If you’re thinking of buying shares of Tesla Motors (TSLA), you might do as well consulting a Magic 8 Ball as an analyst report. The reason: So much depends on predicting what will happen well into the future.
Associated PressConsider this report from FBR’s Aditya Satghare, who explains what Tesla needs to do to head higher:
While management did not provide any updates on target mix for 2014, the ramp up in international sales through the rest of 2014 remains important to meet full-year 2014 shipment volumes. We believe the key to growing U.S. sales sustainably from current levels remains the launch of new variants of the Model S, the launch of a traditional leasing product for customers, and the upcoming launch of the Model X in Spring 2015. While we continue to acknowledge management�� strong execution in ramping up production and expanding into new markets, we believe that sustained upside in the stock will be dependent on success of the Gen 3, which is expected to be launched in 2017, and managing execution risk in the Giga factory project.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By John Udovich]
The shorts appear to be trying to crack small cap Tile Shop Holdings, Inc (NASDAQ: TTS)���meaning it might be worth taking a realistic look at the stock and any potential problems surrounding it plus the performance of other home improvement retailers or peers like Lumber Liquidators Holdings Inc (NYSE: LL), which is not into tiles, and The Home Depot, Inc (NYSE: HD) and Lowe's Companies, Inc (NYSE: LOW) which would be into tiles.

One home improvement stores player that insiders are active in here is Tile Shop (TTS), which operates as a specialty retailer of manufactured and natural stone tiles, setting and maintenance materials, and related accessories in the U.S. Insiders are buying this stock into major weakness, since shares are off by 38% so far in 2014.
Tile Shop has a market cap of $573 million and an enterprise value of $652 million. This stock trades at a premium valuation, with a trailing price-to-earnings of 45 and a forward price-to-earnings of 26. Its estimated growth rate for this year is -20.5%, and for next year it's pegged at 35.5%. This is not a cash-rich company, since the total cash position on its balance sheet is $3.53 million and its total debt is $96.15 million.
A director just bought 70,000 shares, or about $683,000 worth of stock, at $9.77 per share.
From a technical perspective, TTS is currently trending below both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bearish. This stock has been uptrending over the last few weeks, with shares moving higher from its low of $9.06 to its recent high of $11.58 a share. During that uptrend, shares of TTS have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed shares of TTS within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade.
If you're bullish on TTS, then I would look for long-biased trades as long as this stock is trending above some near-term support at $10.50 and then once it breaks out above some near-term overhead resistance at $11.58 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above that level with volume that hits near or above its three-month average volume of 688,592 shares. If that breakout materializes soon, then TTS will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $12 to its 50-day moving average of $12.99. Any high-volume move above $12.99 will then gi
