  1.  @dr.livesey7595  Better areas? Most areas are better than you can afford in Euro nations depending on your priorities. I can earn $200k (if I want to work that hard) and my cost of living is reasonable, but I have decades of experience. There are literally millions of job openings without qualified applicants to take them, been that way for many yr.s. Been over a decade shortage of truck drivers even. I have a friend who has only been a welder for 5 yr.s or so, not even all that good and he's getting $120/hr, yes he's in a more expensive area but that can be managed. Maybe you don't believe it because most folks who are doing well are not wasting time sniveling on these posts.

  2. Never had anything like Tesla culture but yeah they had a chance to survive this decade at least.

  3. Yeah it's always easy to say in hindsight. I take it you were heavy long in AMZN and GOOG(L) for the last 15 yr.s, or at least in the mid 2000's? To say there was "no risk of losing your investment" in those is wrong, there is always that risk, but it's also missing the point....it's no fun to see your money cut in half either and that is CERTAINLY possible with ANY stock. I have done well with AMZN but it too can be hard as it's valuation is extreme and it has dropped some 35% on several occasions over the years, to NOT SELL low can be very difficult when you don't know where it's going to stop falling and you have suffered big losses already, and you never know where it's going to stop. If you think it's ever easy I suggest you haven't had real money in the game for long. I could never quite get my head around NFLX either and I missed out on a stunning 10X!!!....gain in a mere 5 yr.s on that one...that's the way it goes, you miss some of them. TSLA I'm always watching but only traded it a few times, if they manage to really produce it, cut costs, drastically improve quality and start making real money I will reconsider but it may be too late by then if it's reflected in the stock price.

  4.  @darkwoodmovies  Suffice to say you'd pout and turn up your nose to the well used (near worthless even at the time) Ford Pinto I rellied on for many yrs, or the mini pickups that followed for another couple decades. No aircon, no power anything, max speed 85 mph with a tail wind, 45 ponies... NO you don't have to buy anything, learn to take responsibility for yourself and your choices. If you are over 16 and making minimum wage that's on YOU for not investing in yourself and becomming more valuable. I doubt you'd be worth minimum to ME.

  5.  @darkwoodmovies  I invested everything in my skills, work ethics, experience, saving every dime from mechanicing/welding at an underground mine, back to back double shifts for weeks straight, etc. Since the toxic union culture diluted my efforts with a bunch of lazy slackers, I started my own biz at 20 to set my own terms. Anyone in the USA can create their own job and command as much as you are actually worth. NO it's not easy, nothing good ever was, but anyone of near average health and intelligence can do it. Today I'm financially independent, drive the car I WANT not need, own modest place outright, only work part time.

  6. Failure to shoot enough thieves is the primary problem, we need to eradicate the vermin just like the rats they are.

  7. Patel Vidhu American unemployment is about as low as it can get, effectively within about 1% "full employment". You don't have any idea what your talking about. BTW--how much have You made in the markets in recent years???

  8. I seem to get extra bad service from A. as I've never complained about late deliveries. Sometimes I need it ASAP but most of the time I don't.

  9.  @PassportGaming  Success "guaranteed"?? You don't know what a stock even IS if you actually believe that. Were YOU all in all that time? It was SO obvious to you, right!? I invested well over $100k--I'll let you guess where that has me now, but don't kid yourself it could crash tomorrow.
    2
  10.  @PassportGaming  Up until about 2 yrs ago Elon repeatedly said they were on the verge of failure, that's why he floated the idea of Apple purchasing Tesla, remember?

  11. How many here have actually made the effort to examine the science and tried to understand it instead of just being spoon fed by popular media like CNBS? There's never been a time in my 60 yrs where reality wasn't sacrificed on the alter of revenue, drama, fear and/or politics, nor a time when reporters knew or cared anything about science. The data, trends, charts, comparing various greenhouse gasses, etc?

  12. Credit for them creating EV1 now it's time for them to fade away. NO MORE bailouts for failed Co.s

  13.  @LynxStarAuto  Yeah but one can get much more rewarding, challenging creative work in the field. I have mech engineering background/degree but never officially worked in that capacity. However it's been crucial in some aspects of my own biz.

  14.  @y0nd3r  It's about Meritocracy. Profits are a fundamental high moral good, we can't exist without them, it means producing more than consumed to create that production. If you have a job you are a capitalist unless it's 100% for charity. (I realize such obvious facts are left out of typical Marxist college indoctrination) Governments theoretically can limit fraud which has nothing inherent to do with profits, but governments are the ultimate monopoly which means poor performance.

