If we just all buy and pump Coolcoin we can be billionaires too.
unless Trump declares marshal law
I don't want to get too far off topic here, but this is the problem with the rabid Trump supporters. I know that most of them aren't semi-comatose morons, which means you know as well as I do that the man is lying sack of shit. Of course you do have the cultish contingent that whatever Trump does or says, it just doesn't fucking matter. I'm never going to understand that. Who actually believes in "alternative facts?"marshal law? Seriously?
Yee Haw. That dang marshal gonna get me good.

And it simply amazes me that after 4 years you still haven't figured out what's really important to Trump. Surprise, it's Trump - fuck everyone else even if his amorality and incompetence has killed over 180,000 people. As he said in a recent interview, "it is what it is." The only fucking reason he gives a shit at all is because it reflects badly on him. Well, no shit.
And these aren't the disposable kind of people like all the ones who are some shade of brown, the gays, the Jews - I just don't have time to provide a full list.
Remember when Trump said he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and get away with it. NOW do you realize that psychopath WAS NOT joking. Except as it turns out, the body count is a bit higher.
That was a great explanation and it makes perfect sense. Humans like to divide themselves into groups, especially during stressful times. And a lot of people relate to Trump (for whatever reason) and they find out that the other people in group are a lot like themselves. Like attracting like you could say. So both groups, Dems and Trump supporters may lack good reason for what they're doing , but too fucking bad. You can't argue with emotions and you won't as long as the group satisfies your emotional needs.I've looked a bit at, why do they have such rose colored glasses? Why do they become slavishly supportive of someone, joining his cult, who is things they say they're against?
The nearest I've found is that is has nothing to do with who trump is or much of his 'policies', but is all about hating the same things he shows hate for - which he seems to do largely because he has pollsters tell him that's what his base wants, however much it's his opinion also. It's not limited to them - Democrats are going to wear rose colored glasses looking at anyone who can defeat trump.
lol. Nothing I say is financial advice. I haven't bought XPEV yet. I tried to in my new Charles Schwab account but the system wouldn't let me. I transferred some money in on Tuesday but I guess the funds haven't fully settled even though it's showing cash balance as being available to trade. Based on little info I've seen of Chinese EV makers, I like XPEV the best. They're like tech company more than automaker. They really are copycat Chinese Tesla.Alright, my first experiment in "do what ponyo says."
picked up 100 shares of XPEV @ $21.
You better not screw me, ponyo!
Here's Tesla Daily Rob Maurer discussing XPeng and their IPO. Rob is someone I follow as he's even bigger Tesla bull than I am. It's good to know your competition and I believe Xpeng will provide more competition to Tesla than any established automakers. But Xpeng is going to lose lot of money the next couple of years as they have to go through what Tesla went through for the past 7-10 years. So that means lot of losses and shares being sold to raise money. It won't be easy competing against Tesla.
The world really needs a Tesla like competitor that focuses on sub $25K electric cars that still have a decent range. (i.e. NOT a Nissan Leaf). Tesla seems to be comfortable sticking with higher-end models right now.
@zinfamous, I just joined you and purchased 500 shares of Xpeng at $22.60. I tried to buy another 500 shares to make it even 1,000 shares but the system wouldn't allow me saying the my funds weren't cleared.
Just be careful. Tesla and EV sector are hot right now which means caution is warranted. Xpeng is not even 1% position for me. So it's extremely small position and tiny hedge for me.we go down in flames together! (you more so, though, perhaps)
I was thinking of picking up more 150-200; but I'm saving whatever available funds I have to buy Tesla crumbs on Monday. :\
I am vaguely contemplating selling off some of my Index shares before the close today in order to have some more cash to do that; but calm me says "no."
Welcome to TSLA 2k.
The US tech stock market is worth over 9 Trillion USD, more than ALL of Europe stock markets.
Bubble anyone?
Chinese refiners were opportunistic buyers of crude in March and April, and given the shorter tanker travel time between the Middle East and China, compared to the U.S.-China route, Chinese imports of crude oil from Saudi Arabia slumped as early as in July from the record highs of the previous two months. Meanwhile, the roughly 45-day route from the U.S. to China means that the cheap American crude oil loaded in May started arriving in China en masse in July.
You're probably right. The same thing happened after 2008, with respect to gold at least, when the fed was stuffing its balance sheet with any piece of shit debt instruments it could buy. And now they're back at it.I think money managers new "theory" is since the Fed and government is making the dollar worthless by printing too much currency, all other assets can go up forever. Any asset will do like gold, silver, real estate, stocks, bitcoin, commodities.
I just wanted to give you some ammo for your position. I get a newsletter from some guy at Bloomberg by the name of John Authers. Here's the link if you want to subscribe. http://link.mail.bloombergbusiness.com/join/4wm/opinion-authers-signupPersonally, I don't think landslide is the best way to describe it and would caution against that mentality.
