    Stock Market bubble - will crash

    I hear ya. Part of the problem is that institutions usually own the vast majority of outstanding shares & have the votes required to oust someone, but in all but the most extreme cases, choose to look the other way ? I know, that doesn't make any sense. It would be in their best interest to get rid of poor management, which in turn would make their funds and ETFs look better, but they don't? Another problem is the SEC. They got no backbone. If Musk did something illegal, they should've come down on him, but they didn't because corruption is everywhere. They aren't like those agents on the Wolf of Wall Street. I've been a somewhat active investor since the mid-90s & Elon Musk isn't the 1st to get away with things like that, and he won't be the last. Lastly, and I hate to say this because I still make investing mistakes, but a lot of the shareholders out there seem to be at least slightly developmentally disabled. Kraft & Heinz merged in 2015. It's been an absolute disaster. Since Warren Buffett/Berkshire Hathaway were involved, long-suffering shareholders insist on holding, because if those 2 aren't selling, good times must lie ahead. There's a reason they aren't selling. Shortly before the merger took place, Buffett exercised special warrants only available to him, giving him the right to purchase 46.2 million shares for about $462,000, or about one penny each. He also owns enough preferred shares to pay him dividends of $720 million per year. I've posted that information on the yahoo comment section around 5 times over the past 2 years. These morons react by giving me thumbs down and/or calling me a liar. I say fock em if they're too lazy/stupid to look up the information themselves. Like PT Barnum allegedly said, "there's a sucker born every minute"

    That last paragraph is accurate, but it could describe 100's of CEOs.

    I got my chance Friday. 400 shares (TSDD) @ $26.77 got lucky as that was close to the low of the day & it closed at $27.86 I don't know that it's Elon manipulating the stock price. I think investors are just such fanboys, that they hold onto it like a rusty vice grip. Look at the bottom line, the most important fundamental. YOY (EPS) over the past 5 quarters. -44% -46% +17% -74% -71% In spite of those figures, shares are currently selling at 171x trailing eps. Investors are putting a tremendous amount of hope into the Robo taxi business. Me, not so much. I don't dislike Elon, & still think that long-term (assuming the entire world doesn't crater under its massive debt) Tesla will be fine. If it wasn't for the fact that the shares are held in a taxable account & the capital gains would severely impact my health insurance premiums, I'd sell all the shares now, pay the capital gains tax, & wait for a more opportune time to reestablish a position.

    Ever been suspended from school?

    Never got kicked out, but got the board of education in eighth grade for getting into a fight in shop class. I never did that again.

  11. Hypothetically, let's say your daughter was the star player on the team who lost the state championship, to the team with a trans (male) pitcher. Can you honestly say you wouldn't be at least a little bit upset ?

    Elon says that Trump is in the Epstein files.

    I have to say this one makes the most sense. I've owned Tesla since 2017 and it hasn't been doing well at all this year. The shite really hit the fan today down $47 My personal conspiracy theory goes something like this. 'If' those poor sales are due to those on the left despising Musk since he got tight with Trump, he wants to reverse that. What better way than to have a blowup with him & make it appear as if he's distancing himself. Of course the other side of the coin, is that he could upset militantly pro Trump supporters who may have been considering buying a Tesla in the future. Just my $0.02

    Hey Weepaws!

    Another one. I suppose cases like this are somewhat rare, so the liberals figure no problem. https://www.wisconsinrightnow.com/martin-g-garcia-leal/

    One Day Late! Own 288 shares of Tesla with a basis of $15.14 About 1.5 months ago I thought it was over valued, so I bought Graniteshares 2x Short TSLA Daily ETF (TSDD) Got my arse handed to me as Tesla rallied immediately after. Sold them at a loss about a month ago. Now I thought Tesla was even more overvalued. Since this is a taxable account, and I realized a loss on TSDD, I'd have to wait 31 days to buy them back, or it would be a wash sale violation. So I put a reminder in my phone to consider buying again 31 days later. That day just happened to be today. As I type, TSLA is down about $46.00 (13%) & TSDD is 30.00 +6.63 +(28.42%) Dayum Broadcom reports after the bell. This is probably the most important chip stock next to Nvidia.
