You're new to reddit? It has always been this way in recent years, outside r/spacex and related subs Elon Musk is the big bad, before the Russian stuff it's "blood emerald", "racist", "anti-union", "killing turtles", etc etc. It has zero relevance, they're just losers.

Yep. And most of the mods on major subreddits are anti-Tesla as well. I got a permanent, no explanation ban from /r/news for suggesting that Dan O'Dowd's FSD crash test videos were rigged.
 
If Gary’s fund supposedly has a large stake in TSLA and he can’t see that, he’s either incredibly dense, or that tells me his fund has temporarily sold TSLA.
He hasn't sold. But large stake? I suppose that's relative. I'll let everyone decide for themselves whether they consider a fund holding 4,544 shares a large stake.

Gary does a great job of getting a disproportionate amount of attention. I'll give him that.

Are you sure Gary only owns 4544 shares of TSLA? That would be much lower than I thought, I mean he manages a fund, surely they'd have more shares of TSLA than I have??!?!?! 😮

wow, very surprised

Well you would think that but no lol.

Keep in mind it doesn't matter how many shares he has, he needs to perform well and give good ROI and that is how he grows his fund and gets more money in the next round of raises. So his obviously still going to give his 100% so he can grow his fund and live off comissions like Cathy Wood.

The guy worked on Wall St and knows how a lot of things work behind the scenes. Then he quit and started his own fund. It still gives him clearer insight into things than people on this forum have. His also less likely to be biased towards Tesla. But his opinions and thoughts can still be wrong.
 
Crack reporting here. Basically "Tesla didn't care to make this until the IRA happened". A bit of FUD about specs, but at least a nod to Elon not begging for incentives.

Yeah looks like the entire fund is valued at 8.6M.

Ross Gerber, who's etf has a net asset of 15M has a little over 10% stake in Tesla which means total shares owned is valued at around 1.6M.

So yeah lots of us has more Tesla shares than these people. ARK blows everyone out of the water.
 
Another one of those days where I wish the darn economists would just fudge their estimates up so inflation doesn’t come in hot every. single. time.

(PPI up 0.4% month over month, vs 0.2% estimate)
Excluding food and energy it’s flat though. Fingers crossed that people see it that way.
 
Here is a post that actually is investment and financial advice, in contrast to the unlikely doom and gloom possibilities about which I have written earlier today.

Do you find yourself with any or perhaps all of the following?
  • Rich, varied, healthy, delicious foods
  • Clean freshwater on tap that is reliable and cheap
  • Modern medical care
  • Computer, smartphone and broadband internet connection almost everywhere you go, and the literacy necessary to take advantage of it
  • Literal metric tons of material possessions
  • Electricity that is reliable and cheap
  • Automatic indoor heating and cooling, and even humidity control if you want it
  • Bed with a mattress and plenty of sheets and blankets
  • Ability to walk outside alone without significant risk of being murdered or mauled by a bear/other predator
  • Refrigerator, stove, oven, dishwasher, salt, herbs, spices, pots, pans and a wide variety of other unnecessary specialized kitchen tools and appliances
  • Motorized transport (car, bus, train, plane, boat, e-bike, etc.)
  • Multiple pairs of shoes and clothes, with fashion as the primary consideration
  • Washing and drying machines
  • Waste removal services for your poop and trash
  • A shower, and multiple options for soap and towels
  • Contraceptives
  • Toothbrush and toothpaste that prevents you from losing teeth and having severe gum disease by age 40
  • Cameras
  • Access to barbell equipment that could make you strong if only you'll use it
  • Access to scientific knowledge that wasn't even known until very recently
  • Access to billions of songs of your choosing and speakers that can play it on demand with nearly perfect fidelity
  • Low likelihood of compulsory military service
  • Low likelihood of you, your partner, or someone you know dying in childbirth or losing an infant to something like typhoid, influenza or yellow fever
  • Low likelihood of your government unjustly seizing all your property, or imprisoning you, or executing you
  • More high-quality entertainment options than you have time for
  • Freedom to say anything you want, within reason
  • Freedom to associate with anyone you want, within reason
  • Freedom to travel almost anywhere on the globe, or even get a spectacular view of the ground from the actual stratosphere while doing this travel
  • Freedom to elect who runs your country
If you have this stuff, or maybe even more additional amazing stuff like it, then I want to congratulate you, because your life is insanely awesome. You are fabulously rich in a way that the majority of humans alive today would love to have, and the majority of humans who have ever lived, even kings and emperors, couldn't even imagine. If you're here on the TMC investor forum, then I bet you're probably even very rich compared to the majority of the population in the country you live in, and they also have all this stuff.

If you have this stuff and still are experiencing fear about finances or anxiety ultimately rooted in worries about economic scarcity, is the problem that you don't have enough already, or the feeling itself? Is an irrationally falling TSLA stock price a good reason to be in a grumpy mood right now?

It's a very natural and understandable human feeling to experience, considering that historically contentment was never optimal for maximizing reproductive success.

But you are a modern rational human. Homo sapiens sapiens. You have that computer, that internet connection, that access to knowledge and ideas, strangers who can encourage you through books or podcasts or YouTube, and the free time (if you made room for it by sacrificing some of this aforementioned abundance) to come up with a new way of thinking about your situation that makes you happier and more joyful. Here's a couple good places to start:


If Mr. Money Mustache is not your cup of tea, how about recent wisdom from our Technoking?
You forgot booze and weed

Historically the last few months, PPI didn't really screw up the market that much. It's the CPI that gives us those lovely -3% days (On the index, TSLA will be a nice -8% from that)

Apparently he bought yesterday, as it now shows he has 6,955 shares in the GK fund. (A 53% increase in shares.)
