OT: Stock trading

Speaking of Tesla, I was listening to Cathie Wood speaking via Zoom at Schwab’s Impact event a couple of weeks ago and she was saying she thinks that autonomous transportation is going to be huge over the next 10 years. At the moment, the shiny penny is EVs but 90% of traffic accidents are caused by human error and once the government really puts focus on that, autonomous vehicles will be the next to take off. And that being said, Tesla is so far ahead of every other company in autonomous car testing that there really isn’t much of a competition.

The govt should be more concerned with making work from home more universal to have less people on the road and less driving in general.

That’s a good start.

Plus, who is paying when the machine/AI makes an error? Why would I pay when I wasn’t driving?

Could The Archegos SEC Investigation Solve The Tesla Gamma Squeeze Mystery

In December 2019, odd call buying started to appear in Tesla, which then went up by a factor of almost 10x. A year later, Archegos would blow up after engineering squeezes in highly shorted names.

Cathy's Ark fund has poorly timed some investments, she purchased HOOD right before they broke news on a customer hack.

I agree that Tesla is more diverse, but with Bezo's backing you, you have to belive that they will be a part of Amazon's long term strategy of autonomous delivery distribution chain.

I purchased as much as I could. Moving on to building crypto assests

until Richard Hammond crashes one of their cars.

I am not in on EVs. I’d be in on EV infrastructure perhaps. The big car companies have major advantages. The new infrastructure bill shuts out nin union shops for example.

Not only that but they can also see the mistakes places like Tesla make and use their inherent advantages to seize the opportunity.

Plus the car market is just a high competition low margin business

Speaking of which, this commercial gives me a pit in my stomach every time I see it. I don't see myself ever being comfortable with autonomous driving; I've had a car with an auto park feature for a couple years now and I've still never even tried it:

I'll never understand it, driving is one of the truly fun things in life. This commercial is like something out of a horror movie.

our infrastructure can't handle the change the ESG movement wants to happen. I've also listened to podcasts and read threads saying the autonomous driving isn't possible right now or at least what Tesla claims.

Side note: the ESG is going to be devasting as they move to completely destroy traditional energy

One of the scenes looked like they were going over the old Tappan Zee Bridge in which case a computer malfunction would be the least of their worries.

I couldn't agree more. I love driving, and I still miss driving a stick. The more engaged the better imo. This is exactly the opposite.

But we are increasingly dinosaurs; the vast majority of my kids' generation has very little interest in driving.

Voyager for OCEAN, I think kucoin/bitrue and a swap for raven last I checked. Do your DD with those to see if you want to get them

Not true in the MA burbs. My son is 5 months into his license and has driven more than I did in my first 1.5yrs. With the >17 no passenger laws they caravan to games, fast food joints and various houses. Preachin' & Prayin' for carefulness.

I'm sure there are exceptions everywhere; and I'm guessing--in general--that boys are somewhat more inclined than girls. I have three daughters and each has been a bit different with respect to attitudes about driving, but it would hard for any of them, or your son, to compete with the amount of driving I did as a kid. I got my license as soon as possible and bought my own car soon thereafter. Drove a half hour each way to school; and then to and from work; and then out for the night. I bought and sold more than a half dozen cars by the time I was out of law school and drove across the country four times during that time--driving every single mile myself.

It's a good thing that kids have so many other options these days; I shudder to think about the conditions under which I drove much of the time back then. But it's also true that the vast majority of kids now have much less experience driving as a result, and I see the consequences on the road every day.

Yeah, I’m in the MA burbs like @Dogdeacon and my daughter did get her license and does drive here and there, mostly to Chipotle and Patriot Place, but she sure doesn’t drive for the sake of driving like I did as a kid. Manchester had a crazy big car culture though. The MHS parking lot was like going to a classic car show. She did have a fairly long commute to Bishop Feehan high school several towns away, but Covid meant that she didn’t do it nearly as often as we expected.
