy the ride up and know that you will be giving some of your profits back whenever TSLA falls out of favor.
I'm in the last camp and loving every minute of the ride, but one day it will come to an end most assuredly. Makes no difference to me if TSLA is overvalued or not and unless you are a value investor you should not care and if you are a value investor you should not be in TSLA.

Well hold on, Pug. Did he say the new cars had to be electric?MangoMan wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 11:42 am CA Gov Newsom signed an executive order requiring no new gasoline cars to be sold after 2035. Good news for TSLA. Bad news for CA's already overtaxed electrical grid. I just don't see how PG&E is going to power all these electric vehicles when they can't even keep the lights on now.

Re: Tesla Motors
I agree with you, too, but instead of calling Andrew Wheeler (of the EPA) ‘the government’, call him Vice Pres of the Washington Coal Club.

I'm in the last camp with you, and the air is definitely getting thin up here, but the colors are so vivid, man.
Ludicrous in a good way.
Re: Tesla Motors
It has been an amazing (good) year for momo.
TSLA, ZM, NVDA, JD...quite amazing. PDD is new for me but it is already up crazy since I bought it.
My particular form of momentum investing/trading rebalances monthly so I've sold off a fair amount of all of them on the way up.
These things come to an end however, they always do.
