Tesla Inc (TSLA)

It has a high-growth valuation without growth this year. Car deliveries are very disappointing. Demand has normalized post-Covid. Margins are disappointing, more like any car company. He's waiting for the next catalyst and Elon Musk is a genius. What's popped share recently are self-driving cars, but still years away. Doesn't know if this will be a winner short term.

It's holding around $170-180, and the company has a new iteration (of Roadster) coming that he thinks will help. Don't give up on it.

Today's share price increase was significant. Shares have come down too far, 30% this year. 

It's true that a TSLA is more like an iPhone than a car. Price erosion, margins have come down. Distracted by making trucks. Best EV company in NA today. Ford and friends have trouble getting their act together, because they have 2 different businesses on the go.

The big issue is that they need to come out with a car that's smaller and cheaper. Biggest competition is from Chinese companies, with smaller cars of pretty good quality. Similar to what the Japanese car industry did in the 1970s.

Ignore social media, where negative chatter is coming from anonymous accounts without technical background. Note that the Chinese are dominating EVs, which will be a big issue moving forward. Tesla's valuation is extreme compared to peers in this space. Professional traders are lining up to short this when the stock breaks. Carbon offsets have benefited Tesla huge. A trader can make money on this, but investors should avoid it.

Looks good. After a dip, recovery is always swift. Problem is that the lows keep going lower each time. Don't touch until gets solidly above $210. If you own it, hold. Get out if goes below $185.

Big downtrend, but some technical indicators indicate oversold. So it may return to trend, which is higher than it is right now. Could see $220-220 in the near term. Still doesn't like it longer term. He's done a video on his blog.

Great product, but hard to determine future of business. Return on equity capital not consistent. Unsure whether long term investors will benefit. Hope is not a good recipe for investors. Would caution investors on high stock price valuation. EV saturation also a concern. 

Going to do well, as long as Mr. Musk can temper his comments. 12-month price target of $243, decent runway. Everything's humming on the EV side. Plants all over the world. Batteries, chargers. Reported with very conservative guidance, downplaying growth. He thinks they'll surprise.

Hidden gem is Dojo, world's largest supercomputer, which collects data from all the TSLA cars around the globe. This provides a tremendous wealth of data and AI capability. No dividend.

They had a lacklustre quarter and shares (and market cap) have fallen.

He bought Tesla, because he thinks shares and negativity have bottomed. He wouldn't be surprised if Elon Musk buys more shares. Feels like the consolidation period has ended.

He bought this at $186, which turned out to be the right call, though he thought Tesla would break below $185.

TSLA’s share price was under pressure recently due to slow sales growth and a cool down in excitement from investors for EVs. We tend to hold companies in the long term, as anything can happen within 6 months. From the product standpoint, we think TSLA’s portfolio of products is still unique in the EVs market, growth is expected to accelerate to around 18% over the next few years as the company starts delivering cyber trucks. We don't really like stepping into negative momentum, but we think one could take a initial small position with a view to add later.
