The hype over Model 3 sales (orders :laughing) must not be enough to keep it afloat :laughing

In financial terms, M3 outsold the Camry in Q3.

The problem isn't the sales, the problem is the CEO not being able to control himself on social media.

Yes, we are. It's a popular car, unlike the BMW. I call it the M3 as do many others. Deal with it.

Also, Musk needs to follow these simple steps:

That's just a bit of an oversimplification. Tesla is the only real EV game in town, so you can't compare the only player in a given category with a car in another, very competitive ,category.

And the problem, at least long term, isn't Musk's tweets. It's the fact that Tesla isn't going to ever be able to make much money selling cars because it will never be able to deliver a mass market EV that is lower cost yet delivers high margins. In order to attain any where near the volumes they need to be a serious automaker they will have to sell a low dollar vehicle and they will very possibly lose money on every one they sell. Tesla may flim flam it's way into profitability for a quarter or two by selling the most expensive cars they have first and playing some accounting games, but once they plow through that high end demand, how are they going to generate a lot of cash flow? The lower priced M3 isn't going to be very profitable, if at all.

Brutal day today. :laughing

You mean awesome day today. The market needs to burn halfway to the ground before we're back in a range of reasonable valuations. But I don't expect that. This is the stupidest market in my lifetime, so it wouldn't surprise me if all the idiots are back in, buying the market back up tomorrow, thinking there are bargains to be had. I can't wait to hear all the biased pundits tonight talk about how the 'market's oversold' and you should 'buy the dip'...
 
I'm long term, the White House is throwing their usual noise, and the talking heads and daytraders are all losing their minds, except the handful who were short at just the right moment and consider themselves geniuses for a day. It's fun.

earnings reports not in yet, no reason to start worrying



Traders See Bad Day as `Slightly Overdue'

Well that’s the wrong thing to do as an investor. You need to make sure you are positioned correctly BEFORE the reports come out. You think when a bad report comes out that you will be able to sell quick enough to save some capital? The time to worry is prior to the reports.
 
if you don't have the earnings piece, how can you be an informed investor and make rational decisions about/changes to your investments? worrying is unproductive. reacting to the volatility of the market on a daily basis is insanity
