Yeah, it’s hard to have a reasonable discussion on this thread with the Teslarati:

You finally got your moment in the sun! Great sleuthing!
Agree. It's tiresome correcting you guysYeah, it’s hard to have a reasonable discussion on this thread with the Teslarati:
Tesla Appears To Be Selling New Cars With Batteries From 2017
I'm sort of confused as to exactly what's going on here but it's worth talking about
The Chinese Communist Party has a 5 year plan to have Huawei produce 35% of all electric vehicles in China. In a battle of Xi vs Musk, I favor the one who doesn't go on twitter after bong hits.
Bong hits and tweets aside, Musk has proven to be the guy that brought EV's mainstream.
Those look like the dudes you get your crypto research from and post videos. Is that “Guy the Crypto Guy” and his sidekick “BitClown”?Hard to keep up with tweedle dee and tweedle dum sometimes. LOL!
What are you correcting? I don’t even have an issue with it because the article clearly stated it was disclosed. But using 2017 batteries in new cars, disclosed or not, for a company like Tesla, is nonsense.
It’s not clear. Apparently Tesla hasn’t given an answer yet. Or I couldn’t find it. The article is worth the read. The whole thing makes no sense. How does Tesla sell a 2021 EV with a 2017 battery? Isn’t the battery one of the most important parts of the car? Also, why does Tesla still have 2017 batteries in inventory - pushing 5 years old? Instead of the Teslarati’s knee-jerk reaction here to piss all over anyone that raises an issue, what’s the explanation?
Hello Pot, this is Kettle.
BS…I have always said I liked Tesla as a company and market-leader BUT hate the stock based on speculative nonsense and will absolutely take the position that competition is here which will hurt Tesla’s chances of world dominance. By the way, we are still waiting on an explanation for why the top EV maker is using 2017 batteries in 2021 models (disclaimer or not).
It's a typical FUD article from an anti Tesla site. Go on the Tesla site and see if you can find a demo car with an old pack. I couldn't find one in the entire tri-state area. So how many of these vehicles exist? 10? Maybe? They're getting rid of some oddball inventory. This isn't newsworthy. Yet, you guys run with the FUD as usual. Just like the many "trouble in China" articles.

It’s the trickle down effect. New car prices are crazy due to supply issues. There was an article predicting a big crash in used car market in late 2022.Strange times. A depreciating asset shouldn’t behave like this:

BGS = who doesn’t like Mrs. Dash and Don Pepino sauce with a 6% dividend instead of CDs? I’m trying to find a reason not to buy B&G Foods for the stable value portion of my portfolio. Other than a quick meme pop, seems to hover in the same range for last 5+ years. Easy 6%?
Maybe I should buy some T! :)
My mom CD, about 250k, with my name matured earlier in the year and I transferred it into a brokerage account and purchased mostly drugs companies PFE up 50%, ED up 13%, VTV 6%, JNJ up3.8%, MRK up3%, DIS down 15%, VZ down 8% FB flat and V up4%. Basically invested 140k and holding 100k for the stock market drop to purchase. Maybe invest in MSFT, GOOG, AMZN. She only wants safe dividend play but she said it really mine money( she 91). I’ll get the step up price when she passes.
Yeah, I just saw that quick meme pop early in the year. Very weird. If you are looking for a good value/dividend stock, this seems to fit the bill. Stable stock price with a good yield. Can't ask for too much more!
Yield is too low for my taste. Plus, you are basically just buying stocks like MSFT and HD and a bunch of the usual suspects.Maybe I should buy some T! :)
These funds are not for individual stock plays. Perhaps VIG is the way too go. Low-volatility equity exposure with a 1.6% yield:
VIG – Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF – ETF Stock Quote | Morningstar
VIG – Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF – Check VIG price, review total assets, see historical growth, and review the analyst rating from Morningstar.www.morningstar.com
As mentioned above, I will mostly dump this money in VIG, but perhaps a few individual div stock plays should be considered. VIG is a great strategy and worth reviewing its holdings:
It's more a play to capture most of the equity market growth at lower volatility. The modest yield helps smooth the journey, but VIG is not a div income play.
I might move some money into this fund. IT’s hard trying to figure where to park the money other than cash.As mentioned above, I will mostly dump this money in VIG, but perhaps a few individual div stock plays should be considered. VIG is a great strategy and worth reviewing its holdings:

Vanguard Dividend Appreciation focuses on quality franchises that have reliably increased the amount of cash they give back to shareholders over time. The fund’s new index utilizes a very similar approach that plies a near-identical strategy, while offering greater transparency and taking a more measured approach to rebalancing in order to minimize market impact costs. We maintain our Morningstar Analyst Rating of Gold for the U.S. share classes and Silver for the Canadian exchange-traded fund.
The fund will switch from the Nasdaq US Dividend Achievers Select Index to the S&P Dividend Growers Index in the third quarter of 2021. Both indexes sweep in stocks that have increased their dividend for at least 10 consecutive years and weight them by market cap. S&P replaces the undisclosed proprietary screen from the Nasdaq index with a simple, transparent yield screen. Both aim to remove stocks with high yields whose dividends might not be sustainable. The S&P index also spreads rebalancing trades over three days instead of one to mitigate market impact costs. While both are market-cap-weighted, S&P uses stocks’ float-adjusted market cap instead of total market cap to improve liquidity.
These stringent selection criteria yield a portfolio that balances income, capital appreciation, and risk. The long look-back period ensures constituents are stable companies with a proven track record, taking out even household names such as Intel INTC or Apple AAPL. S&P’s additional yield screen should continue to steer it further away from distressed companies, similar to how Nasdaq’s proprietary screen improved the portfolio’s earnings growth and profitability metrics. Thanks to this quality focus, a greater percentage of the portfolio is invested in stocks with a positive Morningstar Economic Moat Rating than the Russell 1000 Index. This dials down risk and will give the fund an edge in rocky markets.
The portfolio’s equity income orientation results in sector tilts. As of April 2021, it was overweight in industrials and consumer staples stocks and underweight in technology and energy.
If you believe Tom Lee, market up 4 times by 2029. Tom Lee and Jeremy Siegel are the ones I follow.
Tom Lee is my guy! See the wonderful video I posted above (#11980). Yes, JS is very good as well.
I tend to look for quality stocks that have low PE and close to 52 week low and has a dividend. I recently been buying FDX Federal express. BRK B would be good if it went down a few points, with their high cash balance, they would know where the opportunities are to invest if there’s a 15-20% drop. The big Tech is where I feel safe AAPL, MSFT, GOOG, FB and AMZN.
Speaking of BRK, what's the plan when WB kicks the bucket? Is there a successor?
