    So now the Biden administration, along with Congress and the major regulatory groups, are going to look into this whole kerfuffle and figure out how to address it. I sure as hell hope they take a good hard look at how hedge funds have been manipulating things behind the scenes for a long time, and put serious pressure on them to be more transparent, while regulating their hold on the market in general. Their actions triggered the Redditors to do this, and so they must be held accountable. The amateur investors who pulled this off were still free market traders, despite the manipulation and swings they caused.

    Tesla market cap is now $835.89 billions, approaching a trillion.
    US economy equals $21 trillions.

    If Tesla continues its growth, say, same as in 2020 (+800%), it will make up 30% of US economy. A little high for a company which makes electric cars. Ask yourself how many of your acquaintances own a Tesla.

    The problem with charts like this is that they don't just stop growing and go sideways form there...

    Tesla is clearly a bubble, not very dissimilar to Yahoo or any IT tech stock from 20 years ago. I think 2021 is the year it meets the ceiling.

    • Yep. this has very little to do with Tesla as a company, and much more to do with Tesla as a stock. Look at game stop today (Jan25) for some more craziness.monNom

    • Tesla is worth a lot because they have the best electric vehicle on the planet nobody can match at that $ pt. Also a massive Supercharger network.monospaced
    • So, it has more to do with them as a growing company, and not just hype for stock. It might be overvalued, but not by much.monospaced

    Responding to @_niko – i don't think we need to become hedge fund managers but what I have realised in recent years is that we need to teach our kids to invest, get familiar with the markets and do it EARLY. I've only just started paying attention to it and MY GOD i wish someone had sat me down in my 20s and told me what to do. Obviously technology and retail investing is way more accessible now, but still....

    Even just a few investments in passive index funds can earn money on the daily in a strong market, and i'm damn's sure I'll be having the conversation with my boys when they're old enough.

    So I don't think the artist, the craftsman, the farmer, the soldier need to turn into day traders YOLOing stimmy checks into meme stonks for tendies, but I do think that a bit of literacy will take you a long way. Hoping so for my kids anyway!

    • Don't regret, dude. Many people sat me down in my 20s and told me exactly what to do and I didn't because I was in my 20s. Young dudes think they know everythinnb
    • I'm glad someone told me! Intro'd me to vanguard last year and I started in some ETFs with an inheritance check – not much but off to the races!DaveO
    • Yeah there's that stuff but in my early 20s I was barely surviving, living on credit, was relatively poor. Saving was out of the question. Low wages are tough.nb
    • I've been buying small steady shares on behalf of my kids since their birth. National Grid, HSBC and Rothchild funds. Compound interest is the true force.Hayzilla
    • My dad has always been a 'day trader' and did the same for me but I couldn't give a fuck until in my 30's.Hayzilla
    • Agree Dave0 I had a talk with my kids recently, I started investing again this year more seriously after a decade or so off, but I told them It might be too_niko
    • late for me but what little investing I'm doing now will be all theirs one day, I said imagine if your grandfather had bought apple in the 80's even 1k worth_niko
    • I'm going to let them research a company and buy a few shares for them and let them follow it. They've already realised investing in sneakers is a waste lol_niko

    My wife and I are considering investing $1k into something via e-trade or one of the leading stock sites online. I'm especially interested in cannabis stocks and while the early entry-point was a couple years ago (from what I've read) I've been doing a lot of reading about the growers and their stock, and the larger non-cannabis companies getting into deals for infused products and other things.

    Where's the best place to start and what's the easiest path to take to get an account up and running, and invest in something we feel has potential? Any good guides out there? Any advice from experience?

    • You should've invested 1k 30 years ago. Now 1k won't get you anywhere really.NBQ00
    • At this point it's really just a "get ourselves familiar with things" approach in advance of working with a financial advisor once we're ready to put more in.mg33
    • don't invest in pot stocks!monospaced
    • If you want to do it right, go to a big house like Charles Schwab or similar, and open an account and talk to them. It won't cost anything.monospaced
    • Right now there isn't a pot stock buy. None of them are really making money and there aren't any big companies that have solid business plans that are publicmonospaced

