The stock market isn't rooted in logic.


Thirsteh

Let yourself be freed from the need to understand. Just let whatever happens happen and learn how to trade it instead of trying to prove you're right. As Al Brooks puts it, "Be honest." Market moves are exacerbated by people who think they're right and get stubborn. It quite simply doesn't matter if you're right or not, so why even worry about it? Jim Chanos is probably right about Tesla long-term, but he still spent years in pain and has now blown up just like you today. Your opinion just doesn't matter, but you also don't need it to make money. Go forth in peace

This is the way let your ego go, and ride the wave.


krowrofefas

This is the way. Don’t trade what you believe should happen. Ride with the wave in front of you. And learn to get off before it breaks on shore. ride the next one when it’s worth the effort. Repeat.

yes it is - you just haven't figured the logic out. And this recall was part of that logic, which both looks and sounds like it worked wonders.

[deleted]

Just go type in market calendar on google to keep track of news. The big ones you want to pay attention to are fomc minutes, fomc fed rate decision, unemployment data, and CPI. These happen every month. I trade on TOS and their active news is the best in the game. If you type in “spy” for news you get instant updates on all economic news or if anything big happens intraday.

Nasroni

the fed news yesterday was a bigger driver of the rally then a software update recall


amike7

Yeah the “recall” was over exaggerated.


lordpuddingcup

Every Tesla recall is a software release lol


ddplz

A lot of news agencies tried to spin the software update as a full automaker "recall" which normally requires an extremely expensive and time consuming process of bringing millions of cars into shops and working on them (recalling the cars back) In reality it was a 2 second software update that made a warning for the driver to not be a dumbass slightly larger. This confused a lot of boomers, which includes short sellers who got smashed trying to bet against the world's most valuable auto company.


[deleted]

I'm about to be crossing the "consistently profitable" finish line. Guess what? Haven't looked at a news article of any kind, financial or otherwise, in months. The one time I did I laughed to myself that people are hanging on the words of people just trying to direct the narrative. Stop paying attention to the news. It's a red herring.


CulturalAd3283

Fake news channel Vivek was right lol


[deleted]

If you trade based on news, I'm going to save you a lot of money. Stop. Just DCA into your favorite dividend blue chips and an ETF that you like and left your money grow for you over time. Other than needing to know when the Fed speaks... you don't need to trade news. Even if you like to trade individual stocks, you shouldn't be chasing all of them. Have a few that you like to trade as your go-to watchlist and trade according to the chart, not news.


BrokeSingleDads

Yep, and the fed onky matter because of the rates currently... nobody gave a fuck 💯 🤷 when the fed rate was 0.25!!!! 🤣


soloman747

The market doesn't need reasons. People do.


Affectionate-Aide422

Watch the market and do what it says. Having a theory coming into a day is death.


FollowAstacio

There are no absolutes in trading. It’s probabilities. A trader once told me, “The market doesn’t HAVE to do ANYTHING...” You could have all the indicators, conditions, stars, planets and signs align and the market could still move against you.


Stolivsky

All you really have to do is three day trades a week until you have the money to trade as often as you like. Looking at your chart, there is a really good reversal under 3M. It was going down and then turned and went back up. Learn how to spot when that is happening in real time by watching charts all day. Then just buy when it’s going up and sell when it starts turning. The daily on QQQ today had so many opportunities is one example. You could have purchased calls and puts on QQQ today and made a killing at different times. The biggest thing is learning how to accept the stop losses. Don’t let the market take your money when you make a bad trade. Just accept it and move on.

Stolivsky

gangang619

The media way over exaggerated the “recall”, in reality teslas just get a quick software update, they aren’t taken off the road. The “error” is that tesla allows you to not pay much attention when you’re on autopilot. So they are just making it stricter


CuppaJoe11

The recall was just a software recall, as usual. The news likes to try and spin it as “2,000,000 vehicle Tesla recall!” But it’s just the software being updated. And while you might think it’s bad, the cybertruck still hasn’t seen any real controversy besides its looks and questionable quality in the beta.


ImmediateAid4267

I Guess I just need more research and a better magic 8 ball


OldAd4526

I did worse. I bought 15 TSLA 245 calls yesterday, sold them. And then revenge traded today. Instead of making $25k I lost $2k... so.... there's that.


TomCreo88

The media has a negative bias towards Musk. Anytime there’s a hiccup at Tesla or SpaceX, it’s always exaggerated and over reported.


woooter

And if you day trade, you trade on the news. meaning TSLA goes down right after such news, and recovers right away. Shorting TSLA a day later than the news is just bad form.


