The Tesla Stock Split | Watch Before December 9.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey everyone me kevin here we've got to
discuss the leftover 12.9 tesla stock
rumors that there's going to be a tesla
stock split on 12 9 which is tomorrow
and we've got to address the elephant in
the room and talk about strategies for
what to do with tesla stock around this
potential event first and foremost we
already know that elon musk in a wall
street journal conference has answered
that nothing happens on 12 9 as far as
he is aware however elon musk has also
tweeted that nothing matters which is
originally something that was believed
to be a reference to whether or not a
zero should be included in a calculation
or not and when you include that
zero in that calculation all of a sudden
you get the result of twelve nine
there's so many speculative internet
rumors about this i've gone through all
of them in a video before and i will
link to that down below so you can watch
that if you want to see the refresher on
why there's so much drama around 12 9
but right now there's no indication that
a stock split will happen on 12 9 but
there's a lot of enthusiasm for a stock
split to happen for tesla elon musk did
mention that around the 850 level that
the tesla was not yet at a high enough
level to justify a stock split and the
last time tesla stock split tesla stock
price was in the 1370 range right now
tesla is trading
for
1068 dollars it's down about 13 from its
all-time highs of about hundred or
twenty nine dollars so we've still got a
bit to go to to be at similar levels
from the last time we did a five one
stock split but when we did have a five
one stock split and there were a lot of
little hints that were laid leading up
to that stockplate and then that's
what's leading to essentially similar
rumors being formed now around 12 9.
elon musk however coming out in response
to 12 9 and saying that as far as i'm
aware nothing happens kind of makes it
clear that
elon is either lying now
or nothing happens because
when he says as far as i know nothing
happens then if tesla announces
something then that's obviously
something happening and we would imagine
that elon musk would know about that i
suppose there's a small edge case
scenario where he wouldn't know about a
tesla announcement but that would be
weird because he's playing into these
hints pretty hard
if uh you know he does mention that this
is just one of those memes that came out
of nowhere who knows maybe he's just
playing into the whole 12 9 thing
because he likes having fun with people
and speculation online kind of like when
he played with uh with dogecoin on snl
and even before that right now there has
been some speculation that maybe nothing
happens is a reference to well elon's
automatic stock selling via his 10b51
plan
ceases on 12 9. this makes some sense
because that would imply that on 12 9
nothing happens
instead something stopped happening
right his automatic selling stopped
selling it happening because for the
last few weeks last four sales he's done
he's only been selling plans through his
automated 10b51 plan now if we hop on
over to gary black's twitter whom i
absolutely encourage you follow if you
love tesla news on twitter take a look
at the spreadsheet he puts together he
gives us sort of this outline that elon
musk has already sold 59.2 percent of
his promised 17 million shares
approximately 17 million shares that's
what elon musk promised to sell and elon
musk only sold about 10
million of those shares now elon musk
has stopped manually selling shares
you'll notice instead he's been selling
934.91
shares via his 10b51 plan which is an
automated selling plan now there is no
particular pattern in terms of when
these are sold other than one particular
thing here take a look at this monday 11
uh eight and that's monday one week
later on 11 5 you get another 10b51
execution then one day later you get
another one then another week after that
you get another sale
on 11 23 and then a week and two days
after that you get another 10b51 sale so
no clear pattern it's not like every
seven days the 10b51 plan triggers
instead
take a look at the bottom when elon
exercises his options which he did on
the 8th 15th 16th 23rd and 2nd which is
the same as when the 10b51 plan
automatically sells shares on the 8th
15th 16th 23rd and 2nd that's when
elon's 10b51 plan triggers so when elon
sells uh his options or or rather not
sells his options when he exercises his
options when he takes those shares his
10b51 plan automatically triggers the
sale of almost a million shares so this
is now leading to speculation that maybe
elon's going to somehow automatically
exercise
uh the rest of his his options and then
automatically have a bunch of 10b51
sales triggered at the same time as he
exercises these options and maybe he's
going to be done selling tesla shares
tomorrow but if he's done selling tesla
