Tesla Inc (TSLA) is up over 13% today on two surprise announcements. Andrew Left of Citron Research who was a boisterous critic of stock, multi-year short seller and party to a post-Elon Musk “funding secured” tweet lawsuit is now touting that “Tesla is destroying the competition.” And Tesla has decided to hold a conference call on Wednesday and release its 3^rd quarter results, a week earlier than its usual first week of November timetable. Both developments were viewed as positive and a welcome turnabout for long shareholders who have been engulfed in negative news regarding SEC charges and C-Suite uncertainty. As a result, Tesla’s stock price has been rallying since the opening bell.
