Elon Musk is NOT Done Selling TSLA | Here's When it ENDS.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey everyone meet kevin here tesla is
rallying today it's up over six percent
at one point it was over seven percent
it had crossed a thousand dollars
slightly under a thousand dollars at the
time of this recording but a lot of
folks are very excited because they
believe that elon musk is done selling
his shares and they believe that he's
done selling his shares because of an
interview that elon musk did with the
babylon b which is a christian based uh
newspaper or well more online news
organization uh now what's important
about this uh is i think there's this
potential the
stock is rallying over this excitement
that okay perfect elon's done now's the
time to enter the stock but if all of a
sudden elon starts selling shares again
we could potentially see a sharper
reversal in the short term as folks who
are waiting for elon to be done pull out
only to come back in hopefully later now
let me break down the speculation here
so this right here is the clip from the
interview where folks are deducing that
elon musk is done selling his shares
it's very important to know going into
me playing this that elon musk said he
would sell 10 of his steak which is
about 17 million shares
he has not done so he sold about 12.9
million shares so he's getting there and
yesterday sold about another 948 000 so
if we go 12.9 plus uh 9.5 let's just do
basic little rounding here really quick
uh and that would be 900 900.5 so 0.95
then then we divide that by the 17 that
we are expecting elon musk had to have
sold to get to his 10
well if we do that simple math we know
that elon musk is really only at about
81 to 82 percent of shares sold and we
know that elon musk is a very literal
person he says he's going to sell 10
he's going to sell 10
so why are people saying that elon musk
is done selling well this interview
let's listen to this clip for about 30
seconds and we'll be right back to show
you why elon musk is not done selling
shares including what elon said after
the interview
so i sold enough stock to get to around
ten percent plus the option exercise
stuff
and uh
i very i try to be extremely literal um
so you don't generally need to read
between lines you can just read the
lines
so that's it
as the as the fattest guy here i i want
to know what's when are you gonna make
the candy company
okay so we're gonna pause there i only
wanted you to make sure that i wanted
you to see that there was nothing else
that was being said there so elon musk
is saying he's extremely and you could
watch the interview to get the question
of that babylon b elon musk they got the
interview so
elon musk said i sold shares
and
enough options
uh to to satisfy his 10 percent
this implies that he has already done so
that he's he's finished and he believes
he sold his 10
but listen closely there's a very key
word in what he said and it's very
literal and uh
i very i try to be extremely lit here we
go hold on um
so i i sold enough stock to get to
around 10 plus the option exercise stuff
and plus the aux option exercise stuff
okay so he originally sold a bunch of
shares when he started this 10 process
but then you have the option exercise
stuff so here's how the option exercise
stuff works
every time elon musk
executes
his options and he exercises them that
is he is agreeing to pay six dollars and
25 cents for a batch of 100 shares of
tesla times
the many options that he has for tesla
every time he does one of those batches
he automatically sells about and i'm
totally rounding here 950 000 shares
it's just automatic he's automatically
doing this via a 10b51 plan this 10b51
plan allows you to sell even in blackout
periods because it's an automated action
options get exercised shares
automatically sell
this is what happened yesterday morning
remember yesterday morning in the stock
and if you've watched the live streams
you know that uh yesterday elon musk or
somebody we we know we now know it was
elon musk but somebody was clearly
dumping tesla shares early in the
morning somewhere around 7 30 in the
morning and that led tesla to fall a
good chunk it fell to about
886 at its low point yesterday
i was fortunate to be able to watch
these lines on these bars i had tesla
open
while it was happening because that's
what i do i sit here all day long and i
thought to myself whoa
it's getting ready to bounce off a
purple line here which is a sport line
that i drew back in january uh and uh i
went shopping so i bought a bunch of
shares here uh i got it at 8.90 it went
down to 886 so i couldn't be perfect
about it and of course i sent an alert
to everybody in the uh stocks and
psychology of money group but the point
here is elon exercised options here
and then automatically had his
substantial portion of shares sell every
time he exercises an option his shares
sell and now elon musk has gone on
twitter and responded to
the whole mars catalog omar over there
great person he's been on the channel
absolutely encourage you follow at
holmar's blog
really really great but take a look at
this here
this
is the quote
elon musk said he quote sold enough
tesla stock to satisfy his 10 percent
goal but it misses the second part which
is plus the option stuff
and so elon musk replies to clarify this
assumes completion of the 10 b sales
now if you jump on over which is another
person you should follow if you jump on
over to uh mr gary black
and you go to uh any of his i mean he's
got phenomenal insights and information
here uh on tesla but go to his chart his
spreadsheet here look at this there it
is it's 934 000 shares uh and an
additional 91 there so every time you
get a 10b 51 sale where options are
exercised around 2.1 million options are
exercised you get a share sale of 934
091 shares
every time
and
this doesn't include yesterday's sales
which would bring you to about 81 82
and that means elon musk has another 19
to go and so since every time is moving
the needle about five to six percent
i believe there are still about four to
five days that elon musk is going to be
executing shares uh or uh exercising
options and therefore selling shares so
this is in my opinion something
important to know i think we're still
going to get more of these tesla dips
we're getting closer to the end
but in my opinion if you're looking to
buy tesla stock you want to look for
these sorts of opportunities and a good
trader can notice this right away it's a
very strong increase in volume you've
got very sudden declines in the share
price i mean it's kind of obvious when
the sales are going through relative to
something much more moderate like this
kind of flattening here
so look for those pain points i
encourage you use something like trading
view and even consider setting an alert
you can set a lot of custom alerts on
trading view this isn't sponsored by
tradingview but something else we talk
about in the courses and uh you can set
very custom alerts to help alert you of
something like this or you could do what
i do and just keep the chart up all day
long and live your life staring at a
screen of well green and red bars going
up and down
now keep in mind according to gary
black's spreadsheet here elon musk seems
to exercise these options about once per
week with the exception of november 15th
and 16th when he did essentially two
share
or two option exercises within uh within
one period of time now elon has about
four to five of these left to go
he already exercised one set yesterday
and we saw those sales yesterday
that means we should be good for the
week of the 20th the 24th there might be
another sale between the 27th and the
30th because the market's going i
believe the market closes on new year's
eve i'll have to double check that but
doesn't matter so much
then we have probably three to four more
in january that could be the first week
second week third week fourth week that
means really we could continue to see
elon musk's selling pressure all the way
through january if he wants to push all
of these taxes
into 2021 which he may not want to he
would still be fulfilling his obligation
but then delaying taxes uh by
potentially uh fulfilling these
exercises in sales the the first you
know four weeks of january then uh if
you know if you wanted to get it all
done this month i don't think he would
want to exercise
four to five more batches within the
next week because i think it could lead
to tesla going down to like 800 like
it'd be so painful there'd be so much
selling pressure so my guess is he's
gonna
we're gonna see another round of sales
next week and we're gonna see four more
three to four more in january and so
we're gonna be living with elon musk
selling these shares probably until my
birthday which is january 28th
then maybe we could get into the
springtime joy of uh of elon musk being
done and that way he's also kind of
buttered out exactly when he's paying
all of his taxes a little bit carrying a
little bit over until essentially into
2023 when he'll owe those taxes unless
of course he'll be paying quarter lease
which is entirely possible as well that
he'll pay quarter lease on these though
that is a question for his cpa
all right thanks for watching and we'll
see you the next time hopefully when
elon's done selling
