Initial analogue for teslas potential
inclusion was yahoo stock back years ago. Being indexed raised the
stock over 50% quite rapidly. Now say what you like about Wall Street
being corrupt and greedy, but they aren’t stupid. The very last thing
that they want is added volatility right now for the stock or the
broader market. https://twitter.com/zerohedge/status/1283833796186513411?s=21
Particularly when the earnings per vehicle are absolutely overvalued to
begin with, at my last check it was in the $600,000 range of earnings
per vehicle.
Looking at the week
ahead though we have a more pressing issue; A stock with a good balance
sheet, cash on hand, excellent free cash flow, happy customers, excess
demand and now they’re missing piece; profitability. If rumours to the
facts are correct, 40% profit margin in China, in excess of 30% for the
new Y. These financial metrics are complete game changes. So much so
that hedge fund analysts have had to call-in help recently from mega cap
analysts to sanity check the figures. (There is a citation out that I
can’t find right now)
Financial
news television was on fire on Wednesday as every channel questioned and
interrogated investment fund managers about any holdings that they had.
CNBC a great example, having BlackRock’s Rick Rieder on, speaking very
nervously about this Tesla stake. He sold out at 1,000 yet still holds a
personal stake and even drives a Tesla!

Jim
Cramer also arguing with David on the show about being a battery
believer and “being aware of a major issue...” Kramer also reiterating
his over six month old Stants that oil and gas companies are dead as
well. https://youtu.be/HrmrtARhCD4
So, what are these major issues we are looking at here over the next few short weeks?
Gary
Black on Twitter has been recovering fairly extensively in the broader
implications of changes to the valuation of the stock. In this analysis
it shows that the stock beta Is likely to fall from 1.5 to 1.25. https://twitter.com/garyblack00/status/1283038718912352256?s=21
Margin requirements on tesla were tightened and some were tapped out of the market quickly. In Monday’s price spike.
Moody’s rating Agency have also been rumoured to be reviewing teslas credit rating, Which currently sits at “B”.

A
looming short squeeze is on the horizon with +500k individual
Robbinhood potential bag holders looking to now wait for full year
upside earnings of something in the 2,000 range by new analyst
estimates.
Beyond this, for
S&P inclusions, approximately 1/5 Free float shares are required to
be bought by index institutions. Again with an incredibly large number
of individual holders of the stock. This combined with a fortresslike
balance sheet, comprising of good free cash flow profit and cash on hand
make this a difficult thing for index funds to achieve without further
upsetting the market. Especially assuming at this very point in time
there is no true reasons for Tesla to issue any new shares float or
raise capital. Further to this, Rob Mauer of The Street and Tesla Daily
Podcast sought comment from an index fund manager familiar with the
issue. The anonymous response to this inquiry was “Yes we are aware of
this, and we are looking into it” https://youtu.be/JN8PNPBkaWc
The current discrepancy by my count, by years end, is as it stands
today $22 billion of short position, as well as anything up to $40b or
more indexing to be added.
However,
we know several things about the looming S&P inclusion. If you go
by Rob’s analysis, Teslas current value lifts the entire value of the
S&P at this time. It also has skipped the S&P 400 list
completely meaning that very few of the existing funds have Tesla shares
in the portfolio. However, there are two issues to this as well.
Teslas inclusion could create a sell-off for some already weakened
stocks.
Many other fund managers
including ARK invest, Gerber Kawasaki, famed Investor Ron Barron, and
just about everyone else on the street right now still wants to buy in.
However the rules around risk mean that they have to contain a balanced
portfolio when it comes to the stock. Cathy Wood of ARK Invest famously
making a 6000% personal return on Tesla calls at the start of the year.
Behind closed doors, it seems that this is not just the hot stock of the
moment, but it’s the insane growth stock of the future which is far
less risky than the existing beta has led us to believe. With analysis I
have seen showing a possible annual run rate of +1.1m capacity for
possible for cars, and failing to sell cars, cells can be used for
stationary storage, accelerating charging deployment, powerwalls,
powerpacks, solar, more software. All with excellent margins. It has
been widely cited that the company is supply constrained on all fronts.
Doubt it? There are close to 750k cybertruck orders waiting to be
filled. Could they deliver 250k in the first 12m run? My engineering
& design history says easily.
Beyond
this, the broader societal impact of what’s about to happen include
having to buy into a extremely profitable business that is pro
renewables and pro sustainability. This while devaluing all other
assets. Some of the assets that come to mind as less valuable now are
rapidly declining future growth potentials for fossil fuel companies. So
at this juncture, the idea behind ideology when it comes to risky
investments means that $tsla as a stock has now just devalued oil and
gas significantly now by proving it’s profitable and expanding far
quicker than anyone had thought. This one stock inclusion, by default
now devalues everything else. And with $60 billion missing from the
share account, or street now has to question which leg they want to chop
off to get into the growth for tomorrow.
It’s
also no surprise that this week, Joe Biden has announced a $2 trillion
fund for renewables with an emphasis on job creation for the next 15
years if he is elected.
Fiat Chrysler group have this week’s been out a new future car start up. And Honda have announced a partnership with CATL batteries.
To top it off, New York city just yesterday announced a $750 million EV charging fund to spur growth in infrastructure.
So
now that we have a broad understanding of the setup that confronts us;
What is the linchpin here? What is the catalyst that starts this rapid
change?
Probably two things,
Teslas earnings and reports will Wall Street a very clear
black-and-white idea of where the situation currently lies and what is
technically possible from this point. But at this point, everyone is
wanting to get more Tesla on their balance sheets while off loading dud
assets
One way that existing
balanced fund managers could play this would be to swap options, Tesla
shares For other stocks in the fund portfolio. Doing this would
significantly lift the overall fund value while drawing down on Teslas
weighting in the fund. This however also drops the value of other
investment funds potentially by leaving them with the aforementioned bad
oil and gas assets.
Finally, Jim Cramer has indicated a top out on July 28th. As shown here. This after Teslas call on the 22nd. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/14/jim-cramer-charts-suggest-sp-500-climb-will-stall-out-in-late-july.html
How would I play this? NFI. Probably go big on VOL/VIX while this all shakes out. We’re about to see some serious shit.
