TSLA the next leg up

I agree with you wholeheartedly! There's plenty of stocks to chase hitting highs with tons of new sponsorship. TSLA had a day of consolidation, I like it when we do take a day or two rebuilding and cleaning out the next leg of shareholders and short sellers reloading their positions.


Have you taken a look at YHOO and the almost all "Buy Orders" pushing her up from $28.6 before our CEO started to talk about all the good things happening with Yahoo. I think we are heading to $40 by January 2014, the buying is crazy like Facebook was when Facebook released earnings.
 
This must be the reason for the 6% drop today.

Yup that's the reason. Gave back half my profits on TSLA today *sniff*
 
...making a notice for a new trade idea:
Buy a Tesla car, short the hell out of the stock and then set fire to the batteries or short circuit them.
BTW: There are also batterie powered sailplanes. A friend of mine uses one (Antares) and had an accident on the rode. The plane in the trailer set fire immediatly due to the damaged batteries. I don't know however if Tesla uses the same.
 
They just puked out @ $169

Now can go to $220

With insiders owning 33% of the float and huge short interest for no reason other than "valuation"... this thing is gonna pop up soon

Here's a quote from Briefing Trader

"Tesla Motors: As a head up, fire department story making the rounds that TSLA was not at fault (171.08 -9.98)" Briefing.com



Elite Trade must have a few engineers besides having a bunch finance gurus, what do you make of the battery incident?


Robert Baird's guy is trying to make himself known as the next Elaine Garzarelli of Tesla Motors. Someone has to make the down-call, we don't have very many hot traders like Meredith Whitney anymore do we? What happens to her hedge fund, life is so cruel to the show men of Wall Street like Joe Granville, Howard Ruff, Elaine M. Garzarelli and Meredith Whitney while Jim Cramer can't do no wrong, Cramer can say anything and his audience is not smart enough to remember what this guy said!


Good Luck with TSLA, stay safe!

Rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries are prone to exploding without a VERY good regulation of charge buildup. The fact that a road object was enough to spark a fire/explosion is obviously not a very good argument from a safety/robustness point of view. From a marketing point of view; one only needs to be reminded of Pinto, to get a sense of how much of a PR disaster it could pose. Knowing Musk's penchant for perfection, however, I'm sure he has engineers all over it and I would expect to see a response with fixes -- fast. Hopefully, readers realize he also has engineers working on SpaceCraft, so they are very good at robustness and QC considerations.

With regards to the market response, well... I wouldn't be surprised to see a upgrades come with any response about a cause, fix, and (maybe) recalls.
If another incident happened in the near future... think Pinto.. then perish the thought.
 
Another S1 caught fire... after going through a block wall. The driver was able to run away after that.

This kind of news about TSLA's catching fire isn't offputting to people that appreciate the car. They don't burn the drivers, they catch fire, the driver can pull over and get out... It might affect the stock price because traders [oops, I meant investors] are overreacting types. It won't affect the fundamentals, sales, all that... I'm pretty sure that GM and all that backward mess with the inferior products will be doing what everybody that is tbtf does when competition comes along: bad PR, sic some politicians and regulators on them, etc.. It's a struggle that TSLA has to do a little uphill work against, but for them, I'm thinking it's no biggie.
