Media said competition from Ionic, Mercedes and VW but so far Tesla is still the popular choice. With the look of sports car and electric Tesla can't be beaten while Elon is at the helm.

2ticks, don't sell for loss. If possible try averaging down. If the numbers are good on Sunday then we could see another 5-10% jump and it should then slowly motor towards $240-$250 for once and that will be our chance to decide what to do then.

Ark's Cathy has got $1600 price target and Tesla is the major holding.
Second half rates could go down and that is the reason money is coming back into growth stocks from now itself and we are sitting at $200 currently and this could move easily to $250-$300 in second half. I hold Nvidia and bought at high last year at around $290 and then bought another tranche at $180 last year and now Nvidia is back to $270 already! I'm pretty sure Tesla will be back to $250-$300 this year. Currently it is at $600 in old money. It went to $1200 at the peak, which is $400 in the new money so $250-$300 is reasonable and easy to get.

$25000 car if and when it comes, stock should motor up new highs.
With Cyber truck deliveries increasing, it should all add up to the deliveries.

Toyota reported increase in sales with supply chain pressure easing so I expect Tesla numbers will beat expectations easily. If it does then hopefully we move into 200s and stay there and inch higher!

Consumers are still able to spend up and if the same holds for travel then travel stocks should soar as currently there is a worry about downturn and consumer spending which could impact margins but today's retails sales proved other way.

For Easter break we could see media talking about record number of people flying and long queues and that should lift the travel stocks so any drop now is a chance to top up.

100% agree with the rates. They should have done big rise from the beginning instead of smaller increases. Trouble is that just like landlords who are increasing the rents to cover the mortgage costs, all producers are doing the same increasing the prices of the goods to cover the rising costs. Only way is to kill the demand by job lay offs and unemployment levels increase.

End the war and that could provide some respite but we have clowns all over who want the war to continue!

Moody's upgrade of Tesla investment rating and China sales Jan-Mar 19th are exceeding previous quarter and exceeding figures from same quarter last year are an indication that Tesla demand is not weakening. If the margins continue to improve with manufacturing costs reduced as mentioned by CFO then stock should accelerate to previous high.

Just need FED to put a brake on interest rates.

"the underlying operating profit increased by £238m to £652m and this is forecasted to be £800m to £1B for 2023. The net debt dropped from £5.2B to £3.3B and this is forecasted to drop more to £2.5B for 2023.
"

Increasing cash flow to £1bn is what every broker is forecasting and is the reason for the 200p target. If you guys remember Seeking Alpha analyst said if positive cash flow hits £1bn then RR is a £2.36 share and this year there is no doubt RR will see £1bn cash flow with flying hours reaching 90% of 2019 and could be higher. Pre-pandemic RR SP was near £3.50. Current price is very much undervalued. With more orders in power business and defense contracts atleast £1bn operating margin is easy IMO for this year.

As per Bloomberg -

An estimated $2.7 trillion of derivatives contracts tied to stocks and indexes are scheduled to mature, obliging Wall Street managers to either roll over existing positions or start new ones. The process usually involves portfolio adjustments that lead to a spike in trading volume and sudden price swings.

While the event has its benefits, such as amping up liquidity, that may not be enough to appease investors reeling from shocks ranging from the collapse of three US banks to hawkish comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

Demand for bearish options has been on the rise, a stark departure from last year, when a bear-market selloff barely registered in the world of derivatives. Meanwhile, market makers — who are on the other side of transactions and need to buy or sell equities to keep a neutral position — are caught in a state known as “short gamma.” The stance requires them to ride the prevailing trend, buying stocks when they rise and selling when they fall.

Rolls Royce is getting into a good shape with China re-opening and with the new orders, RR is safe from all the shocks. Hopefully more money comes back into RR from Monday. We are very much undervalued and broker targets are towards 200p now!

All of last year and until the results this year, it was frustrating to see RR SP. Good news we go down and bad news we go down by double. Shorts all over it and now there is so much scramble for shares. Still 50% undervalued IMO

Further 2% is not what markets are expecting I think? But yes if inflation is stubborn then we could see another 2% rise. Hopefully not.
Today has been good. 184 close and should motor towards 200 again as I think next week FED rate rise could be just 25 points and that should support rally for all of March and April. Will add again if it hits 180 in first few mins of opening tomorrow.

Bloomberg forgot to update their page about ECB hike! News out 10mins ago and still no update!
Markets are dropping with the fear of more companies collapsing!

When rates started going up last year, growth stocks were sold off. This year if rates start to drop in second half then we could see growth stocks going up? With banks collapse I think rates could start to come down and that will be good for Tesla IMO Let's see where we head to in second half. I added at 180. Anything under 180 is a buy for me to bring avg down.

