Funny thoughts: I was listening to a podcast ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSR-83b2DXQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSR-83b2DXQ)) and at one point, they mentionned that if Musk was that smart, he could do a small secondary offering, like 5%-10% and buy the whole Fiat Chrysler with the proceedings. Then he would already have some factories. Of course they were joking but if you think about it, if that could be pulled up, Tesla would at least have some earnings !

It would work: the RH traders would think that Papa Elon is printing money for them and rush for the new shares!

He could issue new shares and buy ANY company. They won’t necessary have factories but at least the earnings would go up, and so might the valorisation.

Bumping this thread as today the stock split takes effect.

Anyone buying the stock at the split price? 🤔

I am going to probably invest 1 months savings into the stock and take any further actions only after Battery Day on 22-Sep.

Only 1T ?! I think rather 1Q !

Edit: at this pace (+12% today), 2.2Q at year end!

Post-close the stock went up another 3% O.o Are those the S&P500 index trackers now buying TSLA to reach target allocation? At this point I think battery day is already priced in and if they don’t present the million miles battery who knows what happens.

…then it will be the million robotaxis story again 😂.

What will stop the rise is a shortage of new buyers. You never know exactly when…  
Did you raise your Stop Loss ? …

I probably should… IBKR posts TSLA at 524$ right now. Almost 11.5k unrealized profit so far.

Was Tesla actually added to the S&P500 already? Unlike other many indices, there’s a selection committee and they don’t follow a strict ruleset. They don’t have to add TSLA ever if they don’t want to.

Oh man if I wanted to invest only in companies that I respect, I’d not be able to invest in any of them, especially in the American cronies sucking taxpayers money, from which Musk’s companies are the worst suckers of all.
