| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody Rob Mower here. |
| 0:07.0 | Rob Mower here. |
| 0:09.0 | Good to be back after a long Labor Day weekend, though not the best day to come back to for Tesla's stock, as this was |
| 0:15.0 | Tesla's worst trading day in history, down 21% or $88 post split, 440, pre- Split Split to $330.21 per share. |
| 0:26.3 | That did compare to the Nasdek |
| 0:27.4 | which also had a very tough day, down 4%, |
| 0:29.8 | continuing the drop in the macros that started |
| 0:32.1 | middle of last week. |
| 0:33.6 | Not so fun fact, Tesla's market cap today declined by more than the total valuation of the company |
| 0:38.2 | at this point last year. |
| 0:40.0 | The 21% drop eclipsed previous 19% drops in single day trading for Tesla, the first of which happened back in 2012 when the stock dropped from a post-split adjustment price of just $5.65 per share down to $4.56 per share and then earlier this year |
| 0:57.3 | there was also another 19% drop in March. In fact of the six biggest |

| 1:09.0 | biggest single day percent gains, to get four of those instances happening this year you have to go all the way out to include 18 of Tesla's biggest days. |
| 1:17.0 | So four of the six worst days, four of the 18 best days, which I don't think is what you would naturally expect, given the performance |
| 1:23.8 | over all of Tesla this year. |
| 1:26.4 | The point is that these volatile sharp down days are not necessarily indicative of poor performance |
| 1:31.0 | of the company or poor future performance. |
| 1:33.4 | It's also worth considering that today's single performance takes into account |
| 1:37.1 | everything that happened over the weekend as well as on Monday so it's really sort of |
| 1:40.1 | four days compacted into one. |
