TSLA - Tesla Motors may not survive

08/11/2010 12:47 PM by stockdoc9999

TSLA came public recently and shot up to over $30 on pure hype.

June quarter losses were huge and their main product is not slated to get to market before 2013-2014. Even then it may not be a competitive entry in the overall automobile market.

The shares have started dropping back and there is no fundamental reason they can't simply burn through all their cash before they ever turn a profit.

    I would there's also some political risk here, as if the GOP regains Congress, they might be less likely to extend further federal aid to Tesla.

    Tesla will get bought out for pennies on the dollar. This is just Elon Musk cashing out at the expense of everyone's mutual funds, which were willingly 'duped' to advance the greater social good (wink wink). The writing's on the wall.

    Skype is looking like another POS IPO: http://seekingalpha.co...

    Maybe not as bad as Tesla, however.

    Now down 15% on the day, as the IPO lock-up period expired ( http://www.bloomberg.c... ). I wonder what will happen to CCSC shares when the IPO lock up expires on those shares in a few months ( http://shortscreen.com... ).
