BUY ON WEAKNESS
Continues to move like crazy after the stock split. Pure momentum is driving it. Merit to what they're doing, but doesn't know that the sharp move up is sustainable. Periods of volatility. If you believe in the name, just wait for periods of weakness and chip away at it. Expensive, due to DIY trading.
RISKY
Broadly, they've built an electric car that the rest of the industry couldn't do. The traditional car companies can't compete with them. Tesla has improved the technology, and will continue to grow. You have to be able to stomach the volatility, but this presents buying opportunities. In the sweet spot in the industry.
DON'T BUY
Short it? It's shot up and challenged investor perceptions. Everyone is talking about Tesla. They have advantages over traditional carmakers, because Tesla records all driving data in their cars which they analyze. You really have to believe in huge market share gains in the coming decade, and revenues from software which offer high margins. A lot of things like these have to go right for Tesla. Don't short--or buy--it here. When the current buzz wears off, consider shorting.
DON'T BUY
He hasn't seen a stock with such a cult following. The short-sellers have been punished. He's been dying to short this, and thankfully he didn't. Tesla does not generate a profit. Logic fails here. This is pure momentum chasing this. There will be a day of reckoning for Tesla. Other car companies are developing their own e-cars, too.
COMMENT
Short sellers losing big time. About $18 billion has been lost by short-sellers, according to analysts. They delivered over 91,000 vehicles in their last report -- not huge.
DON'T BUY
Can't deny the momentum. 155x PE for a 35% growth rate. Beta is 1.5. Expensive. Market has high expections. Stay away. Can buy safer companies with a better valuation. Lots of competition.
PARTIAL SELL
At one point someone is going to have to pay for the extra capacity of charging eclectic cars. He would wait for 5 years. TSLA-Q is an expensive start-up run by a guy he does not have much confidence in. He would take your gains off the table.
WEAK BUY
It is a speculative play. There is no valuation that you can apply that makes any sense. It is a cult stock. There are an army of retail buyers that bought more than the professionals. It is not his style but he would not stand in the way of owning it.
DON'T BUY
Even the CEO said this stock is too high. He bought this in 2012, early, but since 2018, their sales have been flat. He sold. Tesla has run up as investors anticipate good sales in China. That's too optimistic. The Chinese and Europeans prefer buying their own cars.
DON'T BUY
The challenge with these high-Beta companies is that they are highly volatile -- sometimes moving by 4-5 times that of the daily market moves. He looks for lower beta, lower volatility companies.
HOLD
Buy after their earnings release? A very difficult stock to invest in, though a wonderful trading stock. TSLA is stuck between it 50- and 200-day averages. Watch these levels. $472 is his price target.
DON'T BUY
Buy it at $917? Really? Long-term, this is a good stock. But buy it at today's price? No. You can dabble in it, but he won't buy it now.
COMMENT
Whenever you have a concept stock, whether it be Tesla or pot stocks, there are expectations for future earnings. You have to be able to know when to take money off the table. He would sell half once you get to a certain point and the rest is free. They have no fundamental earnings. As long as the talk is positive, it will continue to rise. There was also shorting so they might have covered and boosted the stock. You have to be disciplined since it's very speculative with a high beta.
DON'T BUY
A pure momentum play detached from any metric. He stands back and watches this. This isn't based on fundamentals, but momentum. So if this shoots up this fast, it can also turn down on a dime.
DON'T BUY
A volatile stock, a volatile owner. Tesla hasn't made money yet. It's very challenging. The current melt-up is a short squeeze that's overbought.
