Time To Buy Tesla

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Yesterday, Tesla Motors Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) flashed a buy signal at $229.78. This put all three Trade Triangles in a positive trend.

The RSI indicator moved over the 50 level, which is also another strong confirmation. I view that action as the continuation of a strong upward trend for Tesla.

CHART LEGEND
1. Long-term positive trend line
2. All Trade Triangles are positive
3. Weekly buy Trade Triangle yesterday
4. The RSI indicator is now over 50
5. Upside target zone of $300

Technically, I can see Tesla Motors Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) moving to the $300 range. Look for near-term resistance around the $240 and $260 levels.

Did Tesla Just Make A Classic Candlestick Bottom?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

I first learned about candlestick charts when I was speaking in Tokyo on the US markets in the late 80's. I was immediately fascinated by this form of charting I had never seen before. It was similar, but so different from the way I was looking at regular Western charts.

What I like about the Japanese candlestick charts is the interesting names they have for them and the patterns that immediately tell you where the market opened and closed for the day.

At MarketClub, when you have a blue candlestick bar, it indicates the market opened lower for the day, then closed higher. When it's a red candlestick bar, it is just the reverse, indicating that the price opened higher, then closed lower for the day. This is very valuable information, information that you can use time and time again.

During my stay in Japan, I learned later that candlestick charting has been around for centuries and it was originally used to chart and track rice prices. Now, this same form of charting is used for practically every traded market in the world today.

Japanese candlestick charts differ from Western charts as they are much more visual and descriptive than Western charts. Besides the more advanced formations on candlestick charts, they also have such interesting names like "hanging man," "hammer," "dark-cloud cover" and "morning doji star." I could go on, but I think you get the picture. The names of these formations are very colorful. Continue reading "Did Tesla Just Make A Classic Candlestick Bottom?" →

Is Tesla Ready To Skyrocket?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

I am sure, like a lot of traders, you are paying close attention to what is going on in Iraq, Syria and Iran. My take on the situation is that it's not going to get better and the US is certainly not going to get involved in any meaningful way. This spells out doom for Baghdad, along with a bloody civil war which may have already started.

Against that backdrop, energy prices will continue to move higher and the possibility exists that the oil fields and processing plants in Iraq could be blown up just to put that country back in the Stone Age. We are dealing with a bloody sectarian war that is and will continue to tear that country apart. It also brings to mind what is going to happen to the rest of the Middle East? This whole Middle East problem has been going on for longer than anyone cares to remember and it's only going to be settled with a "bigger stick." At the moment, ISIS has the "bigger stick," the money, and the ferocious obsession of bringing their way of life to the area and surrounding areas. All in all it does not sound like too rosy a picture to me.

That got me thinking about who or what is going to benefit from much higher energy prices. One company stands out in my mind is Tesla Motors Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) You're probably familiar with their expensive sports car that sells for upwards of $100,000, but they're working hard on producing a lower-priced model, one for the masses. They are also planning the largest battery manufacturing plant in the world.

All of this is driven by one man, Elon Musk, who is the driving force and mastermind behind Tesla's domination of the electric market and SpaceX. Continue reading "Is Tesla Ready To Skyrocket?" →

Tesla Gigafactory Could Be Boon for Graphite, Lithium, Cobalt: Simon Moores

Posted on by admin

The Gold Report: Tesla Motors Inc. (TSLA:NASDAQ) is planning to build a $5-billion "Gigafactory" in the southwestern U.S. that would produce batteries for its high-end electric cars. You seem excited about it. Tell investors why they should be.

Simon Moores: This one plant would essentially double the world's output of electric vehicle (EV) batteries. That's 500,000 batteries a year at capacity. The idea is to drive down the cost of EV batteries by 30% or more. Tesla is focusing on the supply chain to build the lowest-cost batteries possible. If it can make the cost of its cars much cheaper, it should spark mass uptake of electric vehicles. It's a plan to turn the world electric, in a sense, and Tesla begins in 2017 with the Gigafactory and the launch of its third generation and first mass-market model.

"Syrah Resources Ltd. has been active in 2014, announcing two MOUs for offtakes with China and Europe."

TGR: Would Tesla be building batteries solely for Tesla or would it be leasing its technology to other vehicle manufacturers? Continue reading "Tesla Gigafactory Could Be Boon for Graphite, Lithium, Cobalt: Simon Moores" →

Poll: Will You Buy Solar Stocks?

Shares of SolarCity Corp. (NASDAQ:SCTY) jumped almost 18% yesterday on news that they would be acquiring solar module start-up Silevo for $200 million with another $150 million potential in earn-outs. This acquisition will be the company's first move into the solar panel manufacturing side of the business.

That leads me to the poll question today.....

Will you buy solar stocks?
