Bears blindsided by Tesla Motors Inc. (TSLA) have been forced to buy $276 million worth of the automaker�� shares, pushing the company toward the biggest rally in the Russell 1000 Index (RIY) this year.
Tesla�� short interest, a measure of shares borrowed and sold on speculation they will fall, shrunk by 17 percent in the five days through May 13, after earnings that beat analyst forecasts and Consumer Reports gave the Model S sedan a top rating, data compiled by London-based Markit show. More than $3 billion in market value has been created as the stock jumped 50 percent to $83.24 since May 7.
The gains illustrate what�� possible when negative sentiment builds in a company and management is able to avoid disappointment. Short interest in Tesla was 40 percent of available shares as recently as April 19, more than 11 times the average of companies in the Russell 1000. While bears say the news on Elon Musk�� company will one day turn sour, for those who bet against it, last week was a shock.

What�� the Catch With Lexaria Corp? According to various disclosures, a transaction or transactions of $1k has or will occur to mention Lexaria Corp in various investment newsletters. Last Friday, Lexaria Corp announced it had closed its Private Placement financing announced on March 5 for gross proceeds of $1,272,000 ��higher than the originally announced $960,000 figure due to ��verwhelming demand.��Lexaria Corp will issue 10,600,000 common shares at US$0.12 and 10,600,000 full warrants that expire on September 21, 2016 with an exercise price of US$0.25.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Dan Caplinger]
Elsewhere, though, solar stocks continued their impressive advance from last week, with SolarCity (NASDAQ: SCTY ) rising 9% and SunPower (NASDAQ: SPWR ) climbing 6%. SolarCity announces earnings after the bell today, and the residential installer of solar systems has found strong growth from its business model of providing long-term financing to help homeowners install solar panels. Meanwhile, with SunPower making a presentation to analysts later this week, investors are hoping to see whether the company can outpace rival First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR ) , which has fully rebounded from brief losses after its earnings report last week was slightly less positive than it had led investors to believe. Solar energy has strong potential, and if a much-needed shakeout among Chinese competitors occurs, then these companies could see the benefits.