  15.  @monacorising  Fortunate to be able to grow everything from apples to avocadoes, and I do, all organic, peaches and plums in recent weeks, but have to pay the "Commifornia tax," lol. Keep thinking we'll reach peak insanity and the political pendulum will swing but--"markets can stay irrational longer than U can stay solvent" comes to mind.

  16.  @JanaiB72  Fiber in fruit is one reason sugar behaves differently I believe. Only OJ I've had in recent yrs is home picked and hand squeezed the hard way, vastly superior stuff and time/effort to make it limits consumption.

  17.  @rianhatch5459  Thanks for the advice I'm not familiar with them.

  18. It seems a lot of Tesla fan-girls can't handle the bear side of TSLA. Those who are currently or thinking about buying this stock should listen to all sides, there is ALWAYS both a bear and bull case except maybe in the case of Sears or the like.

  21. Those with the poverty mentality don't even realize they are the most blatant bigots in America today, vilifying the creation of wealth while drooling over it at the same time. Disgusting...well represented by obscene trash like Bernie Sanders and Robert Reich (yes there are other reasons to pan Bezos but that's the main one IMO)

  22. Salsabilla It's ALL about the economics, if Elon's estimates are accurate (remains to be seen) then it will sell far faster than they can build them until competitive options arrive. Cummins stock took a hit--that means some smart money is betting for Tesla. If YOU know better--short TSLA. This is the beginning of the end of diesel trucks. I bet you'd have said something similar about e-sports cars a decade ago. The Saudi's are expecting petroleum to have zero marginal value in 20 yr.s. With a few exceptions such as airliners and heavy equipment, combustion vehicles days are numbered.

  23. Aegis Kay What if, as claimed, a trucker can charge another 400 miles during a 30 minute break? Why would even long haulers have a prob with that? And one need not take the time to manually pump fuel for 20 min, plug in and go have lunch.
    2
  24. Chalky Wilston Yes they have disrupted the entire industry even with such low production...that say's almost nothing about their prospects for existing as a company going forward however. They already accomplished Elon's stated goal for the Co....to accelerate the conversion to EVs globally.

  25. 30 models but can they mass produce and sell them at a profit? I doubt it.

  26. Nice compare: Crony Capitalism and Socialism, both destructive to the general prosperity.

  27. The Tag Market My god, how old are you? Don't you get tired of yourself regurgitating the same mindless BS for decades?? I heard the same crap rhetoric about the "BIG BAD OIL COMPANIES" since the 1970's, it's getting old by now. Cramer has only praised Tesla cars!... and both made fun of and praised Elon but advised to avoid the stock. Elon earns both praise and criticism, I personally love the man. The stock is a different thing entirely. You can love the car, the mission and the Man and still shun the stock. To complex for you to grasp? This is a stock show in case you didn't realize.

  28. Robert Foedisch HOW SO? Sounds like cheap slander to me. BACK IT UP or SHUT UP.

  29. Nice to see new ideas but this looks like rubbish. Imagine the slightest lateral G loading on that setup, can it turn at ALL without going sideways? I doubt it. Parking is not a big problem for me anyway. First and last we will see of this concept.
    1
  30. Oiseau Denuit My idea? For those who find parallel parking such a problem which I do not: A) learn how, if you can't then you probably shouldn't be driving anyway, B) purchase a newer car with automatic parking features. Can you not see the obvious sever problems with this set up in the vid? It necessarily has thin round tread making for a relatively tiny contact patch on the road. But the main problem would seem to be extremely limited lateral load capability, dangerously so. And it's an inherent aspect of the design. It's sort of a cute but ridiculous solution to a minor problem that's already been solved in a far better and cheaper fashion. Maybe there is a place for it on some sort of machine but not on a normal car or truck. I would bet money that you will never see it on the market for autos.

  31. Walber Macedo An aside--I don't even want "runflat" tires as they compromise performance and add costs, and for what? That one or three flats per decade that I already have a good solution for? No thanks. I favor some models/yrs of smaller BMWs for example, (own an older one) they adopted runflats and initially trashed the suspension behavior then adapted the suspension to the compromised tires. Now the suspension is compromised for proper light wt. normal tires. Even if the concept in the vid did not have the fatal design flaws I mentioned above, there is for certain a big price and weight penalty to pay for those wheels. Weight is the enemy of car performance and the wheels are by far the worst place to add weight. More mechanical complexity is a negative unless well justified and the more things you try to make it do the less proficient it tends to be at any of those tasks. I want my tires to be optimized for low resistance, high G capabilities for acceleration, breaking AND cornering. And to be affordable and long lasting. That's enough to ask from tires. Have them go sideways is guaranteed to compromise all the other features. There is a darn good reason you don't see high performance road cars (or motorcycles) that are also superb off road. Inherent compromises are unavoidable. It's one or the other. Let alone a boatcar or a flying car,...that's an extremely expensive car, a very expensive plane and it will NEVER be great, if even decent, at either flying or driving. They have been attempted for 3/4 of a century only to prove that point.

