    Why Bitcoin when you have gold?

    I recently learned that a close family member has been using gold as a means of daily payments for 10 years! But how you might ask? First, they've been investing monthly all these years to buy gold with a group based in Switzerland specialized in trading and storing gold and silver. They are...

    The EV transition is real

    If, like you seem to be, you're a conscientious driver, focused on efficiency, your PHEV is much of an improvement over ICE. Btw, Honda no longer sells the Clarity.

    How is Palantir not at $85 ?

    We got a hot one!... Sizzles with only 10 posts? Yikes. Advice? Lay off the speed and pop the chills. PLTR is a dud if for no other reason that it is cloaked in secrecy, gov projects heavy and challenged expanding beyond. Over the past few years I've heard a few good analysts swearing PLTR...

    The EV transition is real

    Wrong answer. PHEV in theory isn't a bad idea, but both manufacturers and operators are abusing the concept. Manufacturers by putting an underwhelming battery only good for a few miles, and operators by not recharging the battery when depleted. As a result, the mileage efficiency is bs and...

    The EV transition is real

    Tesla is cutting prices to adjust to competitive pressures, like any business does when necessary. The good news is its profit margin is still higher than any ICE manufacturers. The share price just blew the roof because China demand is back to expectations and Tesla may still hit 2M sales in...

    The EV transition is real

    I'm not an absolutist when it comes to sources of energy because I expect the transition to green energies to take a couple decades at least. Coal should certainly be the first to be shut down and China is the most affected by the pollution its coal plants create, but they're also the largest...

    The EV transition is real

    Eventually you'll find a friend: How many EVs are sold in the US each year? EV sales in the U.S. saw an increase of 60% year over year from 1 million in 2022 to 1.6 million in 2023. The U.S., Europe and China represent the three largest global markets in EV sales.7 Jun 2024...

    Median Income by State 2024

    This is the reason given to explain why government ministers are the highest paid in the world, in excess of $1M a year. The amount is based on the average of the 100 highest paid CEOs in Singapore. What they, and anyone who believes 1/4 to 1/2 million dollars for life to union administrators...

    Median Income by State 2024

    To me it speaks of the implosion of the empire. Everyone is scamming the system every which way possible and getting away with it. There's no shame, no grotesque sense of entitlement, no abuse. Mid level civil servants on half a mill a year for life? Of course they deserve it! They'll argue...

    The EV transition is real

    Can't help the contrarian in you. The market for home owned suburban household is still far larger than existing EV penetration, meaning there is still a few years of untapped market for EVs. The average car price in the US is $47k while the entry level Tesla 3 is $40k and the entry level...

    You really go out of your way to complicate things. 50% of Americans lives in the suburbs and entry level Teslas today cost about the average price of a new ice car.
