"It’s not short-sellers covering their positions that’s been driving up Tesla’s stock price, according to Mark Spiegel, who runs a small hedge fund that’s short the company. But he does have other suspicions."

You could drive legally at 16 yrs old w. just a few hours of training. Yet there still exist professional drivings schools and graduated racing licences. Why?

To get better.

Imagine that AP has one accident per 500,000 miles. Add on 9 and that’s one per 5 million miles. If you have 10 million cars on the road, that’s still accidents every day. How many billions in insurance savings is adding 2, 3 or 5 9’s to human or early FSD reliability. Every 9 will likely be 10 times harder to solve then the last, so Dojo will probably evolve over time. Who knows, maybe Tesla can apply this to making a smarter robot vacuum cleaner. I would guess adding the early 9’s will save billions and make FSD more valuable.

What other companies are you invested in? I feel like I need to start diversifying more. I know that's taboo to say on here, but I'm a bit paranoid.

I like ARKG (genomics) a lot. Because it's in a completely unrelated industry and the technology is just becoming ripe for huge breakthroughs.

Balanced article on Tesla shorts. Didn't see anything new, but a nice summary nevertheless. ‘The Longest Unprofitable Short I’ve Ever Seen.’

Screw that article I got this far..

"It’s not short-sellers covering their positions that’s been driving up Tesla’s stock price, according to Mark Spiegel, who runs a small hedge fund that’s short the company. But he does have other suspicions."

Any article that ask bathroom boy is verboten to me.

Well, I'm trying to use my magical powers to move the SP higher. I sold another 10 covered calls for Jan 2022, 3500 SP for $290,000 to pad my savings account further. That should help the SP get to 4,000 in 15 months so I feel stupid for selling covered calls as I watch my shares get called away. You're welcome....

Was just going to post the same ! Yesterday they got the permit, today they´re driving piles for the stamping section! They mean business at GF Berlin.

Tobi Lindh mentioned that, based on his real-time measurements, it takes 8 minutes between consecutive piles. Assuming he means 8 minutes for each pile driver (there are two) and considering the 500 or 550 piles that are needed for the Stamping section (can’t remember the exact number), it should take them less than 40 hours of work to finish — closer to 35h. So they should be done late this week, assuming they started yesterday afternoon or early this morning.

I’d be all over that. The Golden Retriever hair is like tumbleweeds around here sometimes.

If it weren't for those meddling kids on Robinhood with their $1200 checks, Tesla would be bankrupt! Shakes fist.

/s

what is the actual proportion between institutional investors and retail investors?

How much of it is it that people love their Tesla's to volunteer vs how much people hate dealerships to never want to volunteer at say a Dodge sales event.

70/30

I found Spiegel's June 2020 letter to shareholders of his Stanphyl Capital Fund. I wanted to see his track record to date since starting in 2011. Doing very well! For comparison TSLA is up about 4700% from June 1, 2010 to July 1, 2020.

"Since inception on June 1, 2011 the fund is up 43.0% net while the S&P 500 is up 178.6% and the Russell 2000 is up 93.0%. Since inception the fund has compounded at 4.0% net annually vs 11.9% for the S&P 500 and 7.5% for the Russell 2000."

Privilege? I won't get into this. All i am saying is people have 'choices' in life. What you make out of them is entirely up to you.

Great genetic potential
Good parenting
A good education system
A series of good choices presented at the same time of good opportunities

I have to admit...some are given better tools to succeed in life, however it is what they make of it. My parents were both immigrants and came to the United States with nothing to their names. Did it prevent me from 'succeeding' in life? It actually made me want to have a better life after seeing their struggles. The 'immigrant mentality' has stuck with me throughout my life and I am absolutely thankful for them taking a leap of faith and coming to the US. Now with $TSLA, it makes life a little easier, but i will always have the same mentality.

ARKK calls.

They use to be thinly traded. Now thickly traded.

Agree, but ARKG and ARKF (the non-TSLA funds) for me. Strong, steadily performers so far. Just doubled my position. Not advice.
