    Between Wells Fargo and Enron we got heisted out of about $800K, took 2 years and multiple court hearings to get the bank to pay it back.

    While this was going on, my GF's parents asked if we could come to a dinner party. "Sure".

    I found myself sitting across the table from Andrew Fastow (their daughters were friends, and both lived on North Blvd). He starts whining about how nobody understands what we were doing, and if we ourselves did, I sure didn't know it was wrong. GF's dad chimes in saying "well, you can't believe everything you read, the media loves to tear people down."

    I asked if anyone wanted a drink (it was about halfway through the meal), and I went to the bar and poured a very stiff JW Blue on the rocks. Sipped it, poured another, then went back to the table.

    i have done so,

    for your education, this is my synthetic short on TSLA

    T I M B E R !!

    over the past 5 trading days, TSLA has risen 10 points, closed at ~~248,

    i think it is a trap, as the current down trend will continue towards closing the 210 GAP

    decided to sell a 40-point bearish CALL spread on TSLA, using 16 May 2015 expiration
    • buy to open the 270 strike CALL option contract
    • sell to open the 230 strike CALL option contract
      • collecting a premium of $18.90, for which i am willing to assume the max risk of $40

    My bet is that TSLA will be trading below 230 on 16 May 2015; down from today's close of 248


    I question if you have the balls to make a bullish play on TSLA

    Tesla said it is recalling the electric pickup truck because of the risk of a stainless-steel exterior trim panel detaching from the vehicle, causing a potential road hazard and raising the chances of a crash.

    Tesla has issued a recall for nearly all Cybertrucks in the United States. The recall is to fix an exterior panel that could detach while the electric vehicle is driven,
    the company said. The recall covers more than 46,000 vehicles built from November 2023 through Feb. 27 of this year, Tesla said in a filing with
    the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.​

    Recently:

    Tesla execs unload 750K shares of stock

    Tesla tells employees to hold stock.

    This is Enron-level shannanigans.

    Tesla owners are trading in their electric vehicles at record levels, according to an analysis by national car shopping site Edmunds.

    The data from Edmunds published on Thursday said that March represented “the highest ever share” it had seen for Tesla trade-ins toward new or used cars from dealerships selling other brands.

    While investors snapped up Tesla shares after Trump’s victory in November, they’ve been rushing for the exits of late, pushing the stock’s price down by 42% this year.

    when you eliminate love/hate influence, TSLA is meme stock, was worth 70-80$ when it was booming , will be worth 35$ when all done and said . I have enjoyed shorting it before exiting as it may rebounds to 350$~ level , I wonder when Elon will swap his ent8re shares with hedge funds afterwards !

    I met him at that dinner party, and Skilling at the Roll-N bar on Memorial.

    Skilling was much cooler (yet a POS), Fastow was a little midget prick.

    "you are known by the company you keep"

    I'm sure you've checked out that guy's twitter account, much like you've done research on every other subject you purport to know about as you're lecturing us on them.

    As slumping EV giant Tesla's sales slow to a crawl, rival Chinese company BYD is starting to eat its lunch.

    [​IMG]

    Despite tariffs and trade war escalations, China's global slice of the EV pie is steadily growing. In 2023, China exported 1.7 million EVs to the rest of the world —
    50 percent more than the next highest exporter, Germany. In August 2024, BYD's global exports more than doubled Tesla's, a lead that's only grown in recent months
    as protests and Musk fatigue sent Tesla sales into the ground.


    As it stands, BYD is looking more and more like the gold standard in the EV world — while Tesla's US-made cars feel like cheap knockoffs.



    btw,fwiw,

    Warren Buffets's investment company, Berkshire Hathaway, has owned millions of share of BYD since 2008/2009/2010. and has never owned any TSLA shares​
