Their business model is simple: nearly every brand you see on the shelves is a house brand. They take care with the quality of their house brands, and since they have zero advertising costs and accept lower margins, those brands are both good and extremely cheap. So they sell
It's because Muslim extremists in India do the same as everywhere else: kill civilians wholesale
Seems like you shouldn't have an opinion if you don't understand how widespread the problem is. I'll give you a (non-exhaustive, off my head) list of where Muslim extremists killed
I'll give you this. It's amazing that $TSLA is still at $353.50, when it's been 100% confirmed that it was all a lie. That it was a fake bid. That nothing existed, and now TSLA and Elon are only trying it for real because he needs to try and stay out of jail.
@MichaelAArouet
The chart will understate the problem, because working entails a number of further costs (beyond time and effort), including transportation, clothing, meals outside home, etc.

Debt issued by the RoC, which the US allowed to remain existing as an entity by shielding Taiwan from the revolution in the mainland 🤣
The US would have to ask it from the RoC, as a result...

This is an uninformed take - there are no barriers to wire money out of HK. The event likely happened as an attempt to avoid gold import taxes into Japan.

@Tendar
Well, it wasn't coincidental... It's literally a festival in support of peace FOR Gaza. A lot of westerners are sold on the theory that this violence happens because of both parties, because of Palestine, etc.
They don't seem to understand similar violence against civilians
The whole $TSLA thing was predictable. The bid was predictably fake and predictably dropped. It was literally the most obvious case of market manipulation by a large company I can remember since I follow the markets. The SEC will be a joke if it doesn't act hard on this.
@PAstynome
If China became a democracy tomorrow, the restrictions out on China by the US wouldn't disappear. If Taiwan joined China peacefully tomorrow, the restrictions put on China would expand to Taiwan, even if Taiwan remained a democracy.

@Tendar
It has happened on a much smaller scale. For instance 2 Scandinavian women which were "anti-islamophobia" activists were killed and beheaded in Morocco.
The truth is that there's an extremist islamist segment which is as close to evil as people can possibly be. Widespread
It's slightly amusing that $TSLA is up nearly as much as the entire $GM is worth, just on a deal to let GM customers use TSLA superchargers. (No position)
@Lingshan
@Tendar
Unfortunately also, people don't seem to understand that this isn't a mere coincidence. There is a thread connecting all of these incidents, including in Russia, France, Israel, Spain, US, India, etc ... And guess what, Palestine is NOT the common thread.
Now the formal SEC investigation into the fake bid means no $TSLA equty raise. Quite likely, no equity raise without getting rid of Elon Musk. The probability of the whole thing coming unglued went up materially.
For now, we're learning that it's possible for a high profile CEO to post a fake bid on Twitter, clearly manipulate a stock, and have the SEC not act for nearly an entire week to put an end to the manipulative effect. $TSLA

It's actually not, it's a scenario foreseen in the rules of war, and literally an exception to the rules of proportionality.

Well, obviously the Jeep ran away because he thought the Tesla crashing into it after the initial crash was a reaction and then things could get violent.
Also, this isn't going to be an easy crash for insurance to solve, because not all of the damage was from the initial crash -
@Doylech
Why so?
No Arab countries want to take them because they've been reliable in causing trouble in the past - why do you think they wouldn't cause trouble in the UK? What's the logic?
Suddenly, $TSLA is cutting EPA ranges across the board, something many (including me) had pointed to as inflated versus other brands as well as itself (when comparing WLTP, etc)?
This is relevant. Also, it shows that US regulators continue to treat it softly (unless a huge fine
Elon just tweeted he's going to jail. He basically said he tweeted "Funding secured" because of his "strong feelings". Meaning he has SHIT docs or even intentions from anyone! The Fake Bid is confirmed! $TSLA

@orikron
It's due to the extreme anti-China campaign started by the US.
The most feeble-minded elements in society gobble it up and end up acting in completely stupid / noxious / dangerous ways.
It's not unlike Nazi antisemitic propaganda in the 1930s.
@WarMonitors
Every war leads to the cutting of supplies to the enemy.
You're thinking about something DIFFERENT, where in war the enemy's ability to produce electricity, water, food, fuel might be targeted. However, even that also often happens in war.
Nothing the US says about China makes any sense, any longer. And nearly everything said in the US, both by Politicians and by the media, regarding China, is basically obvious Anti-China propaganda.
It's really quite impressive, the place we arrived at. But it's also 100%

@PGourevitch
Also, there's a border with Egypt. Since they didn't go around killing Egyptian civilians, maybe it would be more adequate to ask them to open the border and also ask for the supplies.
Here's a funny thing: Elon Musk's + $TSLA fines, $40 million, were 80x larger than Elizabeth Holmes' (Theranos, will likely do time) and ~5x larger than Martin Shkreli's (7 year jail sentence). When it comes to fines, these are pretty large. Hence the DoJ should also strike.
@georgegalloway
You know what started it, and it was obvious then how it would end as a result.
There's not much point in thinking this is going to be over before Hamas is fully gone no matter what.
The time to worry about these consequences was before starting it.
@rshereme
Well, sorry but since Western car brands abandoned the market, of course Koreans, Chinese, etc, took most of it...
There's zero surprise there. This wasn't done to repurpose factories or something - it was a mere consequence of Western competition disappearing and people still
@jojjeols
It's actual reality. There was a war on terror and extremism in Xinjiang. A successful one, with very few fatalities and a massive increase in living standards. Contrast it with the war on terror in Afghanistan, a failed one, with massive fatalities, dreadful living standards.
What would you do if you had bought nearly 5% of $TSLA and suddenly saw its CEO claim you were all up to buying it all, when you knew for a fact you weren't?
@FrogTroubadour
Mass would have more momentum, it would be harder to stay on the bull, plus their grip strength won't be severely compromised.
It's a bit like bulky guys aren't necessarily the best at pull ups, either.

