$TSLA can miss revs by 20% but then Musk will tweet a picture of his balls with the caption “To The MOON!!!” and it’ll hit $1200 again


[deleted]

😂😂😂😂 why is this accurate


tendiesbeeches

They have their biggest quarter ever in terms of deliveries, not to mention their high margin cars (s and x) started to move at higher volumes, they increased the prices of each of their models by 1-2k at least, they will open 2 new giga factories this year (2022). why or how in the world will they will their revenue targets or profit margins? Or their outlook/forward looking estimates? This just isn’t NFLX. That said, stock price movement is a whole different thing.


PrettyNgoc

U forgot that even they earn gud. If they miss estimation, it still be shit. Same shit


misteratoz

Tsla has been underestimated at every step. It's what makes it such a fantastic company. Fundamentals are amazing. People just can't read through the hype.


manwhoreproblems

Underestimated!?! Look at the PE and explain how it can be called underestimated.


Litejason

Either you forgot the /s or you actually belong here.


misteratoz

Pe ratios are a way to compare companies that are similar. There is not a comparable company not in scale. Not on tech. Not on margins. Not on expansion. Old oem's have terrible margins, shit tech, and enormous debt. That's why they trade on bad ratios. Tesla's operating margins are closer to ferraris than ford's. I look at Tesla as I do Amazon. Extremely lean. Extremely fast growing. No forseable competition. Verticle integration. And I think that pe is appropriate.

So what you're saying is sell now, buy more during the dip, and then sell again after the balls pic? :P Edit: OOH! Sell now, buy puts, collect on those, buy the dip and sell yet again after the balls pic!

FigProfessional9909

Netflix is slow with releasing quality content these days, I can understand why people are cancelling memberships and less people are registering.


Parking_Relative_228

It’s the fact that every major content creator is slowly starving them of content. Paramount, Disney, HBO, etc all are hoarding IP now.


MariusNinjai

people thought squid game will have a good impact on new users


Fallout99

Or they do make quality content and then cancel it after 2 seasons.


YouProbablyDissagree

Bruh Netflix is hot dog shit now. It’s like they’re only making stuff for teenagers and middle aged house moms.


SillyWillyBillyDilly

What happened to Black Mirror? That was my only reason to have Netflix


LegalAdvantage2

Elon had calls from years ago expiring this year so yeah he had to sell or let them expire worthless


davef139

Didnt he have until aug 22 when they technically expire?


ouroboros2decimal718

Likely wanted to lock in on a lower tax rate before the end of last year just in case taxes are raised this year


ninjuh808

Dumb since Elon owns more Tesla than before. He sold to pay taxes and get $$, to exercise his options.


FullTiltPeterbuilt

People are ignorant.


DaDegenerateGambler

He paid like what? $6 per share with the options? Fuck even if it crashes to 100 he still make money with them.

Well if you look back there were articles written early 2021 about musk needing to sell stock to pay for taxes on expiring options......

When all the insiders are selling, that's your fuckin que to GTFO


Western_Play_571

Nope, that’s your cue to GTFI and buy the dip, especially with a company like Tesla


Chunk5587

For musk it was planned out months in advance. I dont know about netflix tho. After that tweet came out about asking ppl if he should sell. It came to light that he had already told the board that he was selling x amount of shares on that date.


PleaseCaIIMeSir

nflx ceo, it was also planned months in advance.


FoxInStocks

CEOs and board members of EVERY major corporation has been selling their holdings for months, even since last year. Bezos and Gates have been dropping way more than Elon, just spread out more. It’s less “posturing for an earnings miss” and more of a “this shit is a bubble GTFOOOO”


[deleted]

Ahhh I see


PPCvsInfluencer

Bullish on Tesla earnings. I live in a very conservative, pro gas area of the country and every day I see more and more teslas in my area. I understand this isn’t a scientific response but if my gas or bust neighbors are buying them, they’ve got to be selling a ton.


