I smell a rat. If this is what I think it is, we'll have some fun tomorrow.

I thought this post was particularly telling;
The total market cap of the Auto sector is ~$1.065T. Out of that, Fraud Auto
($TSLA $NKLA$NIO) is $323B or 30%, more than the entire JP or EU+US. Fraud Auto
sells <<0.5% of cars. twitter.com/fly4dat/status…

Since announcing the stock split a week ago, Tesla has surged about 500 dollars. The two weeks before, the share was trading really weak and it looked like it was about to fall over the cliff. I am sure idiotic traders with views like above are the major reason for the 500 dollar rallye. I have seen comments on Yahoo where people say that the stock split killed the short case because Tesla would be trading at 300 dollars post split and not even the most bearish analysts had a lower target than 300.

Anyone else in with TILS? I bought in at 1.75 with the anticipation of short term rises but it’s been going down steadily. Online chat suggests US investors are suppressing it but it’s hard to tell what’s really going on. I’m not a big investor as I’m still a novice but it’s good to use these events to learn.
Phase 2 trial coming Q4/2020. What is their cash burn until phase 3 is completed? Given they just sold 60M new equity, I suppose you can expect a lot more of that until anything gets to the market. It will be difficult to keep market attention for something non-Covid related, so the risk is that the next equity offering will be for more money but at lower price, diluting the shit out of existing shareholders. Also, chance of failure pre phase 2 is probably 80% or so.
But you knew that, right?

Well I think I will stick with Amazon..
however the strong pound recently has been a kick in the nuts which was unforeseen and is the equivalent of a 5% hit...
the strength of the pound Is somewhat mystifying or is it a weakness in the other currencies ?
hey ho just need Amazon to keep growing faster than the GBP...
Apple iTV

I've got £20k stuck in ITV shares at the moment ........ here's hoping

Apple can't compete on a TV, not when their ecosystem relies so heavily on golden handcuffs and a 30% cut on in app purchases. Apple TV units were worse sellers than iPods when I worked there. Can't beat an Android TV or putting a £30 Chromecast into the back of a 'dumb' TV. Roku/Firestick etc also available.
Apple will continue to do well and make great products with fantastic margins but a TV isn't something you change every 12-36 months and that's where their specialty now is. I wouldn't buy shares thinking TV is their next halo product or growth area.
I wonder where Apple would be if Steve Jobs was still around and what direction the company would be heading?
Hi Raffe ....I invested quite a while back as the business model is well successful not just retail but AWS ...
But i share your concerns re “control” in relation to 3rd party vendors both in terms of goods offered and use of 3rd party data ...i think the phenomenal growth has created issues with micro managing the size of the beast and i hope they can sort out those aspects....
I saw your post at weekend that kind of stuff needs controlling and i very much doubt Amazon is in favour of it..
No big corp is without its issues BP - deepwater horizon .....Apple Chinese factory worker suicides ....Barclays where to begin...manipulation of LIBOR..manipulation of exchange rates ...insider dealing...6 Billion in fines (so far)

Market cap of Apple is now 25 times that of BP, and 5.5 times that of BP, Shell and Exxon combined.
Nevermind, it's corrected itself now. Odd.
News out: don't know if you have followed the saga around former Tesla employee Martin Tripp? It's a long story about bullying critical former employees and such, but the interesting part is that a whole load of internal document have been released. In this heap, some smart analysts have now found proof of real accounting fraud at Tesla.
The news hasn't really been picked up widely yet, but this could lead to a SEC investigation.

Do a rights issue have a negative effect on stock price or can it help? thinking IAG here, but also more generally.
The rights issue itself is a negative, as it means the share count gets diluted and your claim on forward profits just got smaller. But then, companies are usually in distress when they do these large rights issues and the incoming cash can actually help to mitigate the financial stress, being a positive.
So the answer is: it depends.

TSLA just passed $2000.
Mental....is a massive understatement.
I think the textbooks will be replacing the chapter about tulips, with one about Tesla.
