Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

You would be surprised by how much of Great Britain is pastoral countryside.
They have the land, but it's up to them in terms of utilizing it efficiently.
I am glad they don't end up paving most of that with concrete just to drive and park cars..
Very good article in Business Insider:
Tesla has booked two straight quarters of profits — here are the 5 biggest takeaways from that achievement

Neither you nor I know what Boudette intended, but I do not take that as an essential aspect of gaslighting (in part because intentions are often hard to discern). The word gaslighting is used more broadly than as you have limited it. You can cling to whatever semantics you wish. I have only tried to explain my use of the term. It's bad form on your part not to read the link I sent. The point was to have a better informed discussion.
After some prodding, Boudette has deleted his post.

No, I just don't get sports
The closest thing I get to understanding "sports people" is watching rocket launches.
Sports is just a way to keep the poeple distracted as politicians and their donors loot the country. The average person spends a lot more time watching/talking about sports that don't in anyway affect their life compared to public policy that profoundly affects their life.
Now that is, truly, one Mad Hatter of a roundabout.We are aiming to make UK roads impossible for EU drivers post Brexit:
Note how the inner roundabout goes the correct way for the rest of the world...
Interesting squiggly lane dividing lines, too.
Okay. Confusing as a pair of cat's pyjamas - as it gives a whole new dimension to the word "trolling".

In WA (atleast in Seattle Metro) - most cars are not compact - but most parking spots are compact.

Audi’s are also expensive to fix, the same simple fixe on a regular car can turn into a nightmare for Audi owners.
I used to think that but it is not that simple. Obsessing about sports goes back to the ancient Greeks and no doubt before that as well. Maybe it is a creation to distract people, but it wasn’t created by the criminals that routinely run countries, although they use it to their advantage whenever possible. More likely it is a creation of human society itself to promote cohesion and distract us all from our ultimate ends so as to further the species.

Ofcourse, its the modern version of tribal warfare.
But, sports, war and religion - that all have some basis in ancient needs of common people have also been routinely used by the elites to distract people.

I think sports is not overly complicated:
- sports is an incredibly popular form of (mostly harmless) entertainment,
- the most popular forms of sport have immense commercial funding (the NFL alone has a bigger combined annual budget than NASA ...),
- as absolutely every kind of entertainment sports is a (welcome!) distraction - that's the whole point of entertainment,
- it's (naturally) used by politicians to gain popularity and as distraction, (home team is going to win ~50% of a time so it's a surefire, low cost way for a politician to associate with success),
- and as almost everything human it's both social and tribal, inviting both friendship and sometimes violence.

Assuming Q1 ER announces sufficient profit for almost certain S&P inclusion on lets say 2nd May, when will the institutions start buying for their S&P500 ETFs?
Will they buy ahead of an S&P announcement - worried about a squeeze? If they don't, how long do they have before they fail regulation requirements? Presumably they actually have to own the shares. Can they loan the shares back to shorts?

A quick cheat sheet for TMC members not getting sports:
- The day when your team is playing the Superbowl: the day of the Q3 earnings report. You are trying to get real work done before the game, but who are we kidding?
- Your favorite wide receiver getting brutally faulted via a low helmet hit, and he pushes the linebacker after regaining consciousness, yet it is him who gets ejected: Elon's SEC fine.
- Your home team playing against the team who got caught cheating last season: @KarenRei debating Anton W, and you'll be re-watching the recorded game as well.
- Discussing sports referees with relatives: "the SEC is rigged!" consensus.
- Thinking about your home team playing against last year's Superbowl winner: thinking about the chances of "tiny" Q1 profits.
- Your home team's (in)famously outspoken quarterback giving a press conference: Elon hosting meme review. It might end up being incredibly funny, or it might get him suspended for 5 games!

Funny, but there is a lot of truth to your post. Regardless of the game, we need to have a team so we can feel joy when they win. It’s ingrained in our caveman brains. Following sports is a convenient way to fill that need, but TSLA is more interesting. And lucrative.
