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

[wipster]

This must be a joke. I think Nikola is just mad that they got the shittier end of the name and now just trolling.

I know whenever I hear that name I want to put a lozenge in my mouth, put on some shorts and suspenders, and go shout from a mountaintop.

Well. At least we don’t have to worry about the corona virus anymore.

Coronavirus outbreak: Trump says he expects virus to ‘go away’ in April as ‘heat comes in’ | Watch News Videos Online

Trump is one of those lucky people that just can't ever miss. Global warming will make it hot as hell in April, and good science/quarantine efforts will suppress the virus by then - and Trump will declare - I cured the Coronavirus!

Dont get me wrong. I like Some of thing things he is doing. Rebuilding our aging infrastructure is good. Spending money to get services to the rural areas is noble. But regardless of whether you hate and despise his policies, or love all of them like your first born child, the man has the shittiest personality of anyone I've ever encountered. Even on his TV show I couldn't STAND his cocky, arrogant, know-it-all, I'm god personality. I really thought he was doing it more for the show - until he became president and he was even worse.

I think 5G is a cellular network tech. It works in cities. More people, more cells.

Starlink will work best for low population density areas. Your bandwidth will be inversely proportionate to the number of pizza dish receivers under the satellites.

i may find it hard to stuff a pizza box size phased array antenna in my pocket.

It is acceptable in this thread to solicit practical advice on how to short sell certain auto makers?

Let's say for example that I wanted to increase my number of TSLA shares by 20% (maybe by exercising some ITM call options), but I have little cash to spend.
So instead I short sell a car maker that I think has really poor mid- and long term prospects and buy TSLA for the proceeds. How would the borrow rate compare to just buying on margin?

Many unorthodox, yet interesting questions. If these are deemed OT, I guess can always pose as a TSLA short seller on Twitter, there must be an enormous body of short-selling knowledge over there.

Perhaps you can get some info from this thread about shorting oil companies:

These start at 80K , how much do you think would they ask for a full size truck with wasted fuel cell space..

That's a cute ATV concept. Does it come with a free cybertruck too ?

Does the GM Battery guy have a clue and/or a chance?

• 300 miles on BEV alone
• 160kWh, flooded module — lithium-ion battery

300 miles from a 160 kWh battery doesn't seem that great to me..

am I reading it correctly? Susquehanna have now 12m shares? or are these some derivatives reported?

I reckon that they are deep-ish on batteries, but not suuuuper deep.

GM is deep-ish in batteries? Maybe you mean they are in deep sh!t?

They're deep. About a quarter-inch.

Yes, insane to think they would sell even 1 for that price. You could buy a tri motor CT have more power, play longer and likely even be more durable for $10k less!

Here is what listed on today headlines:

TD Ameritrade strategist explains why millennial investors have been buying ExxonMobil

Funny is that I just had discussion with my coworkers, older millenials (~40 ish) the other day before the news. He told me that Exxon is good stocks to have

His argument is that everyone needs gas and it is too big to fail.

I failed converting my coworker to TSLA, oh well..
I am hoping my coworker is wrong for the sake of our planet.

edit: adding few more rolling eyes

Personally I would be checking any work that person does....... if they are wrong about this ......

Anyone following China - should we be worried about China economy or not at this point? Some MSM's titles look alarming, but why should we trust them this time?

I am not a fan of spreading rumors but just received pretty detailed information that has been confirmed from 3 sources Herbert Diess CEO VW Group to leave VW and Blume (CEO Porsche) to take over the seat.

I also heard who takes the CEO role at Porsche and what the reasons are but lets wait if thats just a false rumor or true. To be honest it would be the first time my source tells me something thats not confirmed later.
Alex on Twitter

If true, the only question is whether they are replacing him because they're unhappy with his serious attitude towards EVs, or whether it's because they think he should be transitioning the company even faster.

For their sake I really hope it's the latter, because if the new CEO is going to some shill who milks the hell out of the ICE business for the coming years, I think we can say bye bye to VW.
