    'You will pay': Beijing ups threat to Australia

    Australia's economy depends on exports. It has gotten tremendously rich by exporting to China. But Trump has arm wrestled the Aussie government to toe the line with him, on the basis of various strategic and diplomatic agreements. Morrison could and can't really do much about it other than...

    No worries, we can disagree and be civil at the same time, something that seems to be lost on so many nowadays. I enjoy the disagreements as a way to challenge my own assumptions and either confirm or revise my beliefs.

    Tesla 2020

    You're not taking in consideration a major point, which is that EVs will be mandatory in Europe within 15 years. That's a lot of cars that are going to be replaced with EVs. Within that time Tesla will have a sub 20k car on the market to compete with euro small car makers. But yes, it will be...

    Tesla 2020

    Do you really believe what you write or are you just being contrarian? Tesla is making money on emission credits and Tesla is on the cusp of making money selling cars and other products and services. They are a profitable company today and soon will join the S&P 500 and climb to 600 and up...

    Ok, then I disagree with you. Tesla makes profits on emission rights like other car manufacturers do. It's not an anomaly, it's part of the business plan. Let's no blow these out of proportion either; they represent less than 10% of revenue. Not insignificant but not insurmontable...

    I'm not sure what you're trying to say... It's not fair that Tesla can report profits from selling credits? It's a ridiculous argument! The rules are clear and all manufacturers make strategic decisions based on these rules. The US and, to some lesser extend, Japanese manufacturers opt not...

    Amazon was the laughing stock of the investment world for at least 10 years on the same basis. Beside, the market is already speaking for Tesla's valuation.

    Tesla 2020

    It isn't becoming, it is. It's also more than a car manufacturer, more than a solar roofing developer and installer, more than a grid and home energy storage company.

    Fully cognizant of this. My executive wife is appalled at how much money I made is such a short time. I tell her not to quit her job because next year could be very different!

    Stealth Wealth

    I spent years studying, in part to avoid the real world of work. I couldn't hide anymore after I hit my mid 30s so I decided to work just enough to finance my relocation to other parts of the world. My college and childhood friends thought I was crazy and knew I was poor, but my wealth were my...

    I wanted to follow up on my pre Q3 expectations which turned out to be correct this time. Here's my fundamental issue... The Tsla buying Originals, those who bought at sub $50, represent a sizeable number of shareholders and created the YouTube channels and chatrooms that fluff up Tesla, these...

    :wtf: wow, outside some of Germany's autobahns I don't know where you can drive that fast in Europe and not lose your license if you get caught! I've noted a significant slow down on European highways over the last 20 years, when the 130 km/h speed limit was the minimum speed. Now, most cars...

    I am done with TDAmeritrade

    I'm a newbie only trading stocks and use and like TOS but its user interface can improve. I used to run the Webull platform whose interface was much more intuitive, although I wouldn't recommend them for other reasons, the biggest if which is they are China based. But simple gestures such as...

    I think Europeans are going to be harder on Tesla than Americans or Asians. European consumers have alternative EVs from VW and Renault as well as Kia and Nissan. Those are priced significantly lower than model 3s and thus the expectation is the upscale segment of 3 series BMW or Mercedes...