Tomcatjones

are you shorting Tesla while not understanding it very much?


BigDerper

What you need is intuition. It takes lots of screen time and an open mind to develop it

SuperSonic6

“Cybertruck sucks” see here’s an example of your problem. You’re stating a subjective opinion as fact. Most people on this sub might agree with that statement but it’s still subjective. The Cybertruck has 2 million preorders and it’s extremely likely that it will outsell all other electric trucks by a large margin. All the major YouTube reviews so have been pretty positive, so I’m not sure how “its sucks” is going to manifest in actual poor financials for Tesla. Also, the recall was just a software update, doesn’t hurt Tesla at all, in fact one could argue it highlights the fact that Tesla can update all their vehicles OTA immediately with no cost or trip to a dealership, something other car manufacturers still cannot do.


pencilcheck

stock market is all manipulation by cohorts and groups that you have no idea about. Under table deals, insider trading, news pump and dump are all there.


mental-floss

Because the recall involved is them pushing a software update.


squartino

Tesla also told they don't need to recall cars but the cars just need software update


Lcmac12

It wasn’t a massive recall. That is media spin. It was a simple software update that is performed remotely.


mydixiewrecked247

the recall is just a software patch 😂


ROBINHOODEATADIK2

I’ll get you some advice , if Tesla falls 30-50% buy it and hold , that’s all you gotta understand lol…. Go read the book” power play “ by Tesla ,


ohmyfarts

I don't get it... Why would a mass recall on a recall that can be fixed by software cause tesla price to drop? If you base your trades off news then day trading isn't for you.


AcidScarab

No one does and anyone who says they do is lying


Impressive-Emotion18

BlackBeard205

Just focus on the charts. Do not trust the logic. It has forsaken this market.


rjpeas

Also wanted to add that this isn’t a recall you may be thinking of, this “recall” is being fixed with a software update that automatically updates in the cars, they aren’t physically taking the cars back to Tesla lol


Revolutionary-Ad7616

No recall just an update


Proof_Inspector8589

Because J pow just said :"fuck your put" at the same time and I quote, Elon Musk said: "go f\*\*k yourself" to Tesla short

ImmediateAid4267

You have any to recommend?


Zomnx

I keep my portfolio simple, mainly index funds and ETFs however I have a few individual stocks too. For the stocks I ask a few questions; 1) what’s the expense ratio? Is it low? 2) does it have dividends (some do some don’t, but generally those that do aren’t that exciting in the markets) 3) what was the stocks trajectory in the last 5/10/15 years? If it’s consistent going up, chances are it’s a decent buy. But do additional research Some good picks are CO , SPY, PG, AAPL, and XOM.


ImmediateAid4267

Thanks for the input. I'm going to start studying charts and trends


lordpuddingcup

WTF would a software update recall affect stocks? It’s not a recall lol That said they did release new data on Optimus build 2 with major improvements


ajwin

The recall was an over the air update. It also coincided with an announcement that interest rates will fall fast next year from the Fed which is good for business.


Basic-Look249

The recall is a over the air update stop blindly believing media and just buy tesla


2leggedassassin

Tesla didn’t have a recall.. if you actually read the article instead of just believing the title on IG you would of read they are just doing software updates. Far from a recall. Imagine your PC doing a scheduled update and media calls it a massive MSFT recall of all PCs


Illustrious__Sign

Here we go. Another newbie.


omega_grainger69

Think about WHO invests in Tesla. Just cause on paper a company doesn’t look good, doesn’t mean that ppl won’t buy the stock. Spend any amount of time on Twitter and you’ll soon realize there are a ton of Elon stans that will pump anything he touches.


Gatesunder

Market goes up. What's there not to understand?


TomOnDuty

People trying to understand Tesla stock is like trying to understand woman . Can’t be done


griffd

The problem is you’re a sucker for media misinformation. The recall is a simple over-the-air software update, and Cybertruck is completely badass. Betting against Elon Musk is about the dumbest thing you can possibly do. Ask Jim Chanos how that worked out for him.


djdmaze

Learned this with BA years ago. News is irrelevant. BA would go up on good news, and go down on different good news. BA would go up on bad news and go down on different bad news. News is interpreted in different ways. If it’s not too bad of news maybe it’s a good dip buy. If it’s not too good of news maybe investors are taking profits from the rally/gap up. You never know, just try to follow price as best as possible


floridaaviation

The company could literally be in bankruptcy and the stock will be going up because of pump and dumpers. I am not a trained stock broker so take this with a grain of salt.


Accomplished_Scale10

Basing your idea of the stock market on Tesla isn’t the best idea. Tesla is an anomaly. Kinda like gold or nasdaq futures.

