At $10,000/day, he's approaching TSLA long payoffs. Makes me wonder if going the youtube route would have been more lucrative than watching the TSLA stock ticker all day.
Nah, forget it. Too much work. I'll stick to watching the ticker.

Marques has been building his channel since he was 11. I'm a fan, he is a VERY good tech reviewer. I'm sure the anticipated mixed response to his unprecedented accepting of "Influencer Cash" is in part calculated to drive new eyeballs to his channel. The Buick video is clearly labeled throughout as a paid advertisement.
Oh, and he doesn't have a family to support as of yet.

I suggest we refocus back to TSLA and market action...




Never mind...as you were.

Media outlets seem intent on further increasing their irrelevance. I understand they want the clicks, but continually posting stories like "massive drop in registrations blah blah" when it's easily explainable and previous claims along those lines turned out to be a joke just makes people ignore the news even more. Model 3 was the best selling car in CA in Q1. I think demand isn't a problem WSJ.

If you did a pushup for every time the stock when up and down, your arms would be so sore.

Would make a fun drinking game though. Tesla @$993.52

After three hours, you'd be in need of medical attention I think....

It's nice to see FUD having diminishing returns nowadays. The SP used to be more sensitive to bearish fan fiction but I think we have moved on. It seems prevailing winds are upwards whenever MM's aren't manipulating for options expiry.

That's not a very catchy name for a drinking game.

It's the story of the WSJ who cried "demand problem." Somehow Tesla sales are perpetually "plunging" every month, and breaking records every quarter.

Can you explain to a moron what "low leverage stock" means/implies?

 

[Lycanthrope]

Looking ahead to next week, the handbrake at $1000 looks to be easing off

From the link @jhm posted:

Debt-to-Equity Ratio = Total Liabilities/Shareholders' Equity

This metric is a liquidity ratio that indicates the amount of financial risk a company bears. A company with a lower debt-to-equity ratio shows improved solvency for a company.

Can you explain to a moron what "low leverage stock" means/implies?

A business' total asset is financed through debts and equity. Low leverage means a low debt : equity ratio, meaning the meat of the business belongs to shareholders, not lenders. The Bible said debtors are slaves to lenders and this is not a slavery joke. During times of crisis, these companies are not at risk of premature termination due to inability to meet short term debt servicing obligation. So I think time is the operating concept. Given enough times, most companies can turn around and generate profits. A low leverage company just has more time on its hand. Much like a LEAP option is valued more than a weekly of the same strike because it has higher time value. This is an unnecessarily excessive amount of words and analogies to just to say HODL.
I said the same thing back in March

Some balance sheet recap before recession begins:
GM
D/E ratio: 1.43
Debts: $66B
Cash: $23B

Ford
D/E: 3.05
Debts: $101B
Cash: $35B

Tesla
D/E: 1.56
Debts: $12B
Cash: $8B

Guess who can weather a recession better?

Update: GM's D:E has changed to 1.83 from 1.43
General Motors Company (GM) Debt Equity Ratio (Quarterly) - Zacks.com
Ford went from 3.05 to 3.85
Ford Motor Company (F) Debt Equity Ratio (Quarterly) - Zacks.com
They all took on more debts, a lot of them
Meanwhile, Tesla went from 1.55 DOWN to 1.05, thanks to the equity raise in February
Tesla Inc (TSLA) Debt Equity Ratio (Quarterly) - Zacks.com
Would you look at that. I think I'm giving myself FOMO.
