Comments
TSLA always pulls back on ER, shedding 15% is overreactive. ER was great if it was any other company. I bought 200 on the way down and at $262 I’ll be grabbing some more tomorrow if it continues down.
What not to like is that TSLA will be bleeding cash on futuristic projects while its Operating Income/Margins will continue to shrink. Competition will not stand by idly and cede its market share.
Tesla basically beat in every category and like always it goes down the day earnings are posted or the day after earnings and then it will start going back up. I see Tesla going to the 350 area very soon.
So I invested quite a lot of money in this before the earnings. Was hoping it would at least cross 300 dollars. My average price was around 292. Now i am kind of screwed. How do y’all think the price will fluctuate within the next few days.
Tesla is selling off tomorrow because QQQ is rebalancing. Buy the dip five to ten minutes before the close.
