Sold some more Apple last week and bought more Tesla. I’m a glutton for punishment.

 

[cybguy]

closed today at $1,208.74. ;-)))

Hopefully you sold off and rebought it on the dip!

I had a sold order from the previous night just before the latest dip. Did not get fulfilled by the morning. Angry, cancelled the order and the the floor dropped out. So, riding the roller coaster with a few more shares bought near the latest bottom.

My hindsight advice is spot on

Oddities in Sony stock close today. Somebody is round tripping.

I got rid of all my TSLA when they said they weren't going to produce any new products in 2022, at the last quarterly meeting.
Glad I did, since then, I've bought and sold a few little dips, selling within a day or 2. Currently, I'm not going to hold Tesla for very long till after the Fed makes up their mind about interest rates. If I can buy for under $700 I might hold it for awhile.
The reason I sold was that I felt like the reason why we bought Tesla was because they were innovating, and going to come out with the Semi and Cybertruck. I'd expect when those 2 hit the highways, the price of Tesla will climb. But at that last meeting all they talked about was focusing on making the current 4 models, to focus on profits. Hell, Toyota makes way more profits than Tesla! That's not why I bought the stock.
I'm out for awhile.

Rumours of Berlin getting the official nod this week.
Think we're starting a new cycle now.

I bought my first Tesla shares at about $388 a share. During these recent dips I bought more at about $820 a share. ;-) I'm a "buy and hold" investor and probably won't sell my shares until about the time my Cybertruck is going to be delivered... it would be cool if these shares paid off my Cybertruck by then. ;-)

If anyone missed, @Gordon E Peterson II flexed just now. ?

Traditional carmakers waste HUGE amounts of money making annual "cosmetic" changes... body styles, taillight designs, bumper styles, trim, and all sorts of other stupid shit just to appeal to faddish stylistic tastes. I think it's a whole lot smarter to avoid all that kind of crap and just build better cars!!!

Someone was bagging on Tesla because “They don’t change their cars”.

But they absolutely do. The other day I ran into a couple who was renting an early (6 years old!!) Model 3 and I helped them figure some things out. But I was pretty shocked at how different it was from my 15 month old Model Y. Lots of little subtle things which you would miss from afar, but getting in and looking at stood out to me.

I love Tesla’s evolutionary approach to cars. Cars released 3 months after mine are noticeably different. Cars 6 months after even different yet. The newer ones have a much faster console, and a bunch of other big changes.

But no big cosmetic changes. That’s for legacy auto so they can devalue their old cars and push the upgrade cycle forward.

Centralisation / Decentralisation

In House / Outsource

And so on.

Over the decades, I've seen trends come and go, I've listened to consultants preach from opposite ends. The flavour of the month... as it were. ( I have a half IT life and half retail life)

Outsourcing used to be the best thing since sliced bread. Outsourcing was maximising efficiency, and allow you to concentrate on your core business and give you flexibility to effect change. etc etc Now in house and vertically integrating everything lowers your costs and gives you freedom to make changes.

I guess a constant has been to flatten management, and less big hats.

I guess, occasionally, I come across younger YouTubers who think Tesla has come up with In House and vertical integration. It's always been there.. it's always swings and roundabouts.

But which is best ?

Tesla has managed to remain the small innovative business owner who has created his own business. He is the cleaner and the tech guy and everything else all in one. It just happens to be 50,000+ people who have taken ownership and are creating a business. They share 1 genius consultant.

Just felt like rambling lol

The thing about it is... You do which works best. Which varies wildly.

Doing it in-house means you can be sure it gets done, and it's really yours. Outsourcing it is perfect if it takes a big investment or you're only going to buy a small portion of the output.

It's like... Sometimes you want to buy a printer, and sometime you just want to outsource a print run. They do different things.
