This is a band like scenario. The players need to stand up front and take care of the main event while the tambourine people stand to the side and stay out of the way.
patience - he gave the shorts 3 weeks notice like 2 weeks ago & then did an in your face with GS so play time is limited in his mind
Has anyone put much thought into what will happen to the Tesla market cap when they can no longer increase production? Elon cites 10k cars/week from the Fremont plant. They are at 7k/wk now. What happens when they max max out? It will be 18-24 months before they can get another factory online and that's optimistic. We are looking at 2020 before they can return to scaling production so things are expected to be stable through 2019 and into 2020.
Am working on learning puts/calls in relation to stocks i play & calls look pretty strong in this graph vs puts here but maybe someone that knows more about this can weigh in with their thoughts b/c am still learning how to decipher this info >> http://www.opricot.com/ticker/tsla/optiongraphs
I don't understand the big downswing after the production goal announcement and the new storage contract with pg&e. Maybe people were happier when it was all a dream?
so many games being played here & clearly some of it is related to those living in the dark ages with their "COAL" & not wanting to move into the future with "clean energy" lol >> Analysts feud over Tesla production numbers https://www.cnbc.com/video/2018/07/...-musk-coal-clean-energy-electric-vehicle.html
Days like this are why God invented tall buildings and the devil made sure top floor windows don't open.
I think the answer to my question in post #611 is that EVs are about to be production constrained due to a global lithium supply shortage. Tesla is working to secure a major share of the lithium being produced but we will have to wait for more supply to come online. New supply should be online by 2020, at the latest. This could also explain the soft price support, despite a raft of good news. The new lithium mine near the Gigafactory in Nevada should prove beneficial to the industry and hopefully Tesla. I hope the finite battery production doesn't limit the energy storage division. That division is just as important as the car division.
Found support when marking the LOD's back to the beginning of April. I'm avoiding trading this company though because it's too volatile for my liking, which doesn't mix with my long-term bear stance on Tesla. Until it doesn't take me months to see my next Tesla on the road, I'll be avoiding trading this company.
If we, the people, pulled the plug and stopped government subsidies, incentives, etc., would Tesla survive on supply and demand?
There is a $7500 tax credit you get for buying electric, if that goes away, your next Tesla car becomes more expensive. While we are pulling government subsidies, lets stop giving Exxon $6B in subsidies too, its only fair.
I would usually agree with the libertarian view of letting capitalism work, but its not always the best solution. Letting the free market determine with winners would result in oil companies destroying any possibility of alternative fuels ever catching hold. Money buys you politicians and politicians make the rules. When the rules give Exxon billions in tax subsidies, its your free market at work.
Oil companies will develop alternative fuels before the supply of fossil fuels gets to the point of being non profitable.
