Why the heck should a company be obligated to allow employees to use company resources so that they can anonymously complain about the company! What a bunch of whiney babies, seriously!

That's really doesn't indicate that those admits are morons. Obviously they got a leg up from having parents who attended, but a lot of that leg up was the best schools and best experiences and best upbringing; not fair but also not the same as admitting morons because they have rich parents...

Also I think it would be tough to be a moron who got in on your parents laurels at any of those schools based on my experience at one of them and what I know of the others. The professors all have tenure and a good chunk of them would like nothing more than to prove the point that they're not...

Direct quote from the SEC covering Form 4 (https://www.sec.gov/files/forms-3-4-5.pdf, emphasis mine) "What’s a Form 4? In most cases, when an insider executes a transaction, he or she must file a Form 4. With this form filing, the public is made aware of the insider’s various transactions in...

You advised active CEO's of publicly traded companies? That selling covered calls on their companies stock wasn't a bearish signal the market? And you think that a CEO's fiduciary duty should be to someone other than the "investing public", or more likely just don't really even grasp the concept...

So first off you're simply wrong about the signal it sends, regardless of your personal opinion the market over time has very strong weighed in with the opposite view. And given that the "investing public's" opinion is the only public opinion that the CEO and board have a fiduciary duty to, it's...

Your loss dude, you need to learn to chill out a bit.

Mortgage the house with shares as collateral is a huge "skin in the game" indication of bullishness on the part of the insider. Selling covered calls is a huge "I don't think there's much chance this stock will go up any more" indication on the part of an insider. Any insider anywhere would be a...

Dude, you started this thread! You asked what would be the trigger to cause the next pullback. I gave it to you, or at least one reasonable option. You can't seem to figure out if you agree that tariffs could easily be the trigger (which your logic leads to) or disagree (which your tribe says...

Again your shifting your argument. First it didn't exist, now it does but no-one is buying it (what's your source on profitability, btw?). My response was to a false assertion that "Electric cars CANNOT WORK YET." Nothing you've said proves that false assertion, everything I've said disputes...

So you're maintaining that despite your assertion that consumers are price sensitive and will stop buying the majority of imports from China if the price goes up, and despite the fact that imports from China are $539.5B and despite the fact that if shit could be made somewhere besides China for...

There was a 2% decline in consumer spending in 2008/2009. A 25% decline would be a catastrophe! Or did you mean 25% of the imports we get from China? That would be a $134B decline. Which is, as it happens, about $10B more than the decline from 2008 to 2009 ($8,684.0B to $8,561.2B). Not sure...

Well the original question you asked was, I believe, "I'm trying to figure out where the next catalyst will be. I think the market sees some catalyst forthcoming. But in order for there to be a breakdown in the market, the normal people have to feel the brunt." It looks like you agree, the...

Like the Chevy Spark EV that you can get for $20K? Regardless, you don't get to set the goalposts such that "electric cars are only viable if they can be sold for under $20K". By that mindset the majority of ICE cars sold in the U.S. are failures! Somehow BMW and Mercedes and Volvo and Audi and...

We've gone over this ad-nauseum, you and I specifically I think. The energy density in today's EVs is more than enough for 99% of the driving that 99% of drivers do. Seriously, how many times have you driven more than 400 miles in the last year? How many times have you done that simultaneously...

I don't think your elasticity logic is wrong at all. In fact I would tend to agree with you, 2/3 of the stuff at Walmat is fairly discretionary/elastic and folks who shop there will just stop buying it and make due with the old toaster and TV. The real question is will that just result in some...

Dude, electric cars from dozens of companies have been working for years. Tesla's a shit show, the concept isn't. I actually know someone who sold their nat gas car in disgust and bought a Bolt instead, those puppies have a long way to go.

As I indicated at the beginning (incorrectly as @tommcginnis pointed out) it all depends on the elasticity of demand. The sheer volume of stuff that comes from China means that you can't just turn on a dime and make and import it all from elsewhere. So there will be disruptions, the question is...

I used to believe that about Walmart knowing exactly how much they could squeeze but this whole thing actually throws that myth out the window. Either their suppliers we're making 25% in unneeded profit before tariffs and Walmart didn't realize they could squeeze a significant amount more, or...

Yep, what you said! Thanks for the correction.
