They'll keep building Y and 3. Yes, they're shutting down S & X to transition those factories to Optimus production.

Is it still gonna focus on that ugly ass Truck that looks like a PS1 car model?
Cybertruck/S/X are like 3-4% of their delivered vehicles, virtually all of them are 3/Y.

Ah ok so this announcement is more of a nothingburgermeister
Depends, if you want to shit on Musk/Tesla you can say they're failing and can't produce vehicles lol so wow what an idiot. If you think Musk is smart you can say they are optimizing and trying to plan for the future, and the future isn't in expensive cars that sell like 10-20k units per year.

Has a little something for everybody.

I also wouldn't be surprised if in the future pending demand they create a new "high end" model. I'm kinda surprised he hasn't pivoted a little more towards that Slate type model of a universal chassis design that could be more easily swapped out for body/trim options. I wonder if something about the design of the S and X are just fundamentally harder to work into his FSD future state goals.

When the price goes high, straight up into the sky..
... that's a bubble (that's a bubble)
When the markets all sound.. like their irrational
... that's a bubble (that's a bubble)
When you're at a top
It'll never stop
"never gonna drop"
Then you hear a pop
That's... A BUBBLE....

And today in "That's a bubble" news..... Silver on the daily...

Buy an ounce of silver and crash JP Morgan!

That was the story back in 2011 when silver was on a rocket ride to 50 bucks an ounce. I think it went as low as 17 in the aftermath? I'm not surprised to see something similar happen again just with bigger numbers.

People were too bullish before and now everyone’s too bearish. Way she goes, Bubbs.

sold half my NEM 2 days ago at $130.25. Not in a hurry to buy back but not bearish on metals over the next few years

When CME first upped the margin reqeuirements some time ago a number of people were saying it was because "someone" such as a big bank were in too deep shorting and needed the help.

I don't know but recently until today was still seeing people talking about digging up junk silver and sterling silver and selling it if they could find a buyer. There was a tremendous amount of hype based on just hype. Even my 85 year old dad asked me about it since he had some .999 or .9999 rounds. Crazy. The number of people that were buying silver for the first time ever while it was at an all time high was super crazy.

It's exactly how it went last time which is just kinda how it always goes with everything. Scare people out at the bottom and shove them in at the top.

Crazy part is silver had a 25% hit and is only back to where it was about 3 weeks ago. Lot of people didn't want to be left holding the bag at the top. Guess we'll see. Did learn that the Chinese market price of silver includes their tax/vat or whatever it is.

Its hilarious, and its one of the most common investing comments in any online discussion.

"This thing went up a shitload, I better buy some!"

They mean it, and think its sensible to say out loud

Kind of like fishing. By the time you hear it's a good time to go it means you should have been there yesterday.

Have a doctor friend that has no retirement but read an article that it's great to start a Roth IRA for your kids. So she opened a fake LLC, gave her kids fake jobs, and is paying them out of her household budget so she can do a Roth IRA for them with like $500/yr.

People read things and just do it.

Same friend bought bitcoin at $125k, and when it was at $85k she was like now I have to sell it, it's losing money. I was like, no, now you have to hold it until it comes back. Most people operate completely off emotion, and those are the people that drive the market. Which is why the markets moves never make any sense. People are making the decisions, and people are stupid.

Both people in your example are women, lol.

Ok, go gentle on me but I've got a basic question for you.

I know fuck all about investing, and I'm not a billionaire (I wish) but I'm at the point of having extra cash, and about 15 years until retirement. We have things called isa in the UK, tax free investments, that you can chuck 40k per year into as a couple.

Given I know fuck all, and given I'm not rolling in cash would my quick google search results of 'chuck it into a global all cap' have any major problems? I do realise nothing is certain, but an all cap is very diversified. A quick calculation reckons at 10% returns (eminently acheivable looking at the returns over the last 15, even with dips due to covid etc) and maxing yearly contributions for 15 year I'd have a million quid tax free, which seems pretty good to me. Hopefully I can even chop 2 years off my target retirement age, given my house is close to being paid off, and I will have a good pension (32% of wages between me and the company), and I already have 6+ months of our combined wages in an easy access account, which we're now moving towards a year of combined.