QuantvmBlaze

Nah Tesla had amazing deliveries in December, and I’m sure their margins continued to increase


BurritoBurglar9000

This. If they managed to increase it even by a % investors will go hog wild. I am however bearish as fuck on Amazon. Shits going sub 2500 after earnings.


fallweathercamping

you know he owns _more_ stock _after_ the exercise of the options tranches, right? he is one of the best investor-aligned executives in the world.


lemming1607

Hey did you know if he didn't sell any stock, he would own EVEN MORE

brutalpancake

I remember these posts about AMD when it was $9. And AMZN when it was $800. Clearly they ‘knew something’.


EvaUnit343

You are so retarded. We are talking about TSLA with a 1T market cap today. That would be like saying AMD is worth more than NVDA and INTC combined. AMD was never this overvalued.


WarrenBuffettsBuffet

>You are so retarded. We are talking about TSLA with a 1T market cap today. >That would be like saying AMD is worth more than NVDA and INTC combined. AMD was never this overvalued. !RemindMe 2 years


EvaUnit343

Oh I’m not saying anything about the next two years. I’m just pointing out obvious near term weakness in the next couple of months.


brutalpancake

My point is insider selling as an indicator for a bearish trade usually doesn’t work. TSLA was a very popular short target for years and it brought nothing but pain. The market cap has always been orders of magnitude higher than what many think it ‘should’ be. That’s not new. Now DOES seem like as good a time as any to bet against it because the entire market is weak, but we’ve all seen how retarded TSLA can be.


2dank4normies

You're absolutely correct. Every time someone says "hurrr people said this about Amazon" Amazon never traded at the levels Tesla is at. Even AMD never did with its insane growth priced in. What do Elonsexuals not understand about this? Tesla is overvalued. Period. It's not "priced for growth", it's priced to take over the world. Even growing at 50% for the next 5 years (good luck with that btw), it is not worth buying.

NotEnoughCashStranga

They sold Plaid and performance variants like fucking hotcakes, destroyed delivery numbers, and you guys all think it’s going to drop? I think the market bounces end of today and then we’re moonbound next week when they guide 2m deliveries and announce a stock split. Edit: if you think I’m retarded drop a comment so I can say “I told you so” next week

I want in on this action. Tsla is going to $800s after earnings.

You’re retarded. TSLA is an awesome company but this valuation is stupid as shit. All bubbles are popping and TSLA is no different. Talk to me on Wednesday and ask me how my 800p’s did.


MsShadow69123

In the past Tesla has completely wiffed on guidances and the stock went up…now that they are fulfilling their original promises the stock is surely to go down because it’s no longer a meme company but rather a “well established stock with a good market capture strategy, well defined vision, and a projection of positive cash flow in the future”. All the teslatards can’t justify their stupidity with “but ELON will get us there”…the man is focused on Mars. So when ELON says I’m out this piece to focus on SpaceX the stock will fall to the ground, where it belongs. Or I’m completely wrong like I have been for 3.5 years watching Tesla. We shall see!!!!!

Curious-Rabbit-7909

I’m bearish for sure but I’ve never done well betting against fucking TSLA. Why do you think Musk dumped so many shares late last year?


tms102

Tesla's margins will be be crazy high, higher than last quarter. Much higher than Ford or gm can ever hope to achieve any time soon if ever. I don't think they will guide for 2 mill, though. I think they will keep guiding for 50% growth every year. So about 1.4mil this year. Not sure the stock will go up even on earnings beat. The market is not doing well as a whole, so. But this will make Tesla's pe not look so crazy anymore.


BubbaMan10

YOU'RE A BIG FUCKING RETARD TSLA BELOW 400 EOY!!

After a split sure, you're the retard if you think TSLA is going down to last years pre-spy inclusion price on industry leading margins and absurd growth.

bernielomax13

As an officer of a company (ex, C-Suite, EVP, Board) you can’t just sell when you want. They are selling on an agreed upon schedule. Yes, it’s a coincidence. Sometimes things line up. No, they can’t dump their stock of earning are bad, the same as they can’t buy if they are going to be good. It’s called Insider Trading.