You can imagine US companies would lose access to the Chinese market AND production facilities there (a lot of which export to the US...)
In the end, the impact on US companies would be much larger than on China

This report was funded by the US state department, and then this organization erased the source of funding.
That's all you need to know about this particular report.

He doesn't want to say "no" as it would insult the US. But everyone knows the problem with TikTok isn't one of national security - but one of it being a competitor to US social networks.
Much like Huawei was shot down for competing with $AAPL, or else not letting Huawei sell
The Elon Musk $TSLA bid is STILL fake. There is no bid. The BOD saw no bid. Talking about is not the same as "here's a bid", even if we believe they actually talked about it.
@JamieMetzl
Still, it makes no sense to criticize China for its wrongs when these pale in comparison to the US on literally the SAME thing.
For instance, criticizing on China's (successful) fight against Islamic terrorism and extremism in Xinjiang, while not seeing a 100-1000x bigger
@brentdsadler
There's probably more in this story that's not being told. For instance, whose fishing nets were those, and how did they get into the propellers?
So now you got $TSLA at $350, with a fake bid, wtih Elon trading shares on inside (Saudi) info, and with him tweeting the fake bid on acid. It gets better all the time.
This is a much fairer and realistic take on Xinjiang than any of the bullshit anti-China propaganda being spread by the US.
It's sad that the US stooped so low and is effectively punishing millions of ordinary people just for propaganda and political purposes.
This is absolutely huge: the UN Special Rapporteur on the matter calls to lift Western sanctions against China because they dangerously undermine basic norms of law (like the presumption of innocence) and violate human rights, particularly in Xinjiang.

$TSLA FSD in China JUST means deploying the same kind of driver assistance features all main competitors have.
It does NOT mean having actual self-driving services - there are already such services, and it's a different license. Companies like $BIDU explore such fully driverless

Yes, to hide it, China even allows 100-200 million tourists in per year.
None of the problems exist in neighboring Afghanistan, which the US peacefully turned into a progressive, religiously tolerant, wealthy country, without even harming or displacing anyone.

@D162Michele
Notice 2 pieces on China in the Telegraph alone... This is across a lot of media. It can't be a coincidence.
In China or even Russia, which are often said to be much more "propaganda-inclined" you will NOT see this level of media attention to the US...
@yanisvaroufakis
If there was ethnic cleansing:
1) The population would decrease
2) The problem would already not exist
So Israel might be doing a lot of things, but ethnic cleansing isn't one of them.
The $TSLA fake bid will allow us to know whether Elon Musk is above the law or not. If he goes through this unscathed, he is. This is as much a test of markets, as it is a test of law and its fair application.
Hong Kong stocks are simply different.
Now I had a holding which trades at 4.0x earnings grow earnings by 38% and announce a 40% dividend increase (all while already paying a 11.1% dividend yield, now 15.6%...). And the whole thing trades for less than half its net

No, the jeep is obviously at fault, and if the Tesla had stayed there things would have been clear.
However, after the initial crash, the Tesla slammed into the jeep, went into a ditch, etc, under its own power. Given that, it's obvious that the damage to the Tesla is NOT all

The "Iranian sanctions" are US sanctions on Iran. Hence, law which should apply to US citizens or those living in the US. The lady was the CFO of a Chinese company (hence not bound by US law) selling PCs to an Iranian telecom company, also not bound by US law. This didn't violate
The $TSLA board will act as if this is normal because that's an obvious way out: Treat the thing as a real deal. Then, somewhere down the line, drop it for some later excuse. Done. But this won't work...

Though look at it this way: even though there's a lot of years between 1999 and 2023, the official inflation between those 2 years was 83%. And the numbers as put by you represent 233% inflation.
And this is probably not uncommon, as there's reason to believe both US inflation

@Ghostwalker4004
Muslims feel abused and kill civilians the world over. The common denominator in this violence is "Muslims", and it's VERY unlikely there's a reason to kill civilians in so many different places.
By buying $TSLA stock, Elon Musk basically declared he has nothing else coming up. He just lowered the risk to shorts, with that buying. IF he had something else coming up, he'd be in instant trouble.
@kevincarrico
The Malvines are also across the world from the UK (indeed, a lot farther away than these shoals). Where stuff is doesn't mean a lot. The arguments are different. It might be that China is wrong about it, but not because of the Geo position.
So, assassinating your enemies in a foreign country with a drone is acceptable, but with something else isn't?
This makes it clear assassinating in a foreign country isn't the problem.
I'll put forth that the threat of actual, violent or subversive action, past, present or

It's actually nice. Life is more interesting when you spice it up within the couple instead of just behaving like another cog in the machine.
$TSLA longs are very lucky to have an exception from the SEC, where the CEO can endlessly hint at material developments without disclosing them. Any other instance of the same behavior from another company wiould likely lead to consequences.

Thankfully there's some smart civilians in there.
Hopefully only Hamas supporters will remain in the risky zones.

This is really deplorable, as $TSLA doesn't have any FSD technology it can deploy. TSLA doesn't even have any idea of when (or if) it will have FSD technology. Selling the FSD option is straight fraud.
