About 1yr ago today (or was it 2?) I lost a BUNCH of $$$ on PLTR. Lulz. Didn't even know the market was open I don't think. BTC also.
PLTR was such a fail. Bought the dip....which became a crater. Oh well. I guess you can say the same about 90% of the crap that peaked in 2021. I will have a story to tell my kids about the "pandemic bubble". Like how the 99ers talk about the dot com...
May have to pull the trigger on a short here. Retest of breakdown. Don't want to get political, but the left is very strong with influence, activism, and cancellation. They are doing a full court press with everything Musk and 38% democrats have previously identified as Tesla buyers. (30% Republicans). Slightly worried the Christmas rally may extent things so 220 might be a better short, but if you think that 2023 will be a recession I can't think of a better short.
there are a lot more electric car options today and more coming than just tesla. people have options now.
This. https://www.caranddriver.com/shopping-advice/g32463239/new-ev-models-us/ Whether or not the options are better from a pure EV standpoint vs a Tesla, people will have options to buy other makes and models. After all, there are people who bought the Pontiac Aztec...
im not denying that. I am saying there is more competition now. speaking of electric cars. Anyone have their eyes or currently investing in any battery tech companies out there? i have some quantumscape. anyone take on solidpower? or others?
I remember buying the QS spac and riding that way up quite a bit. Looking back, crazy to think a company that makes $0 went to $132 a share! lmao.
yep i made a little money on it but jumped back in when it was low $20s will probably add some to it to average down over the next half year
Zoomers cant afford a car can they? The Tesla's I've been in feel plastic-y and cheap inside, they also still have chrome on the exterior (ew), not really luxurious, but the tech I imagine is top notch and regularly updated.
It can't be ignored that Elon is alienating a significant percentage of the people who bought his cars with all his shenanigans -- Tesla was cool and unique now not so much.
I thought I was a genius today and played AAPL perfectly. LULZ ON ME! Def refueling on SQQQ right now but it hurts to buy when it's this bloody. Also I grabbed some random GME cuz whenever weird stuff happens, GME might go up 30% (soon) for no reason. Or not. But I'm tryna have some fun here. SQ calls sound fun. Why not? Do it. At least straddle that mofo.
