You are forgetting about all the free alternative energy money Tesla got from the Stimulus free money giveaway. That is enough cash for them to burn through until they can unload enough shares to fund a golden parachute for even the janitors.

Baddog posted:I do. Buy and hold in regular account, at least past short term cap gains. Frequent trading and high dividend stuff (mreits) in my ira. Yeah any short term stuff I want I just use the 401k to make taxation easier since you don't get any savings from your regular income rates anyway on short term gains. You get to keep the tax until you withdrawal so theoretically you end up way ahead. If you lose all your 401k on gold options don't cry to us.

Well your loses are not really capped except by the fact that your broker will liquidate your assets when your account reaches zero or your margin borrowing limit for you. If you had enough assets in the account this could never happen.

As soon as Cummins gets natural gas fleets that are cheaper to operate then diesel, demand will be fine. The commercial fleet gets replaced around every 7 years. I love natural gas as a power source. Eventually Israel or Iran will nuke the other one too so it has that going for it.

Cheekio there are plenty of low fee mutual funds that will expose you to stocks and allow fee free automatic weekly purchases. I would start with one of those. I like Schwab/Options Express as a broker.

QuarkJets posted:I want to do some day trading with some extra cash that I have. I can easily put about $5k into this safely (as in it could become $0 and I'd be okay financially, just upset that I lost $5k). Is this dumb? Do you need to start off with a lot of money in order to get anywhere when it comes to day trading? Would I just be wasting my time reading the literature if I didn't start off with a much larger base? Your account won't have enough assets to be allowed to daytrade unless you have more cash in it that you are not actively trading. Can I interest you in option trading if you want some nice risk reward?

Most loans are based upon a 6 months moving averages so specific days rates don't really bother anyone that isn't betting on that days rate. We already know all bankers are to incompetent to make money without being crooks.

Read the footnotes even if they make your face fall off. You still have the problem that the market already has experts doing this and they are probably better at it then you. The game is rigged, just ride the bubbles to bankruptcy!

Office costs me $100 a year on average per user. Office 365 is slightly more but lets my users put it on their home machines as well. Training these idiots is impossible. I will never switch if the payoff is only $100 a user per year.

COUNTIN THE BILLIES posted:Yeah there aren't any good forums for that since if a successful strategy gets, it's effectiveness greatly deminishes. So really there is no reason for people to share there ideas since they would just be hurting their business and helping their competitiors. Even a small trader will ruin your returns as they will cherry pick your best positions, making them more expensive. You could easily lose 10% of your return to a small day trader running a similar strategy.

You can just tell your broker that you make over $200K. They will let you open the account. Once you have the account open making 200k a year will be easy! There is no way you will lose all your money. Security laws only allow certain securities that don't follow all the reporting rules to be sold to informed investors only, that is why there is a limit because they don't want you to get ripped off. making 200k a year means you would never invest in Madoff or GM or Enron and get swindled out of everything.

scavok posted:I'm hesitant about Tesla for one fundamental reason: lithium ion batteries. Built in obsolescence will drive sales of new units. This is probably a plus. Why do you think you get a new laptop every 3 years? I am hesitant because I don't think they have a competitive advantage or net income? (Not sure on that one) Tesla buyers are like Iphone buyers, they will have to have the latest version. Buyers of $100k cars don't care about resale. They normally corporate lease them and replace them yearly for the tax savings and ability to screw the passive investors out of profits. The stock probably has priced in that they will sell a million cars a year or something though, heh.

Baddog posted:Are they subsidized at all by the car companies/govt? How much do they charge? Yes and yes. 30% federal tax credit to install charging infrastructure, and Nashville, (Nissan leaf USA headquarters), is subsidizing a $10K per unit DC quick charger. There are companies, like Chargepoint, that are trying to monetize electric charging. They have a good business plan as they operate like paypal, they take a cut of the fee the owner of the equipment charges for payment processing. I have paid $2 to charge twice, but the alternative was a $12 parking space rental. The market doesn't really know what to charge yet. Most chargers are still free in Indiana. The main problem with the charging infrastructure is that there are 3 different plugs and no one is going to budge. It is beta max vs vhs with Tesla super plug as the elitist we will build our own standard on the side. Most of the equipment manufactures have built in connections for whatever standard the owners want to implement though so converting them to the winner won't be a problem. I charge at home 99% of the time. It would be nice to be able to drive on longer trips but I just keep a spare ICE powered car around for that. That would be the only reason I would want pay chargers available.
