Pretty sure if you thought about it for half a second you could answer that question yourself

So he stole negative money from me?

Create a cult, pump the stock on lies and dilute. No need to make any profit when shareholders will gladly bend over.

Maybe in a few years when FSD is still 'a year away' and the stock is trading at $200 people will realize they've been had.

Probably not though, there will be something new that is 1-2 years away thats the next big thing. Musk will convince everyone that FSD isn't cool anymore.

Cool story bro. Burned your hand shorting it or something?

Is that all you can say?

Atleast try to use your brain

Some of these trolls, like you, have been going on and on and on with the same "boohoo it's all a fraud this and that and this and that", so you might not want to ask that question. It's just the braindead stuff all over and you seem to be furry mad about it too.

It's not *all* a fraud.

Enron was a hugely successful energy and other services business with billions in assets. And fraud on top.
Madoff was a highly successful founding member of Nasdaq/inventor of computer algorithmic trading/had a successful fund. With a giant Ponzi festering on the side.
Crazy Eddie was a highly successful mobile phone selling store chain with a national presence. With fraud on top.
Worldcom had $100 billion in assets and a large thriving business. With fraud on top
Theranos was a legitimate testing services business doing good volume with major pharmacy chains. With a core claim - pinprick blood testing - that was a fraud.

It's pretty simple: Legit businesses that are unimpressive, need lots of capital, can't make ends meets legitimately (like, say, a massively money losing electric car business that needs $25K net loss per car to make the product sexy/sporty enough to be noticable in the market), has an aggressive founder who views it as a game, etc, often go to fraud out of pure necessity.

It's not either/or. Musk can be both ballsy entrepreneur who pushes risk and had some big wins AND be a giant fraud on his FSD claims or 2017 Model 3 production or battery swap claims or Solarcity acquisition or any number of other things. In fact, being a successful entrepreneur and being a fraud tend to go hand in hand if you're in shady government subsidy "green" businesses. Add in a "world saving" narrative and the odds are even higher. Have you ever seen the financials of most environmental charities?

Tesla down 6% to $733 (25% off highs) on January new car registration in China down 46%. January. Before the coronavirus. What happened to the Tesla the fraudster's (pure fraud) claim that they were delivering China-made Model 3 back in December and making 1000/week at the end of December and quickly ramping to 3000/week? Where did those cars go? Shutdowns didn't happen until late Jan and China sales were low enough you sure as heck should have seen 1000/week boost numbers.

Imagine what Feburary looks like with car sales down 93% across China.

It just shows how many irrational idiots are long this stock if it drops 6% on this news. They were actually buying it up near highs/holding just a week ago with the complete certainty of China sales being in the toilet

This is awesome. You sold out right at the top 23% ago and managed $920 funding secured. That's amazing.

I just hope you keep posting if this goes back down to the 200 level.

Let's see if we can make this a 20 bagger.

Keep in mind that there is a non-trivial chance that Tesla has to restate earnings and add $1.6 billion to their 2019 CAPEX due to the subpoena in the 10-K. That should be a good time.

Wow man, what a score.

Aged like milk in a few hours

every bull is going to say this, they dont want to say $960, because that is clearly a lie, so they shave off ~5% to make it more believable

nice one

Any sale posted in real time I believe. Literally every other bull in this thread was too dumb to sell and have taken a 30% haircut now. And they won't sell now either because Musk is Magic or the shorts win if they do. Musk has done a real number on them.

Thanks! It hit like 22x but I closed it out at 11.5x. Some chatter going around rate cuts...might see a general bounce in spooz here that'll carry TSLA a bit, but I will 100% not be surprised if it closes tomorrow at 700 on the dot similar to the past two weeks.

Nevermind, didn't notice the uptick rule got triggered so we would need actual organic selling to hit 700, which of course isn't impossible.

Didn't TESLA force their employees back to work couple weeks ago? probably a terrible idea in hindsight. People in China should probably be staying home.

Thoughts on if we are in the 'return to 'normal'' phase of this bubble now please? Temporary quelling of coronavirus panic, post-Elon is a genius leading us to the promised land media frenzy, pre Q1 earnings car-crash... Are we ramping up towards an imminent cliff edge now if/once these perceptions correct, or will more freshly printed money just keep a-flowing in through a crisis and TSLA be viewed as a flight to safety stock allowing Elon to ride it out again?

What's up?

The "stock price bro". Why else would a troll like you be posting

I have my eye on $400 Jan 2021s at 28.50 right now. It's as much a play on the broad market not pricing in Corona fallout as it is against TSLA's kevlar bubble bursting. I remember TS saying Q1 is going to be dreadful, so there's some catalyst, but I also think it's too easy for TSLA bulls to brush off an awful Q1 by saying it was because of Corona and therefore isn't a big deal.

Does anyone think there's more value in shorter-dated puts, or a higher/lower strike?

I opened a Robinhood account. Going to deposit $1000 and buy whatever Jan 2021 call @ 1150 I can buy with ~$1000. Had to clear with my employer that's kosher (thankfully TSLA isn't a client)

I actually don't expect to do well (I am treating this $1000 pretty much the same way I treated what I betted on Butler to win it all years ago) but the potential troll value in this thread is amazing and the amount of money involved is relatively small.
