Now you get it. But the  resulting lower gas prices are a self own? You’re funny. 

If your goal is lower gas prices, getting OPEC to flood the market with oil is a way to do it.

If your goal is to produce more oil and make more money selling oil, getting OPEC to flood the market with oil is the way to stop it.

With Trump caving on his tariffs, economists are now lowering recession odds.  Amazing how that works

Why do you act this dumb? This has always been about negotiations since even before the election. 

Making deals is caving? Are you that butt hurt that Trump is fixing shlt that should have been fixed long ago? 

You little sissies are simply worthless on this earth.

Are those the same economists that are currently shocked that inflation decreased in April?  Those guys?

Or is your point that economists are stupid and we should all just listen to Father Trump?

This "Trumpcession" is awesome!

Morgan Stanley released a bold forecast claiming Tesla, the humanoid robot market could expand to a staggering $5 trillion in annual revenue by 2050. Analysts at the investment bank predict this emerging sector will grow to roughly double the combined sales of the world’s 20 largest automakers.

They need it. Elon has crushed the brand name of the car and they are falling behind there big time.

I love this recession. Teslas are the most electric cars I see on the roads these days. Problem is, people are not as fooled as they used to be about all the fake global warming/cooling/climate garbage. 

Plus, what did Biden and the liberal climate freaks do with building electric vehicle infrastructure? Hint...Nothing functional...

You should take a look at Tesla numbers instead of what you see on the road.

Yeah, they all go up and down those numbers do for many reasons. Just like the market does. 

Now how about this stellar infrastructure Biden put in place! So.awesome. Amirite?

They are way, way down. Lack of new designs, self driving a huge bust (Elon loves to lie about this one in particular), increased competition, new battery tech a bust, truck a total flop, and a very public owner who has tarnished the brand.

Meme stocks go up too, but I’m not buying!

Probably will double in next year

Why do you even care? You think Musk is going to go down if his car sales suffer some? I don't follow it so I don't: even know. 

But you do realize that every.big investor or smart businessman, has less profitable or even poor investments from time to time. Warren Buffet once talked about his failures in an interview. 

But that aside, even Trump said right in front of Musk, "yeah, they ain't for everyone."

Plus, you mentioned numbers. How do you know what "numbers" to look at to judge it's future? Are you some inside Tesla guru? Or are you just looking at stock? 

Have you ever worked on the inside of a major industry other than as a worker bee? 

And yeah, I see way way more Teslas than other electrics on the road. And I also see stores that are busy and stores that are empty. 

It's funny how things work. 

[Horseman 2,390]

AMZN bought in early April cost basis of 176.00.  Selling for over 212.00.  That's 20% gain in a little over a month.  

Rince and repeat the next time weaklings get scared of Trump.

Not recommending anyone try to time the market, just convenient for rebalancing.  3 times in a little more than a month.  Automatically increasing number of shares all around.  Again.

I was responding to a report about TSLA making robots so it’s now a big buy. Do you pay attention?

I gave you multiple reasons why I wouldn’t buy the stock. You can Google TSLA Earnings to get latest numbers. You said you saw a lot of them on the road and stocks go up and down.

I think Elon will be just fine

I don't care if you buy or not. If you don't believe in it, who cares? 

You're the one who brought up that "Musk crushed the brand name with the car". 

I think you should not do your own investments.

You have an odd way of showing you don’t care, you keep asking

Yes, Musk has hurt the brand name, this is not even an argument.

I don’t have anything against the company outside of Elon running his trap. Had one for a few years and it was one of the best cars I have owned. Don’t see myself buying another one…there are some amazing deals on used ones though. As long as I live in the city will always have one EV in the household.

Thanks for your concern!

You are wrong. His brand name will be fine if not take off.

Yeah.  those guys.  The same guys who told us the world was going to end with the implementation of tariffs on 4/2.  Not 30+ days from then...But immediately.  Timmy was so upset he couldn't contain himself.   Now the inflation numbers come out and all those economists are saying, "welp we didn't see that coming"

You live in an alternate reality. Tesla brand has taken a huge hit. It’s fact. 

Perhaps it will rebound. Elon has an amazing track record but his last couple projects have flopped big time. Cyber Truck and DOGE

Nowhere to go but up on that line. EV trucks are a tough market in particular IMO. Too big and impractical for many, too limited for what people like to use trucks for.  Crazy expensive. Tough nut to crack.

Meh, the stock lost some of the run up from the end of last year's earnings and big promises from Musk.  Big deal, their 1YR and 5YR + charts look just fine.

I don't own them and think EVs are dumb.  If you believe in TSLA you have to think there is more than just EVs, like robotaxis etc etc.  But you can't sit there and say they took a big hit from something that wasn't even tangible yet that caused the run-up last year end.  Articles like that are just click bait.

If you like TSLA stock it has to be for new products like battery tech or these androids (I’m calling bullshit on that one for sure) IMO.

This article was for Peefoam not understanding the brand has taken a huge hit - which would be a factor in future car sales along with many other issues they face as a brand.

The current model looks like a trashcan. At least that's what my kids and I call them when we see them out and about. Just lame ass vehicles. 

I esp love when CHP posts pictures of them spinning out and doing terribly across the summit when there's weather.

Fun Fact: Liberals absolutely LOVED Musk and his cars not more than a few years ago.  Couldn't stop buying them.  They were status symbols for all liberals who wanted to virtue signal. Then, all of a sudden, they didn't.  I wonder what changed?  The cars and Musk didn't change at all.
