If I was on the Tesla board and discussing timing of a buyback I would certainly be waiting until the trading window closes on Elon before doing anything. I wonder if there's a chance they announce something in the coming days now that the selling pressure from the CEO has given them a very...

Is it too late to give this guy another shot? 😂

Longtime listener/first time caller here. I have no doubt Elon is an excellent engineer and visionary, which is the reason I have a large portion of my net worth tied to Tesla. But as a physician with a fairly decent understanding of infectious diseases, public health, and epidemiology, a lot...

I was at the Toronto Yorkdale location around 8pm to make a reservation and there was still a bit of a wait. The sales guy estimated 2000 reservations over the course of the day. That's a lot of cars!

Not to mention the way TFSAs are set up in Canada. Believe it or not, although gains are never taxed in Canada, the United States IRS can (and will) tax you on dividends paid by American companies. Even if you are not an American citizen. Since you're still being taxed by someone, there is very...
