$Tesla(TSLA.US)Beyond its car and robotics businesses, Tesla has another part of the story that doesn’t get nearly enough attention: energy storage. I think it‘s an important piece of the business that the market may still be overlooking.

After the midterm elections, Tesla sold off sharply as investors worried about potential political backlash and payback. But despite the drop, the market’s ability to absorb the selling has been surprisingly strong.

That kind of buying support is worth paying attention to. The headlines may be weighing on the stock for now, but there‘s clearly still demand underneath the surface.

Tesla’s future depends on more than vehicle deliveries. Improving automotive margins, scaling energy storage and converting AI ambitions into profitable businesses will be important factors in supporting its long-term valuation.

$TSLA 2X Long ETF(TSLL.US)

Context:

Tesla is entering an interesting new chapter. With FSD expanding into Finland and Cybercab getting closer to reality, I'm starting to see Tesla as more than just an EV company. Its autonomy ambitions could become a much bigger part of the story.

TSLA's recent pre-market strength is encouraging, and I'm staying optimistic about the direction.

My Trade:

I'm currently holding TSLL to get 2x daily exposure to Tesla. I like the upside potential, but I also know this isn't a position I can simply buy and forget.

I'm keeping a close eye on FSD progress, Cybercab execution and price momentum. If Tesla delivers, there's plenty to be excited about. Still, I'm not looking to let market excitement dictate my position size.

Takeaway:

I'm bullish on Tesla, but that doesn't mean I have to be reckless with TSLL.

The goal isn't just to catch the upside. It's to manage the downside well enough to stay in the game.

"Jumpy" markets currently especially with chip stocks trading up and down pretty quickly within the span of hours. Some of them were actually down in pre-market and are now up by 3%. This signals that investors/traders are still divided over the overall market sentiment- you have the buy the dip buyers as well as the short sellers simultaneously.

Markets seem to slide back a little after a bigger relief rally yesterday. Short term weakness and volatility is still evident and overall share prices are still at a discount compared to a few months back.

Markets are wild tonight. Might be going down before a sharp recovery next week. Might be a good time to DCA slowly as buying into red is always better compared to not knowing if the green will continue. Not financial advice and do your own research of your favourite stocks to DCA.

US stocks paused (SPX +0.2%, NDX flat) ahead of Tuesday’s inflation data, developments in the NVDA case and Anthropic’s IPO kickoff. Brent crude fell 3% to $90/bbl, and is now down 24% in 10 days on Trump’s more conciliatory Iran tone. The 10yr treasury yield inched ahead +0.2bp to 4.88%. Markets now price over 80% odds of a Fed hike next month. Tech stocks are mixed, with $NVIDIA(NVDA.US) +1.6% to $178; $Micron Tech(MU.US), $Marvell Tech(MRVL.US), $Broadcom(AVGO.US) all up slightly. $Tesla(TSLA.US) -0.5% and $SpaceX(SPCX.US) -0.4%. S&P 2026 EPS estimates ($369 +33% YoY, P/E 20x, earnings yield 5.0%) have shown no degradation since last week’s landslide Dem victories in the mid-terms. I remain cautious on $Tesla(TSLA.US) due to its extended valuation (2026 P/E 218x, PEG 4.8x), negative forward earnings revisions, and the continued commoditization of autonomy.

It’s CPI day. Tech has done well but it needs help to lift it up, up and away. Let’s hope the CPI data does the trick!
