Is Elon Musk Manipulating Tesla Stock?

The automaking giant's CEO could be playing with the company's shares on the stock index as per analysts' belief.

Tesla Motors has been growing as a successful automaking company for the past couple of years with the electric vehicles that it has been making which have proved to be one of the best hybrid cars being currently produced. During the initial stages when the firm was going through a difficult time to prove itself in the market, the firm’s CEO Elon Musk declared that he won’t be taking his salary from the company as long as it does not get out of the crisis it was facing. Musk not only enjoys that largest stake in the luxury car making a firm but also has an option of obtaining more shares. Even if those options are not taken into consideration, it cannot be ignored that around 23 percent of the whole firm is owned by the socialite.

Last week on Friday, Elon Musk was seen announcing a new update for the Model S car which made the analysts in the industry believe that he could even be carrying out some kind of manipulation on the shares of the smart car making company. Previously, the number of shares Musk owns in Tesla business came about to have a value of $6.3 billion whereas currently, the value of the shares has risen up to a massive $8 billion. The CEO of the firm seems to be gaining at a high speed as the net worth of the shares that he owns increases. After the announcements that were made by him last week, the following session on the stock index showed that Musk has a lot of control on the activity of the shares of his company as their value increased by a big difference on something that did not prove to be a major news.

Previously, analysts thought Musk was more worried about the kind of growth Tesla was going through and how it was holding up with it. But now, the attitude seems to have reversed as now analysts believe he is more concerned about the shares of the firm than the actual growth of the firm which has made them think if manipulation is being done by him in any way.

In the past when Tesla has made a small announcement, the shares of the firm have followed the same kind of activity and jumped by a mile. This looks to the analysts as if the CEO only wishes to increase the value of the shares on the stock index which is why he is carrying out little activities like these. Musk, however, has denied of any rumors related to this.

Is Fords Motors Carrying Out Positive Business Plans Under CEO Mark Fields?

Analysts believe that the kind of planning Mark Fields is carrying out for the company's future is going to take it ahead and head to head with rivals in the industry soon.

Fords Motors has been in the news again, this time around for investors and analysts wondering where the auto company is headed and if any new plans are being adopted by it or not. Before ex- CEO Alan Mulally had hold of the smart car making company, it was seen that the firm was seen to undergo some massive changes within the management that helped it to boost upwards on the scale.

In the year that Mulally was seen to join the firm, the loss that was reported by the auto giants came around at $30 million. Despite the fact, the firm did not become bankrupt as it was handled quite perfectly by the CEO. From that point onwards, the hybrid car makers did not look backwards and only showed massive signs of growth. Since the time the control of Fords has been given to new CEO Mark Fields, questions are now being raised as to where the firm is headed under his guidance. The investors wish to know the current situation of the auto giant that they are investing on and whether or not under Fields rule is the company going to perform any better.

As per the analysts believe, the firm needs to carry out a lot of plans in order to compete with the rivals in the industry. Some of these plans include the bringing back the Lincoln brand which has been long ignored an also apply the much needed changes in the company that are taking place in the industry at quite a quick pace.

Lincoln has been targeted by analysts in their researches as the luxury brand supported by Fords Company has long been forgotten due to the struggles it has faced in the market. The CEO of the firm was seen to inform its investors that the fact that they are not yet a proper part of the luxury car industry is something to be taken into consideration and it will be looked after by the management soon. The first step towards success is establishing Fords cars into the luxury vehicle industry which is going to make their position clear on the front.

Fields also believes that if the correct amount of attention is given to Lincoln luxury cars, then the profit that can be raised from the sector will be huge for the firm. The auto makers are also planning to release these cars to China as well, within a given time period of 2014-2020 by spending around $2.5 billion for the process to be carried out perfectly.

Bidness Autos - Tesla Might Get Offered An Acquistion Deal By Google

There have been rumors that suggest that Google might be considering buying the auto making giant on a massive deal signed on $275 per share.

Tesla Motors has been trading way up to high on the stock index since the time rumors have started circulating the air that the firm might just get acquired by Google Inc with a price per share settled at $275. This overly priced number has helped the price of the auto making company’s stock go right upwards. Keeping in mind the current share price, this acquisition at $275 per share shows an 11 percent upwards stance from the current price that the shares are trading on. These rumors have taken the attention of the analysts in the industry.

Previously there has been quite a lot of speculation related to acquisitions made by big companies in the start of the year 2015, as there were many rumors which suggested different tales. But so far, all the rumors that were heard in the past have yet not been materialized which shows that too much attention should not be given to the rumors that are commonly seen circulating in the industry.

Tesla Motors is an automobile company that deals in designing and manufacturing electric cars which are on of its kind. The smart car making company was the first one in the country to come up with such an idea and so far, the customers in the United States of America have been quite satisfied with the kind of hybrid cars that are being produced by the Silicon Valley-based company.

The cars that Tesla is usually seen making are luxury cars that are also a status symbol used by the elite class of the country. These cars are powered by electricity and the firm has also managed to establish quite a lot of electricity filling pumps across the country, in order to provide ease to the users who are driving the electric cars. The firm also launched its electric cars in China which was a huge step taken by the automakers but due to some problems, the cars did not put the same effect on the Chinese people as they did on the American customers which are why the company ended up receiving a negative response from the Asian region.

As for the buyout by Google that was rumored to take the place of Tesla on the social media networking site Twitter, there has been nothing but rumors. The base of these rumors are coming from a book written on the life of the CEO of the electric car making company, Elon Musk, who has mentioned that his firm reached out to Google (GOOG) for help back in 2012 when the smart car makers were going through a difficult financial time.
