Pushing Tesla $400 and Tesla's market cap exceeds $70 billion

[tacobell fan]

It happened. 

As of today, Tesla hit a market cap of 69 billion dollars.

This is the most recent milestone on the way to a stock price of $420 per share. These goals, to some extent, are light-hearted jokes amongst investors, greatly fueled by Elon Musk and his rampant Twitter meme-ing. 

Tesla stock has been on an absolute bull run the past two weeks. Short interest has dropped heavily, likely contributing to the rise.

Short selling stocks is a strategy to use when you expect a stock’s price will decline. The traditional way to profit from stock trading is to “buy low and sell high”, but you do it in reverse order when you wish to sell short. To sell short, you sell shares of a security that you do not own, which you borrow from a broker. After you short a position via a short-sale, you eventually need to buy-to-cover to close the position, which means you buy back the shares later and return those shares to the broker from whom you borrowed the shares. You can make a profit from short selling if you buy back the shares at a lower price.

When you trade stocks in the traditional way (“buy low and sell high”), the maximum amount that you can lose is your initial investment. However, when short selling stocks, your losses are theoretically unlimited, since the higher the stock price goes, the more you could lose. You will be charged interest only on the shares you borrow, and you can short the shares as long as you meet the minimum margin requirement for the security.

 

A Stock-Shorting Scenario 

This simplified scenario illustrates the mechanics of shorting a stock. Imagine you wanted to short 100 shares of The Coca-Cola Company (KO) because you thought it was going to report lower-than-expected earnings as a result of the strong dollar depressing its income.

 

The stock was trading at $43.15 per share. You borrow the one hundred shares from your broker, with a market value of $4,315, and sell them, pocketing the cash. Two different scenarios could play out.

 

A Profitable Outcome

A year later, you are still sitting on the short position, The stock declined by 20% to $34.52 per share. You buy it back 100 shares for $3,452. Your profit before commissions and other charges is $863 on the short sale itself, for a net profit of $731

 

A Loss Situation

 

Alternatively, say that the day after you short the stock, the company makes an announcement that it’s being acquired for $80 per share. You must now repurchase the 100 shares, paying $8,000 for the replacement. Your loss before commissions and other charges is $3,685 ($8,000 - $3,452 = $3,685).
