Fake news never ceases to amaze me

Is seeking alpha related in any way to the Washington post or the New York Times?

I wish. I have trouble finding who supports them outside of they are based in Israel. Obviously the more clickbait they have the more site traffic they get they get so its in their best interest to keep the outrageous TSLA short articles coming. I think a majority of "news" site operate this way now.

I am sure they will publish an equally well researched blog next month showing how Model 3 sales have skyrocketed month over month by an incredible 10000% when Bolt is stagnating at 2% increase.

Huh? Did you guys go through a bad divorce that we're not aware off?

I don't see how you can Zenmaster's response can be seen as a defense of SA.

lol, if you ever wondered where the discernment level is at. There wouldn't be a market for "fake news" without such blind bias.

@deonb if I misread his initial post (#29), which is entirely possible, then I apologize. It read as a defense of the SA blog post, and it almost reads like he's the author of the piece in question coming here to defend it.

I think you guys are in such violent agreement about how useless the source of the "news" is that you're arguing about who can discredit it the most.

Suggested new topic: A President came out of Church and talked about Immigration... I'm sure you'll find something in that sentence to ACTUALLY disagree on .

Like the buttons say, disagree. Some things I like, other things I disagree with. You can see which is which by the direction the thumb is pointing. Since you didn't ask me why I like some posts, I won't answer why I disagree with others.

Ok, but when you agree with the argument presented, there's not much to add. When you disagree with an argument, it could be for any number of reasons. So clicking "disagree" begs the question "why?".

Your evidence ?

Addendum: You are right, the company is based in Israel.
The evidence seems to point to the founder being an Oxford educated Brit who emigrated to Israel.

This is just a provocative headline, in the tradition of headlines since the advent of print journalism. It's not "fake news." Let's not use that term the way that Trump does to mean "news I don't like" or "news that makes me uncomfortable."

That's a sweeping generalization, and one that is often wrong, on both points.

 

[zenmaster]

"News" in this country has really gotten blurred. The lines between fact-based reporting and opinion have been lost. I'm not sure you can take this position anymore.

Neither the article writer nor the organization presented this as news, but rather an opinion based on rationalization for a short sell of the stock. SA actually has a separate news feed with news.

Another fake site sets target on tesla.

Seeing Alpha is mostly made up stuff. I stopped looking at it long ago. It's the last place one would go for investment insights.

Stupid article. The Bolt is forsale to the general public while the M3 is not. Average Joe can walk in off the street and buy a Bolt but they can't buy an M3 since it's not yet available....unless I missed something
