TSLA gonna TSLA wow

Was going to buy more before close yesterday but decided to wait for the dip. And now this >:

 

[freakydestroyer]

Still a lot of room for TSLA to run IMO

 

[dathbgboy]

I only have $160 right now to invest with, looking for long gains, what would yall suggest?

 

[mattysecks23]

i'm in on TSLA. lovin it

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Congrats TSLA longs yet again

Y'all seeing bitcoin right now. And SeekingAlpha has the audacity to write that gold is going lower than 770. Noise.

With $160 I suggest researching microcaps with major potential. Or just sitting and stacking that money as you get your feet wet in a virtual game. If you can add cash every week, then market cap doesn't matter as you can make this a core position and you buy dips within the trend.

Wish I would've known about EKSO last week.

Damn...more room to run for tesla?!

Gotdamn TSLA! Wish I caught it at the open

Another GLD up, GDX down day |I

JRS, are you hanging onto FSLR through earnings today? The recent run-up has me kinda iffy.

Yes. Consumed reports released minutes ago their brand report card and tesla won best overall. Still room to run.

Anybody here use Estimize? Their statement:

More accurate than Wall Street 69.5% of the time
The Estimize consensus is more accurate than Wall Street's; it better represents the true expectation of the market.

TheStreet says EPS for FSLR will be 1.00. Estimize consensus says 1.40 :\ Not sure how I feel about them since they're "estimates" from regular Joes.

tsla looks bubblicious to me but its like ive been taking crazy pills

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I've got 400 shares still avg price 56.60, looking to shed another 100-200 shares as this gets over 58 and inches closer to 59. I'm looking to hold 2-300 shares AH for the gamble.

I never listen to the calls but I think I will with this one for the hell of it.

FWIW

@notablecalls
$TSLA - seeing some smart $ guys short Tesla on this Panasonic announce - Samsung would have made a better/stronger JV partner.

@notablecalls
$TSLA - Panasonic = large 2ndary coming. That's their thinking. fyi

he posted that an hour ago.

I would recommend starting a Capital One "ShareBuilder" account. Not sure of your financial situation, but if you think you'll have $150 or so each month to invest - it will automatically deduct it from your checking account. It's like a savings account that lets you buy the stock of your choice each month.

class action lawsuit on Fairway (FWM) damn their stock tanked.

I already have one through Trade King, Im starting to put about 100 into it every month.

Throwing in 10K yesterday for the TSLA 250 Calls that expire this week would've made a mill :x

 

[johnnyredstorm]

It's ridiculous what you can make in options

Peeled off another 100 shares of FSLR that I bought at the 56.40s. Will probably keep the rest for the earnings gamble, unless this runs up another dollar or two into the close.

Hit +500% on my KORS calls today

 

[wizards23]

based mod believe it or not estimize has been on point for earnings estimates, better than paid professionals. I have followed the company from the beginning. I remember when it was in beta testing. The founder is this guy Leigh Drogen (sp?) who also was in on the ground level with stocktwits

Also I was reading in Beyond Fear and Greed that regular joes are more likely to get earnings estimates closer than their paid counterparts. Some short of bias - the exact name slips my mind. I think it goes back to Wall St pros looking out for themselves and their employers. They have ulterior motives

I am not advising anyone to hold through earnings, just food for thought

Huge miss for fslr. GG

Thanks for that. I'm just curious as to how these guys come up with their numbers

 

[johnnyredstorm]

This is why you don't go into reports holding any size. Glad I trimmed, but I should've taken it all off and cashed out. Whatever, can't do anything now.

Yea. I only have a handful of shares. Would've been nice to cash out, but I ain't eem mad. Bought at 50 so I still might come up a smidge. I was a little suspicious when I saw the OI ratio of the options was siding with puts.

What's the move now? I'm planning on unloading at the open. I can see a Groupon-esque slide happening. Sentiment can't be very high right now.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I think it might be a little oversold, but yeah, I'm looking to unload as well. Would prefer to get some rips to sell into, but I ain't trying to deal with this going sub-50.

 

[based mod]

^ Rips would be nice, but I'm not so sure we'll see a spike above the opening price. I just can't see any reason for anyone to put money into this company in the short term. All conjecture of course.

Sideways trading The long upper shadows seen during that stretch is a little off-putting though. Any comments?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

There's analyst day coming up where they'll likely disclose more info but who knows. I like the long term prospects of the company and cost per watt was down a few cents but that report was off putting.

FIO is a decent swing trade boring as can be to day trade usually. Via Scott Redler's twitter:
@RedDogT3Live: I did buy some $fio for a possible day#1 out of a long consolidation. It's a tricky stock. Really needs to clear $11.30ish
