Our question: If Tesla asks Wall Street for money again, what will the answer be? https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/03/business/dealbook/elon-musk-tesla-analysts.html how many shares is Goldman short?
I just don't understand Wall Street. Elon Musk has missed on so many targets in the past and is now facing more serious financing issues, yet few institutional holders are selling TSLA. To me, Tesla's mind-boggling high valuation would be a far more important issue than Musk's petulant behavior at a conference call.
Funny, simple rule, have 0% debt or 100% debt, you call all the shots, most people have somewhere between 5% and 95%, no leverage. All Musk has to do is float default and the bankers will go in to a spin, it would cause contagion and send the stock market reeling. But, be prepared to follow through if squeezed, no one is ever ready for that, they think it will never happen, he would pull the plug just like on the conference call. The psychology of it all, makes life interesting.
When I was in school we had a word for this: (creating/growing) bubble. What we learned too was that nobody understands the growing bubble, and after the bubble bursts, everybody tells that it was clear and obvious it was a bubble...
You go first please. I'm just an ultra-small potato. I'll wait till big institutions start dumping. Well, it depends on what "free" means. It also depends on what the meaning of "It's" is.