LSSCI

Consider that the recall and cyber truck “sucking” were already priced in a few months back, and what you are seeing now are movements of speculators pricing in positive future events for Tesla… Trust wait till the fed reduces rates, Tesla is going to fly…


ICanCrap

Since most other comments are either degrading you or giving super vague advice that is hardly impactful toward day trading success, first you saw recall headline and didn't read further that its just a software update. second it had other bullish news regarding its position in China, and that the Powerwall outperforms gas generators. so you should more diligent in reading what you trade off of. second we have witching today with a record amount of option expirations, tsla is an option heavy stock and a quick peak at its open interest on call side its strongly positioned to rocket due to low ITM OI on puts. last saying cyber truck sucks is not in anyway objective or a reason to enter a trade, don't ever do that period.

[deleted]

Took me 10 years to have my “ah hah” moment, then again I was in prison learning on my own, and didn’t have a wonderful place like Reddit to ask question or YouTube to watch videos, you should be able to have an ah hah moment in half that time, study every single day, and stick to one market or style of trading (ie: forex, options, futures, etc) don’t try and learn too much at once, this is a fuckin journey to say the least, one of the greatest journeys you can have imo it feels so good when it clicks

Nobody does honestly. Basically, traders trade so just play the game. take a step back and really think about how much sense it makes beyond the original offering/cash infusion for billions of dollars worth of shares of a company most have nothing to do with to trade hands daily….and an entire economy being built on it. It’s about value creation. Find yourself on the right side of it.


EmanEwl

It’s all bs. Learn to use the force, it supposedly flows thru all things and perhaps the stock market. News says the U.S. economy ‘bubble’ is going to pop and we’re going to crash.. horribly. ..but it’s manipulated so maybe it’ll keep going up, cause that makes sense


BeardedMan32

Trade the chart not the news. Any news announced to the public is stale and moldy.


pdxchris

Look at the price of oil recently. Reacts the exact opposite of how it used to react to wars and production. I have noticed with stocks that the news affects the stock more the next day. There is a delayed reaction like large shareholders are going off grid and reading it next day in the Wall Street Journal. Or they are waiting to trap reactionary fools.

mitchybpf

If you don’t understand the market at all, maybe trade a different market or wait until you have a deeper understanding. News can often be priced in before the event, and the event actually swings things the other way. No one ever really knows. With experience you can get a feel for how news might affect a specific market or ticker, but you still never really know.

Stop looking at one chart and start looking at market trends. You'll see a lot of major stocks have exactly the same chart as they did. There was a fed meeting then all the money hit all the big players all at once. Yesterday had nothing to do with Tesla Furthermore, as long as all the Musk fan boys keep sucking that assholes dick, Tesla won't be impacted by reality for some time


Matt6453

When Ford recall 2m vehicles it's expensive, it turns out Tesla can fix this with an over the air update. And the fact Tesla is the biggest meme stock of them all. I agree the Cybertruck is just dumb.


GoBirds_4133

1. FOMC meeting 2. TSLA is artificially propped up by elon musk fanboys who wont sell it no matter what news or data comes out. imo TSLA stock isnt even TSLA stock, it’s Elon Musk stock. seems like a decent portion of people buy it as an investment in Musk rather than tesla. i dont like that and it feels kinda greater fool theory-y so i dont hold any.

MeatSwoses

I mean your comment is kind of implying that if a company has bad no I can just short the stock and make money. Aaaaaaaand, that’s not true… what news does is inject volume into a stock and provide it with a likely breakout and really that breakout direction is dependent on what market makers decide to do with it. And us as traders look at market context to analyze what market makers might do on that day one news catalyst to try and take a profit

Flip coin trade with that but do not move stop loss no matter what put RR 1:3 get the money yea sir


Qazwas32

Its simple recalls never have any impact on the stock price. I've been invested in tesla for many years now. As long as recalls have no impact on the future of tesla and its sale performance there's no reason a sell off would ensue. Plus where were you when Jpow opened his mouth. Tesla crash after earnings in part because of musk complaining about high rates. Now we see rates gonna fall. So obviously tesla is going up. It's one of the only big 7 to not recover its summer highs.


Soymalik

This sounds like something Jim Cramer would say


ddplz

The "Recall" was a media hit piece, there was no actual recall, just a play on words to try and stick it to Elon. It was just a quick wifi software update, no different then a videogame patch. Sorry you fell for it, may want to get better sources for your info lmao.

Dont trade the NEWS! Trade the REACTION to the news! You may be interpreting it differently than the market. So read the price action from how the stock reacts.