    • Everyone i know who invested in pot stocks lost 98-100% of their money the last 3-4 years. Not even exaggerating. Billion dollar valuations evaporated overnightmonospaced
    • If you want to invest, find some stable mutual funds that will provide long term growth, and then smartly invest in stocks on the side, which is more risky.monospaced
    • Oh, and $1000 isn't really worth investing. Go for a lot more, or else you'll never really feel like you've done much.monospaced
    • Aurora was selected by the German government as a supplier and they are expanding their growing facilities. They expect a sharp rise in revenue in the mid-term.zarkonite
    • That being said, I think Mono's advice is sound and a better idea than pot stocks.zarkonite

    • As for pot stocks, they are the riskiest thing you can buy. 99.9% will flame out and lose everyone all their money (except the execs and underwriters)monNom
    • What you're really talking about is gambling, not investing. Better to go to the horse-races, as your transaction fees will be lower.monNom
    • If you want to invest, put 60% in a basket of diverse equities and 40% in bonds and equivalents. Slow and steady with little chance of losing everything.monNom

    • Mono's advice is spot on. I would be careful of investing too much in anything now, though. EVERYTHING is overpriced - stocks, bonds, gold, etc.formed

    You "borrow" 100 stocks at $10, you sell them right away and make $1000. Then the stock drops to $7 and you buy 100 shares back costing you $700 so you give those 100 shares back giving you a proft of $300.

    So the mechanism for "borrowing" is unclear to me. Who are you borrowing from? Are they approaching other firms that hold the stock?
    or are is this more like "Owning Mahoney" where they play with the peoples money in the safe, taking it to the casino and returning it in the morning?

    • writing this I think it's got to be selling the shares they're already holding for clients._niko
    • You're selling a contract which describes the arrangement you just mentioned, for a fee. The shares only move when the contract expires.zarkonite
    • The short sellers on GME are "holding" by buying new contracts when their old ones expire, but the new contracts are increasingly more expensive b/c of reddit.zarkonite
    • Eventually they'll run out of capital to buy new contracts (or just feel like enough is enough) and take the loss.zarkonite
    • The short sellers are panicking because this was supposed to be a small job, but it's turned into a multi-billion dollar bet. Thank you internet mob!zarkonite
    • you borrow from your exchange. until recently, most individual investors didn't have access to those kinds of trades. RH and others changed that.sarahfailin
    • what's the time frame like and who calls it? can't they say I'll buy the new contracts when the price comes back down? what are the consequences of not coverin_niko
    • talk to me like I'm Ralph Wiggum :)_niko

    • it's a bet. just like racing. you don't own the horsetrooperbill
    • Im thinking you shouldn’t be able sell something you do not own in the first place. Is it a error/gap In the system...islandbridge
    • ...And If that’s the case, could this be fixed with blockchain technology?islandbridge
    • @zarkonite thank you for having
      the patience to describe this :)

    I'll admit, the FOMO I'm feeling with this whole GME/Reddit thing is real, and I'm regreting not having jumped on, by virtue of being skinter than skint. I reckon it would be too late to jump in today anyway, now that the US government has decided to 'monitor' the situation.

    Still, bigger than that, I wonder if this isn't the start of something. Reading the threads on Reddit, there's a serious tone of wanting to fuck 'the man' over, French Revolution-style.

    Is this where we're going? The revolution will be Reddit-ised?

    • imagine getting in yesterday morning before the 1st halt, after the 2nd gods of NASDAQ or GME decide to halt it for the 3rd time until the end of the day.sted
    • or worse until the end of the week.
      hype goes away and the price tanks in a matter of minutes.

    • It only gives you the illusion of a revolution because its 4chan style tonested

    • It’s not about the money, it’s about sending a message.palimpsest
    • The message is "we are many people with no plan and we don't care about the crash we are creating".formed
    • Remember, people only make money when they sell. 99.9% of these fools will be destroyed. All this 'david vs. goliath' bs is total bs.formed
    • The problem is that people tend to abandon their morals when they are faced with a choice between their cause and their riches.nb
    • This whole thing is BS. Artificial and intentional gross manipulation is not legal.monospaced
    • ^ it’s exactly what every Wall Street firm does, monoGnash
    • you make the one point that everyone should take away from this, too, and hedge funds need to have their asses checked quickmonospaced
    • the WS firms do make moves differently, and not entirely out of emotion like this :)monospaced
    • These hedgefunds are in trouble because they shorted more stock than exits. This should be illegal, but they have sneaky ways to get around that.monNom
    • But there is no way around owing a share that doesn't exist and being obligated to buy it at whatever price it becomes available at.monNom
    • Yeah. Except billionaire investors who throw in money to cover losses. Which is what happened.monospaced