  32. Probably hung over and obese. I've worked in direct midday sun up to 114 deg. F many times and with heavy leather clothing and never came close to passing out. Some folks are wimpy.

  34. +Alexandre Milandro One bad call or even a hundred does not define a man who expresses that many opinions on the average day. Only idiots think ANY prediction is a sure thing it is up to you to sort it out and take responsibility for your decisions and sources. He pushed the "FANG" group hard for the first half of last year, far harder then anything else he talked about, and you would have profited exceptionally well being long that group over over that time frame. One could select only his winners and make him look like a genius or just his losers and make him appear to be completely inept, either conclusion is damn foolish.

  35. tcampbell2186  Yeah he's often wrong about a particular show featured stock but he has been right on target concerning those that he has persistently focused on again and again.  Had he convinced you a little over a year ago to get into FB, GOOG, NFLX and AMZN when he first promoted them (if I remember correctly), you would have done very well even though the market as a whole was flat for the year. I just added substantially to both my FB and GOOG positions just a few days to hours before they reported earnings and gained 18 and 11% respectively since then, hard to beat results like that...in part due to Cramer's input although the timing in this instance was the result of other sources.   Cramer has backed off on those four above in recent months as they have run up so much last year but he was sure right to push them in late 2014 and the first half of 2015.

  36. Seriously GOOD Idea! I mean how can he NOT improve on what we have NOW.

  37. Diego Almora Possibly. I assume you have put all your spare money long TSLA then? Talk is cheap. Cramer has always praised the car but (properly IMO) advised to avoid going either long or short TSLA, and he has both praised and made fun of Elon as he does here. You can love the car and the CEO and still shun the stock, too very different things.

  38. forever Like WHAT? More Cynicism = more wisdom?....in Your simple mind only. Back it up or shut up please I have gained some 30% in the last yr. in the markets. How about you?

  39. Transparent Motives   Fine.  That's YOUR loss.  I learn from dozens of sources including JC and they all help me a lot or I wouldn't keep coming back. I could care less if he has direct skin in, he does indirectly in a big way, sorry if you can't grasp that.  But ultimately he is useful, informative in some fashion or not.  You don't know how to benefit from him then DON'T bother with it.  If it was a given that any stock(s) would double in two years, the opportunity wouldn't be there in the first place.  SHEESH.  Get real. Did YOU double or triple your dough on the FANGS???  A lot of others did.  I only got in late and only had conviction in GOOG and FB, they are up nice to very nice in less than a year.  NFLX I could never understand so I never put money on it, missed it and that's ok.  AMZN I believe in long term but only trade it a bit due to extreme valuation....I will buy for medium to long term one day I expect. Lagging indicator?...again...it depends, look at the FANGs two years ago to later 2015 when he stopped promoting the group but still behind the G and the F to a limited extent.  Again he's been right on target for those. And I could make a list that makes JC look brilliant or retarded depending on cherry picking his best or worst calls.  If you think ANYONE is going to be more accurate then a Long Range weather forecast with stocks your far too simple for the stock market.  Stay away, it's for responsible adults only.

  43. Rational Thinker Cramer has consistently praised the product, the CARS, he has both praised and made fun of Elon as he does here, EM is both worthy and deserving of it. I bet Musk would greet Jim with a smile, high achievers like Elon Musk are not normally petty simpletons. Jim has been consistent in advice to "Buy the car if you like the car, don't buy the stock. But don't short it either." GOOD ADVICE because unless you are a pro trader/investor, it's just too hard to figure out and too risky to recommend. Cramer has also driven the Model S of course, and had nothing but good to say about it. A yr. later--I am again considering a small long position in TSLA, could be a wipe out or a home run. If YOU have a strong opinion then put your money on it, talk is cheap, go long or short TSLA. I would tell a friend to buy GOOG, AMZN, CRM, ADBE, FB, MSFT, NVDA, or others instead of TSLA. One of my nephews is a Elon fanboy (I am too!) so I may buy him a tiny bit of TSLA. :D Loving the product, the car, and/or the CEO, does NOT mean you love the stock

  45. Thank You! :-) I purchase "almost everything" from Amazon, the few times I have bought perishables (special cheese) it came in it's own little ice box with necessarily very high shipping costs. Naturally I have Prime but those things are not covered.

  46. Gosh some folks are SIMPLE, Cramer has both praised and made fun of Elon (as he does here) and he has only praised the CARS. It seems you Tesla Fangirls can't grasp complexity. Sorry folks, life ain't simple, Elon and Tesla are NOT simple.
