I was born on 6 August 1956 in San Francisco, California to Janet and (the late) Richard Hovis. I grew up in Santa Monica, California where I attended elementary, junior high school, and high school (graduating in 1974), in addition to involvement in sports and recreation (Little League +, the Boy’s Club ++). Further, it was in elementary school – St. Augustine’s By-the -Sea Parish School that I found, and made the choice to truly journey with God. I attended Arizona State University from 1974 to 1977 – seeking to become an architect, however, I was not accepted, and, as such, I graduated with a Liberal Arts degree. Upon graduation from Arizona State University, I attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and studied City and Regional Planning at the Master’s level. I successfully completed one (1) year in a two (2) year program – I did not complete the Master’s degree in City and Regional Planning – due to personal reasons. I returned to Santa Monica where I started (October 1979) my career as graphic designer with Exxon Company, USA. I spent five years with Exxon Company, USA. While working with Exxon Company, USA I was accepted into architectural school – Sci-Arc in Southern California, however, I did not attend preferring to stay with Exxon.. In 1982 I married Laura Flosi and in April 1983 we had our one and only child – Lauren Alain Hovis – a gift from God. We moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1984 from Los Angeles, where I went to work as a graphic designer with Kitchell CEM (from 1985 -1987). From 1987 – 1995 I was an independent contractor, and a registered representative in mortgage finance, financial management, graphic design, and drafting. Further, I attended the University of Phoenix and successfully obtained a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) in 1982. I was also a member of the Scottsdale Jaycees, where I became very involved in community events and projects. In 1994, I accepted a cartography position with the Defense Mapping Agency in Reston, Virginia. As such, I relocated from Phoenix to Reston. In 1998, I was accepted and worked as a Visual Information Officer with the Central Intelligence Agency. In 2002, I worked as a Support Officer until my retirement (due to a need for shoulder surgery) in September 2018. Away from my Federal Government service, I have been involved in various organizations and activities in Northern Virginia. In November of 2011, I married Rebecca Ouellette in Santa Monica, California. I reside in San Tan Valley, AZ with my two hamster - Jess and Timothy, our fish, our lizard - RJ Lizard., and our cats - Pearl and Grey. As to hobbies, I enjoy playing sports, attending sporting events, mentoring individuals from financial management to hamsters, building models, photography, travel, multimedia design, managing partner for RJ Hamster, and jazz – smooth jazz to a samba or a bossa nova.

3 Signs Tesla Is Starting December on the Front Foot

Written by Sam Quirke. Article Published: 12/4/2025.

Key Takeaways

  • Tesla’s stock has bounced off key support, keeping its uptrend intact.
  • Analysts are taking bullish stances with fresh upside targets.
  • Strong data out of China and an expanding robotaxi fleet are fueling optimism heading into the new year. 

Shares of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) closed just under $430 on Tuesday — about 12% above its recent low near $385. For a stock that has spent the past three months stuck in a tight range, that is a meaningful move and suggests the bulls may be regaining control.

With December now underway, Tesla appears to be finding its footing after a volatile autumn. A combination of technical strength, improving analyst sentiment, and better operational momentum is helping investors reset expectations heading into year-end. Here are three reasons Tesla is starting December on its front foot—and one risk to watch.

Reason #1: Technical Strength Is Back

They wrote silver off as a “boring metal,” but its move above $33 has forced analysts to reconsider what’s really driving this market. With AI hardware, EVs, solar, and next-gen electronics all dependent on silver — while global supply continues to lag — this quiet setup is starting to look like one of the most overlooked opportunities in the commodities space.

Most investors still haven’t connected the dots, which is why this new silver forecast guide breaks down the fundamentals behind the move, the real pressure building beneath the surface, and the steps to consider before silver becomes front-page news.Get the Silver Forecast Now

Tesla’s chart has quietly been building strength since the end of last month. The bounce from $385 marked a successful defense of the rising trendline that’s been in place since April, and the resulting higher low confirms the uptrend remains intact.

$385 is a key level the stock tested twice in November, and both times buyers stepped in aggressively. From a technical perspective, that resilience indicates there’s still conviction behind the shares despite months of choppy trading.

Momentum indicators support this view. The relative strength index (RSI) has risen from near-oversold levels, suggesting buying interest is returning, while the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) has logged a bullish crossover, signaling a potential next leg higher.

Taken together, these technical readings make a strong case that Tesla’s price action is increasingly in the hands of the bulls.

Reason #2: Analyst Support Is Strengthening

Sentiment on Wall Street has been largely positive in recent weeks, which is helping the stock regain momentum.

Last week, Mizuho reiterated its Outperform rating with a $475 price target, implying roughly 10% upside from current levels.

That followed Stifel Nicolaus reaffirming its Buy rating and raising its target to $508, one of the more bullish calls on the Street and implying close to 20% potential gains.

Both updates point to renewed confidence in Tesla’s growth pipeline and technology edge, particularly around its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software and next-generation vehicle programs.

Analysts note that with costs stabilizing, margins improving, and key projects like the Cybercab progressing, Tesla is entering 2026 on firmer footing.

Reason #3: Operational Metrics Are Turning Positive

Beyond sentiment, Tesla’s real-world performance is beginning to flash green again after a challenging year. For example, the company plans to double its robotaxi fleet in Austin this month, a move that underscores management’s confidence in the program and its underlying technology.

Meanwhile, sales in China, one of Tesla’s key markets, have picked up noticeably. A recent update showed shipments in November rose about 10% year-over-year, marking Tesla’s second-best month for Chinese sales this year.

That is encouraging given the competitive pressure in China’s EV market and tight pricing throughout the year. Together, these developments show a business that continues to execute operationally despite broader macro uncertainty.

One Risk: European Weakness

Not all regions are firing on all cylinders. Tesla’s performance in Europe remains under pressure: registrations fell 49% in Denmark and nearly 60% in France last month compared with a year earlier. While those are relatively small markets, they highlight ongoing brand and demand challenges that could weigh on sentiment if they spread.

This slowdown has been visible for months and is largely priced into expectations. Still, with European consumer sentiment soft and competition heating up, investors should monitor these trends. If they worsen, they could limit Tesla’s ability to expand margins through 2026.

Holding the Line Into Year-End

For now, Tesla’s rebound into December suggests the bulls have the upper hand again. The technical picture has solidified, analysts are leaning bullish, and the company’s core metrics continue to impress where it matters most—China and its autonomy roadmap.

If the stock holds above $430 in the coming weeks, it would further confirm that momentum has returned. That would set the stage for a stronger start to 2026, assuming macro conditions remain supportive and execution stays sharp.
