Reading an article that is incredibly bullish on TSLA's earnings that come out May 2nd and anticipates Elon revising up this year's loss per share to $-1.63 from $-2.87 for 2017 AND next years earnings to aPOSITIVE$2.41 a share in profit. Those numbers seem unfathomable when taking into account the companies debt load(servicing), revenue, and past performance.

I am trying to decide if Musk is going to make the numbers work, or if tooling the factory will prove to be too expensive to hide. When Ford shifted its truck production to aluminum bodies they took something like a 2 billion dollar hit to change out their lines. People with TSLA positions or watching closely are you anticipating a big miss in May or do you think shares will spike post earnings? I think my plan is to start a position similar to Slamt's at the end of April and build it up through May/June. The market at large is due for a short/small correction anyway which could cut significantly into TSLA's market capitalization, but I think it is going to take some disappointing model 3 numbers to really shake the leaves outta the tree. I can see a huge spike on news/rumors of decent sales numbers of the model 3 and an epic tank when people see how little profit there is to be had selling electric cars. Perhaps I am wrong though.

Also I can't wait to see the stress lots of people having electric cars puts on our ancient power grids. I'd love to invest in a company that does the power grid chit. Meanwhile I am well positioned to cash in on low fuel prices thanks to lower demand and high truck volume.

EDIT: Jun16 puts look legit. 235-230 strike aren't terribly expensive, and looking at the charts I think it could be reasonable to see a 30% pull back depending on sentiment and of course the market at large. If you look at the last 3 years usually a big peak and a big bottom are separated by 2 months. Just gotta nail the timing

You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told you're a god or a total bastard. The iron always kicks you the real deal. It's the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. I have found it to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But 200 pounds is always 200 pounds.

Sounds good. At 30 percent pullback I might pick some up.

Unlike ford the people that buy teslas can actually afford it.

Me too, would definitely look at a few regional utility/energy guys like DUK and XEL. If CHK can manage to survive up to that point, with their current stock price...oh lawd.

As someone who only shops on Amazon for things I either cannot get at a brick & mortar, or can get it much cheaper online, I kind of agree. But that might just be me. For things like clothes I'll almost never go on Amazon, I'm too impatient to wait for shipping unless the Retail Deathstar w/ drones becomes a reality.

Got in this morning at the 235 strike for 2.10 each. I think the last bit of news today will be it for awhile. Buy the rumor sell the earnings

the guy above mentioned tesla which got me thinking about elon musk... in the sense that i've heard of him, know what he looks like and sort of what he has done. however, watched a couple of videos on the guy and his journey seems incredible - very noble. what a guy. not that i think tesla would be a good investment from what little i do know about stocks and shares. although if he was raising money for another company he was CEO of, it would definitely grab my attention.

thanks fellas.

you can find a pdf online if you look hard enough