shares tomorrow that means he's going to
dump 40 percent of his additional
promise which would be somewhere around
seven million shares that that has a
very good chance of tanking the stock
price and just being horrible who knows
maybe
it's all going to go over and go through
a block sale where all of a sudden elon
musk block sales his uh
you know shares and and he gets rid of
all of them and he's done and he can put
a little statement up from morgan
stanley or some uh market maker and say
hey you know what we're done i'm done
selling my shares we're onwards and
upwards maybe that's it and it's like
hey nothing happened because we're
finished
who knows and maybe that's disclosed
from a day earlier that today they made
the agreement and that's it elon musk is
done it's all speculation but right now
when elon musk says nothing happens the
odds of a stock split i would say
under five percent the odds of some sort
of company announcement or cyber truck
event or something crazy probably
relatively low because again elon says
nothing
happens
so but again he does say that nothing
matters and nothing uh does matter in
terms of certain calculations and does
matter in terms of things ending so
maybe some things end it'd be nice if
elon would stop selling his shares
because we're in sort of a downward
trajectory with the share price right
now and this is where it's worth doing
just a little minor ta here look this is
i mean this is amateur here but look at
this folks uh we are experiencing lower
highs you can see the trend line here
lower highs and lower lows right
we extend to the the tippies here in the
tippies we get the lower highs and
lower lows and we're in this channel of
really pain for tesla we're down 13
again off all-time highs we're in
between the channel here but what we're
really looking for is a breakout and i
don't think that we're going to see a
breakout
on tesla certainly not until elon musk
is done selling his shares and he's got
a lot of work to do because it's going
to hold institutions back from wanting
to invest in this because they would
expect continued pressure to the
downside and if you simply look at the
chart this is not exactly reminiscent of
something that seems like at any point
soon or until elon musk is done selling
his shares this is actually going to be
rotating up again especially since 11 8
is right here and it's the first uh
hikashi red candle
and it's also the first day he started
selling shares so it kind of created
this channel here right
okay cool so my strategy and a bottom
line on all of this well number one
look if there are some nice dips that
meet that trend line at the bottom where
we followed like under a thousand again
i'm down to buy the dip again i did trim
a little bit of my tesla position in the
mid 1100s and upper 1000s but that's
because i had a commitment coming up uh
and that commitment is now no longer an
issue i'll make a video about that one
of these days and uh and so now i'm kind
of rebuying it and buying the dip i've
got about 18 cash otherwise i'm fully
invested my goal is to get all that
invested into the market uh by the end
of the year maybe we'll take advantage
of the cpi uh you know catalyst or the
fomc fear that could be coming but
beyond that i'm interested in getting
invested uh if we do get uh any kind of
stock split obviously we expect the
stock to to probably skyrocket in
anticipation of a split if there was a
split announced i would probably
instantaneously buy a lot of shares
because i would expect the market i mean
this is going to be worldwide news i
mean everybody's going to go nuts over
this
and people are going to be buying a
stock like crazy no guarantees of course
if there's no split expected though uh
which i kind of expect or if no there's
no split announced which i expect
then tomorrow might be a little bit of a
depressing day we could actually be
seeing some traders who are getting into
tesla for temporary momentum take losses
maybe tiny gains and escape tesla and
just sell and so we could see some
additional selling pressure combine
traders leaving tesla
with institutional traders waiting to
buy more tesla unless there are dips and
waiting for elon musk to sell we have
more reasons to expect that this
downward channel is probably and trend
channel is going to continue for at
least the next few weeks until elon musk
has completely finished uh his his sales
and uh and then of course these rumors
will be gone so uh who knows maybe
there'll be a better opportunity buying
on tesla i'm of course still very long
and very bullish on tesla and it's still
the largest position that i own and i'm
so so very excited about tesla but uh
yeah not too overly enthusiastic about
tomorrow but i will be prepared to pull
the trigger no matter what happens so
thank you very much for watching this
video and folks we'll see in the next
one thanks bye
