Tesla stock has had a big run since the mid 2019 lows. Many people are asking for comparisons between the run-up in the price today versus what happened in 2013. I take a look at what drove the run-up in 2013 and how it compares to the situation today from a fundamental and a technical standpoint. I also compare the Tesla situation to the VW short squeeze in 2008 and spend some time going over the events that led up to the 2008 event. The VW situation was much different. A very popular hedge fund trade involved arbitraging the value of different share classes in Europe. For example, the ordinary shares of a company might trade at a premium to preference shares in the same company because the preference shares carried no voting rights. I'll dig into how this dynamic affected the trading of VW. 4:45 - Elon makes less than minimum wage 5:25 - What happens to TSLA stock if Elon delivers on his tagets?
