If Tesla had a market cap of $80B it would be trading at 6.06 times Q1 earnings annualized. Having grown revenue 81% and gross profit 147% in the prior year… It’s currently undervalued at 10x that price. Re being small: its operating income

The revolution is in manufacturing and vertical integration: you have to look at margins. Tesla’s operating margin was 19.2% in Q1, and is apt to rise. Very few other companies even make a profit on their EVs, and none that do are anywhere

Stanley Druckenmiller: I’ve never used the stop loss. Not once. It’s the dumbest concept I’ve ever heard. [If a stock goes down 15%] I’m automatically out. But I’ve also never hung onto a security if the reason I bought it has changed.

He makes it clear he’s the sort to play ball, so he gets the money for the campaign. He plays ball, so he gets paid. And it’s not $400k, it’s $10-20 million per year indefinitely. See my other comment—-the Clintons made $150 million on spee

I don’t understand, you say $400k is nothing, but then say he would have made money from the speaking circuit regardless, as if he didn’t do just that, and as if taking vast sums from powerful corporate interests whose interests he’d manife

He didn’t support a single payer system or a public option, he just made mouth noises to that effect. Look at the recent failure in California to bring a single payer bill to a vote, despite the Governor’s ostensible support and Democrats’

We conduct this sort of research, and in fact the NIH funded gain of function research taking place at WIV. So first we could reinstate the moratorium that was lifted in 2017, and we can stop funding it elsewhere. If the ultimate conclusi

If the virus was a product of gain of function research, the primary purpose of which is to reduce the risk of pandemics, then the research becomes much more difficult to justify. The argument I guess becomes then, yeah, periodically we’ll

M4A is very popular, with 69% support in the US. The reason it hasn’t been instituted is that the US is an oligarchy. As such, policy is formed according to the desires of the oligarchic class rather than broad public opinion, and they oppo

Just because two "bad" people liked something in a certain way does not mean that "good" people must therefore like it the converse way. Both Goebbels and Stalin may also have liked butter and jam on their

Goebbels was in favor of free speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you’re really in favor of free speech, then you’re in favor of freedom of speech for precisely the views you despise. Otherwise, you’re not in favor of
