TREND1, how soon before Tesla (TSLA) adds these to major cities? If they charge even a small fee, that could turn into a whole new revenue stream!
TREND1, regarding a $35,000 price range, that's great news! Do you have the article on hand? I was not aware of the price for the battery, seems to be a fair price. Even though midsize gas vehicles are cheaper, it doesn't factor changing parts, oil, etc. Which could quickly add up to +$8,000. I had a friend's dad who is a General Motors (GM) engineer that holds Tesla (TSLA). When I first started investing a couple years ago he told me to buy, when I asked if he had any stock picks. This was when it was roughly $20. I shrugged it off and never looked into it. I've learned a lot since then. I should have thought to myself, "A GM engineer that holds TSLA shares, this has to be good!" Oh well, you live and learn right?
ofspring, it's one fast vehicle! I know I'm stuck in my ways. Something about changing the oil, wrenching on the car and switching parts out to improve performance. I admit it's hard when I have grown up around old muscle cars. Lot's of cost saving and environmental benefits. I would be more interested when range becomes longer and charge time becomes shorter.
TREND1, I believe that price range would be affordable for the middle class. Here is my point, take Apple (APPL) for an example. For APPL to gain more market share, APPL must adapt to attract their competitors business. This means making a less expensive product, without sacrificing the product making it unattractive for the consumer. Great strategy for APPL, consumer is satisfied and the company gains more business.
Apply this same logic towards Tesla (TSLA). I believe TSLA should manufacture a less expensive product. I do believe that once TSLA gains the market share of the middle class consumers, that TSLA will really worry General Motors (GM), Toyota (TM), Nissan (NSANY), FORD (F) and others. Don't misunderstand; I believe they have great high-end sports and luxury cars. The average family looking for an electric vehicle as a grocery getter or to haul their kids around isn't looking for the car that goes 0-60 in less than 4 seconds. I'm not here to bash TSLA, it's a wonderful company. I just know if they would manufacture a more affordable vehicle, they would have other car manufactures shaking in their boots.
BaylorTradeKing, thank-you for immature response. I doubt you will be able to hold an intelligent conversation with me, but let me please explain myself. I simply prefer natural gas to electric vehicles. If I chose an electric vehicle, I would choose Nissan Leaf or Smart Electric Drive. From a price perspective, I don't find Tesla models worth the MSRP. I don't know where you reside, but in America we have the right as consumers to drive what we choose.

ECole, I'd rather buy a Corvette for the same price range, give or take. Not including the gas I'd spend to drive it. I'm bad enough keeping my iPhone charged up, let alone a car.
ComeXOilTrader, possible. What's your reasoning?
expediter13, I agree. Facebook would make a great candidate. Facebook's (FB) pages are very unorganized and inaccurate. I'm honestly surprised Apple (APPL) hasn't bought Yelp (YELP). APPL integrates YELP into their maps application. Google (GOOG) integrates it's mapping software into APPL's map application as well. GOOG's newly acquired Waze application would also work great with YELP. Russell Simmons co-founder and CTO of YELP sold Phat Farm and Def Jam, so he could sell YELP. There are just too many factors to look at and the amount of tech companies that could be interested, are endless. Like I said before, we could guess all day long. I don't like YELP because it's too expensive and not profitable yet. I believe it could be profitable next quarter.
ison929, I agree. These items are holding back BAC's potential. I also believe BAC being taken from the DJIA to DJI could have some effect, but not as big of an issue.
What exactly is going on here, no volume and N/A?
This is too overvalued.
I saw a Tesla model on the road for the first time today!
Rick001, are you still here?
moneymaker$, I believe we won't pass the 52-week high until quarterly earnings are released.
ComeXOilTrader, I believe Yahoo (YHOO) would be the first to buy YELP. With YHOO's CEO Marissa Mayer acquiring a hand full of companies since she has taken the position, I'm sure it's crossed her mind more then a few times. Though who knows, could be anyone.

Looking at the LT chart, it's starting to show bullish signs. I believe we will get out of this flat line and start to work our way up to the $14.70 range this week. $14.75 if short term signs are strong, which I find possible, but very unlikely.
Ando Financing Firm, I believe you have misunderstood. The board is new, the company's IPO is not. VNO went public in 1957, but actually at that time the company was Two Guys. VNO bought out Two Guys around 1982 I believe.
In regards, to newly public companies, price has no involvement. Take a well known company such as Berkshire Hathaway for an example. BRK's IPO price was $11.40 I think in 1964. In today's money that IPO would be $85.90. I'm sure there are some other IPO's that have been priced higher, but I thought I would save myself the time of digging for that information. Point is, newly public companies don't have to trade low in they're early years.

I like BAC's CEO Brian T. Moynihan! When I choose an investment, I don't look at the key people of that company. Though after doing a little bit of due diligence about Mr. Moynihan, I feel even more confident here with BAC. Mr. Moynihan went to law school and has experience in that field. This is a good thing, especially with the multiple on going legal battles. I believe Mr. Moynihan can use this to his advantage.The downside is that he doesn't have much experience being at the helm of such a large company. Looking at his track record, he did make his way to the top. This lessons the concern, which leads me to believe he earned it. I think Mr. Moynihan might be around for roughly 4 more years. In all respect Mr. Moynihan is getting old and I'm sure he's looking to retire soon. If he did choose to resign, I believe he would stay on the board. BAC is still a mess and is still has much more room from improvement. I respect Mr. Moynihan for cleaning-up this big mess that Ken Lewis and others made.
