  1. Re:For most people, retirement isnt possible. on The World Isn't Prepared for Retirement (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    You are definitely a Westerner. "Deserve" has nothing to do with earnings. Does a person in the UK "deserve" to earn 100 times more than the same person doing the same job in India? Unless you want the UK to look like India that isn't going to happen.

    That is idiotic.

    You don't have to go to New Zealand to snowboard. The happy medium is to go somewhere more affordable to snowboard if that is your thing.

    Baloney. If you want a low fee fund with returns just invest in a index linked fund. They are managed by algorithms so they have very low fees (0.03%)

    A good single stock to purchase is Tesla (TSLA). I have put all my retirement funds in it. They are the GM of this century!

    Forget Facebook. They are the least of what you should be worried about. If you don't have a Facebook account their information on your is very limited. However, Acxiom has a LOT more information on you.

    This "outrage" is completely fake. You GAVE Facebook that information on yourself. I am more concerned about data gathering by organizations where I didn't willingly give consent. There are companies out there that have a complete profile of you, your finances, everything, married from different sources. Facebook has just junk information collected to sell your ads. That should be the least of your worries.

    The motivation is the same whether you are short or long: to make money. That makes no sense. As many people have an incentive for a stock to rise as it does to fall.

    "Most people" can't afford a car at all. If you want an "affordable" EV you need to look at a Chinese manufacturer. The point is that Tesla is producing cars for the ultra rich. Musk is no savior.

    That is the amusing this: you are wrong and you don't even know it. Tesla is NOT the largest battery manufacturer for EVs (by far) and is not the largest EV manufacturer (Nissan is). You Musk fanboys are so delusional! You believe the marketing.

    The currently selling Model 3 is $50-$70k if you can actually get one. There are no $35k Model 3 cars! This is his "strategy". This is what is disgusting. It is a shell game that Musk is playing and you are all fools for believing it. Tesla builds cars for the rich. There are manufacturers producing affordable EVs right NOW.

    No it didn't start at the end of February, you can check the numbers yourself. But that doesn't even matter. The main point is: you are an ass. You and Bruce keep cheerleading TSLA like it is a company that is going to save the world with their technology. They aren't even producing EVs for the masses: other companies are doing that. Tesla produces cars for the 1% and is running a shell game with Musks other companies to do it. I am afraid that gullible people will believe your nonsense and think that Tesla is a good investment. If you want to save the world invest in a EV manufacturer who actually produces affordable EVs. You are just a Musk fanboy. Musk isn't going to save you and take you to Mars. You are going to have to live here on Earth with the rest of us. Deal with it.

  17. Short it on Defying Skeptics, Twitter Stock Surges 60% in 2018 (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    This is a good stock to short (along with TSLA). The younger generation doesn't use Twitter and the stock price doesn't reflect reality. Twitter has been a terrible 5 year investment.

  18. Re:By the numbers on Tesla Short-Sellers Lose $1 Billion (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Tesla has no profit. No astute investor would invest in TSLA. They have a negative 25 P/E ratio. Their bond issues are rated four levels below investment grade. What "big win" are you expecting? Even if the stock went up 50% that isn't a big win. Electric cars are real things, but Tesla isn't even the biggest manufacturer of EVs and isn't producing an affordable EV.

    The Nissan Leaf is the best selling EV on the market today and starts at $29k and is actually available. THAT is a real EV for the masses. Tesla is just promising a $38k car while delivering cars for the 1%. The truth is exactly opposite of what you have said.

    No it wasn't. 12 months ago it was 29M the same as in end of Feb and beginning of March. The stock price isn't "higher" because it is already too damn high. It has a negative 25 P/E ratio and 10 billion in debt!

  22. Re:TSLA Revenue... on Tesla Short-Sellers Lose $1 Billion (cnbc.com) · · Score: 0

    Exactly. And the MOST DISGUSTING THING is that Tesla builds plaything cars for the rich 1%. If you want affordable EVs you should be investing in the companies that actually produce them today. Like Nissan. Nissan Leaf is $30k and Chevy Bolt is $36k. But the Musk fans ignore all that and claim Tesla is somehow creating EVs to save the planet.

    Many. It is not a conspiracy. The reason people are shorting TSLA is because the stock is overpriced. It isn't rocket science.

    Nope. I would never short TSLA. People are too irrational. Most people who own TSLA don't even know who the largest EV manufacturers are.

    What new technology? Do you even know what company is the largest manufacturer of EVs??? Why aren't you investing in them? Musk is all about ego. That is why all those rich tech guys are building rocket companies.
