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

[Prunesquallor]

That’s a small one. Is that on I10? The I35 one is like a Walmart.

I just grabbed some random images. The outside shot is actually Jacksonville.

CNBS reports Bloomberg "rumor" Apple accelerating an autonomous EV by 2025, believed to be from "reliable sources."

That's why TSLA starting to tank, AAPL shooting up.

Just unloaded all of my AAPL, cost basis was $28.28. Need an IRA loan for a downpayment to close in 6 months on a house being built (25 foot deep garage for a CT) and was dreading selling TSLA to borrow from the IRA.

I'm so happy, I'm going to go out and get my hair cut.

In 6 months, when I repay the IRA loan, those same funds will fund a lot more TSLA shares.

Given the fact that there was scrap from the Gigapress being operational a week or so ago at GigaBerlin, odds are these are made in Berlin

Noting the 3 different colors to fully qualify the paint shop I presume?

 

[Ogre]

Sure.

But

A) The union clause is like 98.97% going away before passage

B) Even if it didn't, a pure BEV from GM would still get another $3500 on top the PHEV would not.

So the claim PHEVs and BEVs are treated the same simply ain't so.

Again I'd be more than ok with making them even more unequal in favor of BEVs- but equal they are not even now.

A) I mentioned that.
B) I think there is *one* BEV which meets this criteria on the market right now. The Chevy Bolt.

If the legislation were to pass with the union clause (unlikely as I pointed out previously), most shipping PHEVs would be treated *better* than most shipping EVs. Even future releases, most EVs will be treated worse than PHEVs under the proposed union friendly legislation.

Buc-ee's. Just for a sense of scale:

The two I have seen here in Florida and Georgia so far had TWO rows of gas pumps like that! HUGE!

Guess we have different definitions of "multiple".

That chart doesn't help your case. Unless you think Tesla is about to go in a major downtrend, Monday was the bottom. A lower "low" than Monday at this point would signal a downtrend. You might see low 1,000's if you're lucky but I seriously doubt sub 1,000 at this point.

Ahh. Modernizing the Döner Kebab. I like.

As a native Californian, I read that as Donner Kebab. Now that would be an autogyro!

If you're wondering why that's funny (or not), look up "Donner Party."

 

[Electroman]

I think we know enough now that we can add another couple lines to this:

First they ignore you.
Then they laugh at you.
Then they fight you.
Then you win.
Then they demand your money.
Then they give credit to someone else.

LOVE IT

Electrek - this morning: Joe Biden gives GM CEO Mary Barra credit for ‘electrifying the entire auto industry,’ but he’s wrong

 

[BriansBucketList]

your posting is very timely... i had a meeting with my bank this morning who suggested i entrust my retirement acct (full of TSLA) over to them so that they can diversify it (aka sell all) into cash/bonds/GIC/ETF/funds/etc. For their service, i would get 7.15% ROR minus 1% fees. Everything is "very low risk" since "trust officers at VP level will actively manage my money and they have been doing this for a long time".

oh, i ALSO need to take out a HELOC loan against my home equity just in case they need buffer cash to "rebalance" the retirement acct that i sign over.

Rich Dad Scam #8: “Build a diversified investment portfolio for the long term”

Ignore Rich Dad Scam #8, “Invest for the long term in a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds,” and instead increase your financial education to work toward true diversification.

Rich Dad Scam #8: “Build a diversified investment portfolio for the long term”

TLDR:
- Financial planning is an industry created by the banks to make money off the financially illiterate

- ... you’re putting control of your money in someone else’s hands

- Nearly every financial planner will tell you that in order to be financially secure, you must diversify. By this they mean to invest in stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. Unfortunately, this is not true diversification. Rather it is diversification in only one asset class, paper assets—the class where banks make big money in the form of fees. Virtually ignored are the other asset classes, real estate, commodities, and business.

Looks like they've got solar panels over the gas pumps.

You sure that's not oil traps?

No, we have a different definition of "always".

You said "Tesla has always given multiple chances at buy points in the past." It only takes one exception to prove your statement false, I provided many.

It's hard to ignore this theory. However, it might not be a split after all.

Recall Elon has to sell 11 tranches of 934,091 shares. He did not sell yesterday. If he doesn't sell today either, then the pattern becomes Monday and Tuesday every week. He will not be done by 12/9 following this schedule. I would not bet on a split before he's done. Could be some other catalyst.
