Still think it's a good stock if you are in it longterm. Right now it is just trending with overall market. They recently got a new land near mexico. So their output will increase. Iran sanctions are still NOT on. They got waivers so once the waivers expire in 5-6 months, oil will skyrocket as long as OPEC reduces their supply as they said.

Also DJI and SPX both broke key support levels last week/today. I really don't see how some of these investment banks are predicting the bull market to continue such as Bank of America Merill Lynch. The correction is officially as bad as the January 13% but with trade war going on and impending rate hikes.

Anyway I lost a few thousand on some poo poo stocks I should have sold but my short etfs and gold stocks are going CRAZY.

Good luck to all trading this week and in their long term portfolio. Maybe Trump will tweet something? lol

lol. OPEC is basically a combo of propaganda and an introspective advisory board at this point. The member nations basically ignore whatever OPEC says and only “follow” OPEC’s guidance if it happens to align with what they were going to do anyways.

It’s almost always the case that cutting supply is economically Bad for the OPEC countries. There’s too much global supply, and cuts just mean market share decreases.

Serious about Tesla.

So $TLSA released some news today about an asset backed bond offering for $800 mil today using leases for the Model S/X. They're trying to rate it as high grade but I don't really see how they get a decent price / yield on it. It's a little bit more obvious now about their plan for going into the quarter and why they've been classifying all their warranty problems as "goodwill". It seems like they're trying to cover for the fact that the car's residual value sucks. People are just starting to realize this with all the insurance companies leading the way by jacking up the rates for Model S/X/3s. TSLA sells the ABS to some bank/bondholder, the borrowers default because the car's value has tanked, and the bondholder is on the hook instead of TSLA. Kinda genius that TSLA plays a hit from 2008. :lol:

Anyway, the corporate bond market has shat itself. There's like no junk bond issuance right now, so TSLA can't raise money that way. They're prevented from raising money through stock issuance for some unknown reason. Or maybe, they need to keep the stock price high so they have a high enough stock price come Feb/Mar 2019? I don't know. Whatever the case, I'm not sure that TSLA sells out this bond issuance because you would think that the banks would wise up to selling a bunch of lemons, but maybe that's the point.

Edit:
So if I'm reading this right, they're saying that its going to be 100 bps over EDSF for 1.49 yr, which is something that yields ~1%? That can't be right.

You know my doom and gloom posts, but I think it’s worth remembering that even when the yield curve inverted during the last two business cycles, it took quite some time for the actual recession/sell off to happen. And if we have all the algos shorting on that signal, it’s arguably priced in.

:stadia::stadia::stadia::stadia::stadia:
The Tesla ABS bond thing is fairly standard. They're securitizing the lease payments - so giving up future lease payments and yield for money now.

When auto leases are originated, Tesla funds them using borrowing via a warehouse line. Once the warehouse line is full, the leases are packaged and sold into the asset backed market via one of these deals. Proceeds from the ABS deal are then used to pay down the warehouse line and the cycle repeats. This is not really Tesla taking on new money to fund future operations.

The ABS market operates solely on collateral value and so no inferences can be made from this financing about Tesla's access to the unsecured debt or equity markets. At best, it tells us that Tesla's prior ABS deal is living up to expectations as it pertains to residual values and customers not defaulting on their leases. Typically these things are well over-collateralized to buffer for some losses taking place.

But yea, signs are pointing to the residual values dropping fast now and some sucker pension funds are gonna be on the hook.

Last business cycle we didn't have Trump to prop up the market. So twitter basically controls the market. Long $TWTR

Trump with his ambiguous "talks are great, announcements soon". The annoucement will probably be a non announcement or something the market already knows has priced in.

quote:

"A former Canadian diplomat has been detained in China, two sources said on Tuesday, and his current employer, the International Crisis Group, said it was seeking his prompt and safe release.

Michael Kovrig's detention comes after police in Canada arrested the chief financial officer of China's Huawei Technologies Co Ltd on Dec. 1 at the request of U.S. authorities, a move that infuriated Beijing.

It was not immediately clear if the cases were related, but the arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver has stoked fears of reprisals against the foreign business community in China.

Kovrig, a Mandarin speaker, has been working as a full-time expert for the International Crisis Group since February 2017.

From 2003 to 2016, he worked as a diplomat with stints in Beijing and Hong Kong, among others, according to his profile on LinkedIn.

Indexes back negative. Buckle up.

This appears to be credit driven. $DB may have a liquidity crisis on their hands if their credit default swaps continue spiking. Their bonds apparently also shat themselves. Are they the Bear Stearns or are they the Lehman of 2018/2019?

Wondering about this also, but I also jumped on it today. Sold two of my lame duck weed stocks which are 35% down and don't look like they are going anywhere. Holding onto my ACB for sure though. Almost bought Canopy with the money too until I saw the Dell deal.

I ended up buying 20 contracts yesterday because even if i dont understand the full scope of this risking 100 for this massive potential upside seems alright.

I don't know that the DVMT trade is a no brainer...

$120 offer price in cash for the stock but the total cash available for the deal is $14B and we're currently trading at a 21B mkt cap @ ~$105 - so about 2/3rds of the current shares are going to get cash and the rest are going to get Dell stock somewhere between about 1.5-1.8 Dell Class C shares per share of DVMT. How much is Dell stock worth? Who knows - but the market is not currently pricing 1.5-1.8 shares being worth $120.

The options market is certainly not pricing it like $120 is any where close to certain - Jan 105 strike calls are $1.30.


EDIT: Some math

Shares Outstanding: 199,360,000
Mkt Cap @ $120: 23,923,200,000
Shared Converted @ 120: 58.52%
Shares to get Dell stock: 41.48%
Avg Cash per share: 70.22
DVMT current price: 105

Its not looking good. They’re getting out of credit markets. Can’t issue a bond. They’re almost exclusively using bank lending so if banking in general takes a dump or interest rates go up, they’re hosed.
