    TSLA This chart could be used in a future book about Tesla and be titled "Anatomy of a short squeeze"

    I think the short squeeze

    Posted by matt on 29th of Jan 2020 at 04:41 pm

    I think the short squeeze has helped push the stock certainly, however I don't think there's been real buying for months  If you looked into them on the last earnings call and saw the potential for all this stuff that's starting to hit, I think you've had real buying for months vs just a short squeeze. But yest it's obviously getting away ahead of itself , these parabolic moves can go higher than you think before petering out

    looks like lot of short covering.  May be good time to go short after this flush.

    People finally started believing b this story. This will be joining the 1000$ league soon.

    well arun I was a believe back in the low and mid 200's as you know.  But even I'm surprised it's went up this far this fast holy cow

    People got carried away with

    Posted by arun on 29th of Jan 2020 at 10:22 pm

    People got carried away with the tesla debt and Elon twitter drama. But no one to this date pays attention to their technology. I still remember someone in BPT was making fun of TSLA how it dropped from 380 to 180 in a year. Yes thats true . But did anyone look at it as buying opportunity ?? Most of my dumb doctor friends who have zero clue about stocks went and bought it from 175-225 level. I bought long term calls at 240-250 level but got out at 390. I missed a big move from 400 to 650 now. That would have been like 500K dollars because i had 20 calls of 360/370 strike expiring July 2020.

    12 years since Tesla car was launched - show me ONE car - that comes half as close. Tesla cars will take over the entire world. I though china would be a headwind but thats going be a strong point for them now that they opened a gigafactory there. Germany is next. 

    TSLA will run to 1500/2000 level like AMZN did. Lot of people missed that massive move in AMZN from 400 to 2000. Now AMZN is in consolidation mode. but most likely we wont be able to get that 800-1000 price ever unless some major disaster happens. I even see SHOP and MELI also joining the  $1000-2000 club. I know you guys are traders but if you can also give us some ideas on how we can accumulate these good companies over time, that would be really helpful. I personally believe wealth can be built in the stock market by identifying great companies and accumulating over time.

    utilize the tools I gave

    Posted by matt on 29th of Jan 2020 at 10:49 pm

    utilize the tools I gave you guys.  60 Stochastic above 50%, is bullish - go look at weekly chart of AMZN, would have got you in last at early 2015.  Use my higher low stop method, if you want longer term as a way to ratchet stops up, use it on weekly instead of daily charts. the BPT MA Deluxe also useful on those daily and weekly stocks.  My moving average ribbon method. MACD above zero is bullish, the ATR indicator - I've given you these valuable tools for trending so go use these on the companies you like.

    Matt Thanks so much for

    Posted by arun on 29th of Jan 2020 at 11:08 pm

    Matt Thanks so much for responding this late.  I wish i can interpret that chart. There are too many tools. but that being said - if we want to do something , we should be prepared to learn. I know you talk about these a lot on newsletters. 

    few questions :

    1) Do you have any sticky link with videos on how to understand this and more importantly - critical notes on stops/MACD etc

    2) This is obviously trade station link which i dont have. I took stockcharts membership and I use Thinkorswim. Can you show us how to do these long term chart indicators on TOS. I can understand stock charts but this TS is literally like greek/latin

    3) Would you be open to doing a trading webinar /live seminar ( obviously we expect you to charge us if you do that)

    Matt, I am new to

    Posted by makarolya on 30th of Jan 2020 at 08:54 am

    Matt, I am new to this forum, and obviously have to learn a lot,  I am with arun on his questions about how to learn the technical indicators you are using. Webinar is a great idea.  

    I literally discuss those indicators

    Posted by matt on 30th of Jan 2020 at 09:23 am

    I literally discuss those indicators almost on a daily basis - following the newsletter, the posts you will learn. Things like the higher low method has been discussed for a long time, the 60 Stochastic has the 50% level, I've been saying that for maybe 10 years?  None of that stuff is new. Do I have an Ebook you can read, no wish I had time to put one together, but since you are here welcome and you will see these things over time

    I saw those separately but

    I saw those separately but not in combination. I will explain in more details in a private message.
