CEO Elon Musk shocked Wall Street last week when he announced on Twitter that he was considering taking the company private. He said he had "funding secured" for a deal, but didn't say where the money would come from.
On Monday, he said the financing referred to talks he has had with Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund. Then on Tuesday, the Tesla board said it wasn't clear yet that going private made sense.
So, should you buy, sell or short Tesla?
Matt McCall, founder and president of Penn Financial Group, an investment manager, will join CNN's Alison Kosik to talk about it Wednesday on "Markets Now."

The stock market finished the session mixed on Thursday, with investors initially reacting negatively to news of a big drop in retail sales during December but then gradually regaining confidence over the course of the day.
