  • The Dark Side Of Tesla's Masterful Short Squeeze [View article]
    All of Mr. Petersen's calculations, while of merit, do not and cannot take into account game-changing events such as 1000 mile batteries, 2-minute charge capacities, faster roll out of Gen III, etc., etc., - it's always a comparison between the bean counters and the visionaries and techno-wizards. One group looks to the past to make statements about the future; the other makes the future.

    Viewed in this light, Mr. Petersen's take on the world can, at best, only be incomplete.

  • Tesla's Glory Days Will Be Few As Bigger Competitors Are Already Catching Up [View article]
    There will undoubtedly be competition as the move to electric speeds up. But the difference is that for traditional car companies the move to electric will be reluctant, forced upon them by ever more stringent government mandates. This will mean that Tesla, with its visionary leader, silicone valley heritage, and freedom from traditional car company thinking, will always be one step ahead of everyone else. Its patents will keep competitors at bay for the foreseeable future and advances in graphene battery technology and ultra capacitors/battery hybrids will mean that battery concerns will soon be a thing of the past. In my 40 years investing, I have never seen a more promising future for any company.

  • Long And Bumpy Road Ahead For Tesla [View article]
    Wait till the S coupe comes out. Wait till the AWD S comes out. Wait till the 500 mile charge battery comes out. Wait till the X outsells the S three to one. You won't have to wait long.

  • For those still keeping score, Tesla (TSLA) added another 14.38% to last week's post-earnings bonanza , bringing the three-day total percentage change to +57%. Amusingly, the rally didn't let up AH either, as the stock tacked on an additional 2.51%, hitting $90 just before 8 p.m. [View news story]
    In the fullness of time we will all come to appreciate that we are watching the electric car revolution unfold before our very eyes. A naturalized American, of South African decent, had a vision for the betterment of the world and the genius to make it happen.

  • Tesla's '5 Part Trilogy' Grand Finale - All Signs Point To Battery Swapping Or Faster Charging [View article]
    An excellent review by Galileo. My vote is for a high density ultra cap in the frunk coupled with the current lithium ion battery. The frunk is closer to the nose that the battery.

    An insubstantial position indicative of a cerebral vacuity.

  • Tesla Has No Threats... For Now [View article]
    A 500 mile range is therefore not out of the question in the near future. Either that, or a 300 mile range using a cheaper, smaller and lighter battery.

  • Has The Future Changed That Much For Tesla Motors? [View article]
    I purchased apple at 26. Then stayed with it during cycles where the price, after rising substantially, dropped by half. This happened several times, as I recall. And each time, I viewed it as a buying opportunity. The reason: only one, Steve Jobs, the visionary. Ergo, the only reason for staying long term with Tesla is Elon Musk. Be prepared for drops. If they don't happen, good for you. If you stop out, be prepared to go back in. If the stock drops substantially and you have no stops, buy back in, laddering your purchases. Ultimately, speculation on profitability rests on the shoulders of the CEO, and those appear to be very capable shoulders.

    Any substantial drops are excellent buying opportunities.

    New hoards of investors are clearly rushing to enter on any sign of weakness.

    Continued revolutionary announcements by Musk, however, will tend to keep the stock price up. For example, the use of an ultra capacitor to reduce charge times substantially and, coupled with a more efficient use of regenerative braking, to extend mileage substantially, will deal with the major issues central to all electric vehicles.

    This will cause the price of the stock to explode.

  • Tesla Squeaks Out A First Ever Profit With The Help Of A DOE Stock Warrant, What's Next? [View article]
    The author of this 'article' hasn't got a clue as to what the true potential of this car company is. He is as clueless as the so-called analysis's who missed Q1 earnings by a mile.

  • Goldman Sachs downshifts on Tesla Motors (TSLA), taking the red-hot automaker down to Neutral with a $61 price target on valuation concerns. Yesterday's Q1 report (I, II) from Tesla showed better-than-expected margins along with sales and production numbers that were on track to help the company meet or beat its full-year forecasts. Goldman's call is far from the ruling the day, TSLA +17.2% premarket to $65.32. [View news story]
    Visionary companies can only appear in hindsight to those who core mantra is risk management. Thus GS, by definition, cannot catch the wave.