"what happened to those posters from about 5 months ago that said that the UK was already in a deep recession - BEFORE the figures were released - how embarrassing
"
LTI, good shout!
This whole stock market is a total mockery. But I think the thing to understand is that the big funds invest in millions and they can't afford to sit in a loss and wait for the price to come back up like us small investors although the amount that we invest is much dearer to us in the same way as the millions that funds invest. Big funds prefer to sell as soon as they see a big risk emerging even if it is a fart from a donkey that can cause 10 people on the street to lose smell because the funds will extrapolate the numbers to see how many such donkeys are there! So what do we do, just try your luck and hang in or get out. I need 51p to get out. GL

Corporation tax hike is priced in already. No one expected Hunt to back down on that. If any hint of considering to be revised to lowering it down will be a welcome boost to corporates and banks.

I need 240 for break even and I think if rates peak then soon and start to drop them growth stocks like Tesla should start to move up? Very recent run went up to 210 so 240 should be possible this year?

All the US banks are going back to the share prices where they belong to so should be Lloyds!

First Republic Bank (FRC.N) was up 29.17% a day after hitting an intraday record low of $17.53.

Western Alliance Bancorp's shares (WAL.N) jumped 9.98% as Kenneth Griffin's Citadel Advisors LLC disclosed a 5.3% stake in the lender.

Among other regional banks, Citizens Financial Group (CFG.N) gained 2.74%, PacWest Bancorp (PACW.O) surged 38.26% and KeyCorp (KEY.N) advanced 7.25%.

Charles Schwab (SCHW.N) shares were up 12.68% after CNBC reported that Chief Executive Officer Walt Bettinger said he bought 50,000 shares of the company while billionaire investor Ron Baron said he "modestly increased" his position in the stock.

The S&P 1500 regional banks sub-industry index (.SPCOMBNKS) gained 2.15% after plunging 21.6% over the past three sessions, its biggest three-day percentage drop since March 2020 and fourth-largest since 2005, prompting investors to look for bargains in the space.

"There is a lot more upside to come to get back to where they were, which is really where they belong," said Tim Ghriskey, senior portfolio strategist at Ingalls & Snyder in New York, New York.

Lloyds should get back to 54p as the dividend date approaches. Any weakness tomorrow morning should be an
opportunity to add.

"Get in and out, dont hold take the little 2 and 3 % gains buy back in. Its a RINSE REPEAT SCENARIO FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS.

Buy at your own risk AND IT IS A RISK. BUY THIS SHARE FOR A 4% divi but it NOSE DIVES 20% in a month IS THAT A WISE INVESTMENT???
"

Nicely summed up. I should have sold it at 53 but kept waiting hoping for 60-65p. Waste of holding for dividend when this drops multiple times higher than dividend!

Trouble is with the shorts and day traders. RR was dead like this for 3yrs and bloody shorts had to close after superb results with 20% rise!

What is needed for Lloyds to jump like that? Lloyds are doing both Buybacks and dividends so what else does market need? Nothing, just use Lloyds SP as a training tool for the newbies at the trading desks by the big institutions. Bit of bad news algos are configured to take the price down. I guess next time it is 51p I will be out.

If the Chinese allied with Mexico and pushed their aims up to the US border what do you think the US would do? Do what happened in Cuba answer that question for you!!

Bang on right Tomaa! All those supporting Ukraine are voicing the opinions purely by emotions but not understanding the reality and consequences. Today Z's wife is asking for more weapons and they say that we have killed thousands of Russians, give us more weapons and we can kill more! I don't have words to describe how stupid this ask for more weapons is! Where is the end to this? Definitely supplying more weapons to Ukraine is not the answer! Some grown up should tell Ukraine to stop asking for weapons and think about negotiations. Infact they should have been told on day 1 of last year when the war started! I can't believe that some still believe in supplying weapons is the right thing to do.

Anyways SP500 is green as of now but all those who sold out of RR causing the drop would not buy in so quickly as they risk taking a position now. Also CPI Report is out tomorrow and FED instance need to be cleared up after this latest SVB debacle. I will add in small amounts but only after FED direction is clear.

What a fcking bunch of clowns running the economies and the govt. Biden doesn't want to back down from the war and so are the rest of his followers. It doesn't matter to them if the ordinary people are burned with high interest rates and yes high interest rates are due to the war. Provocation of China with Taiwan visits by US. All this nonsense is not needed. Now some rich bastards who don't feel pain with high interest rates comes here and asks how is it ok to allow Putin to invade. Well what the fcuk has improved since last year supporting Ukraine? Zelensky is taking down all of us along with UKR people. The clowns in the govts from West are supporting him and want to blame Putin for the crisis in all the countries. Putin doesn't care about what is happening to West, why would he?
With high interest rates everything is falling apart yet no one wants to back down. Oh god when is this world going to be normal again!

Explosive comments on Telegraph about Govt not supporting RR SMRs!
If UK govt cannot support RR SMR then why any other country would want RR SMRs? Yet ,RR did a great job in securing order from Czech!
