That is not a good way to invest. Probability of Apple acquiring Tesla is very low because of the corporate culture set up by Elon Musk, too different. Also inconsistent with what youāve said earlier,
I donāt invest in Tesla hoping for it to get acquired. Iām just listing this as one of the possibilities. Investors know very little about what really goes on behind the scenes but need to be optimistic of the outcome.
If you havenāt worked in manufacturing anything, well, you just donāt know what you are bad mouthing.
Ford and any other company didnāt build factories first day in production. They started one car at a time.
Any company building anything has to start from the bottom up. Schematics, plans, scheduling, warehousing, shipping, receiving, stockroom, R&D, suppliers, buyers, and so on have to be set up so they then start to follow a pattern. It takes years for that to happen.
I was a production planner on RTPs. Rapid thermal processors. Even having all the blue prints and schematics, suppliers, etc, it would take a year to finish a project and then it would go to the field, sometimes to be scrapped.
Thatās why I laughed at those expecting a car pretty soon.
Bonds have fixed cash flow out, while equities does not necessarily cash flow out. This is what SHOP did, they paid all debt by issuing follow-on equity at $90 almost 500 millions. Now, they are debt free.
Dilution! Now we know the bottom is $90 because so many xxx bought at that price. Now I know why the last drop is to $89.23, you should have told me that infoā¦ would have bought a lot more
Would be pissed have I bought at $123.94. Got to wait awhile for fundamentals to catch up.
I have worked 12 years in various departments of production, then software side.
Customers and their confidence is the last one any company/CEO can hit. Elon not only mismanaged his commitments, but also losing customers going to competitors.
Trump/Rep added fuel over fire by cutting $7500 incentive for EVs. As soon as my friends heard about this reduction, they went ahead with Bolt dropping model 3 ! Presently, all bolts are back-ordered in many California agents.
Musk is permanently losing customers.
What is the use of āSchematics, plans, scheduling, warehousing, shipping, receiving, stockroom, R&D, suppliersā when customers are going away !
Shooting high levels like bitcoin means speculative frenzy. In that case would be a good time to sell, not buy. Time to buy is right now when there are seas of doubt and media doom and gloom (though reality might be very different from perception)ā¦
You are right!!! Time to buy was 5 years ago when they were at like $30 per share. I wished it could fall back to that level so some of you guys could get inā¦ but wouldnāt count on that happening!!!
However, if bitcoin fell to even just 1 penny per coin I still wouldnāt be inclined at all to buy it thoughā¦