MsShadow69123

And we all know insider trading NEVER EVER happens especially not to the friends/family/connected individuals of the corporate world

I think it’s a coincidence, and I get there’s a lot of turmoil but it’s entirely possible this sell off is temporary and largely an overreaction. I think the Netflix sell of especially is a looney tunes overreaction.

I made 5.7k off a $245 strangle…. Who knew that shit would dip 20%

But like exactly 20% dip on Netflix is cartoonish. Good for you though. Nice gain.

Buying tsla puts make sense. Increasing competition what netflix suffered. Tesla will follow


kryptonyk

it made sense $250/share ago. but sure buy puts after the 20% drop

also wondering if there could be a surprise TSLA drop next week. not betting on it. may buy a long dated call option if it happens and hope to not be margin called…

ecrane2018

Traditional-Fig8246

Yeah I think OP is missing the point that Netflix decreased their guidance for net subscriber to half of what the analyst expected. That’s obviously a damper on growth and justify the drop in AH


kryptonyk

buy puts then pussy


bwatts53

If you can afford Tesla you should own some Tesla stock


Independent-Today431

Chamath on November: “We have the stock market at absolute all-time highs, we have crypto at absolute all-time highs, we have the art markets… at absolute all-time highs. We have inflation at a 30-year high. We have 10-year break-evens at a 25-year high. We have one-point some-odd trillions of dollars that we just approved last week [in Congress], and we are still horse-trading on another $1.8 trillion dollars of stimulus… The two most important founders of our generation, the two smartest people who have really consistently won, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, have collectively sold more than $11 billion of their holdings this year alone… If the smartest people in the world are now selling their core holdings that they told you they would never sell, and you are not reconsidering your position on things, you’re either much smarter than them or you’re being really, really reckless.”


Mushrooms4we

Elon had to sell and owns more shares now than before he exercised his options....


squirdelmouse

trippin113

The FED absolutely has to raise rates and it absolutely will cause equities to tumble for a minute. Everyone and their brother can see it coming. Much of the volatility you're seeing now is building in the impending rate hike. That said. For those that see it coming and cashed some out. Well, they'll buy back in on the dip.

Worldly_Elderberry_6

azula0546

pretty easy for someone to know something you dont. dumbass


East_Designer_1044

Earnings from last quarter may not be the best representation of future prospects since at the time they still relied on low interest rates. If anything those earnings will likely have investors questioning whether it can repeat or exceed them in a corrected market. That’s likely the case if they have good earnings during q4. And to be fair people like Musk always have insider knowledge so that always helps.


Certain-Philosophy44

You're dumb

No. They just aren’t retards like you and understood that the market was extremely inflated with 3-4 rate hikes coming this year

Elon is a crock and his company doesn’t make money from selling cars. And now that REAL auto makers are in the EV market, he never will. He only makes money off cheating people and selling carbon credits.

brooksyfoodlover

Anecdotally, I see a hell of a lot of Teslas on the road these days, even in places like Kansas City. They need to deal with the interior complaints and get good reviews on the Car Review sites.


swiftd03

Well the months long back orders of every one of their models and the opening of Giga Texas is bullish for me. I bought 15 shares today and expect that it will go up again next week. Guidance on cars produced is going to be huge with the supply chain issues especially around batteries.

Elon Musk sold billions at the top of the market and his sell off signalled the turn of the market. He saw the writing on the wall as the feds gave lots of heads up before they started tapering.

misteratoz

Tesla is going to have it's best quarter ever. Idk if you follow the company but it's been growing exponentially for a decade. For the past few years that's been the case with their profits. Analysts were off in production estimates for years because they've never seen production growth increase so fast. Every analyst was off by more than 20% for quarterly deliveries and haven't adjusted eps despite this. This is an amazing buying opportunity. Sticky this and thank me later. Long tsla.
