    • There are different stock price patterns toward the end.  They can just drift downward exponentially.  Sometimes, they enjoy some weird upward ticks, and then drop.  I'm not the biggest believer in efficient markets and some geek PhDs in econ/finance study them, but they probably have to give props to market efficiency so they don't rock the boat.  I wonder how many academics think otherwise. TSLA is not a value stock, so people who aren't really, really financially comfortable should just stay away from it.   The Enron thing was mind boggling ... the flow chart of how they did this was mind boggling, as in overly complex.  There's an interesting movie called "The Smartest Guys in the Room" which we watched in a night class I took.  The head perpetrator had an MBA from Northwestern.  Of all the firms who recruited undergrads from the business school, Arthur Andersen was by far the most arrogant.  (Not enough time and space for details.)  I was actually pleased that they bit the dust and that they were the sacrificial lamb for reform.
    • Today is this individual's birthday. With this birthday, she now qualifies for reduced price deals at Denny's and many fast food restaurants.  I wonder if she has ever set foot in a fast food joint. Interestingly enough, she is attending the Pope's funeral today.   She's looking very "angular" in this photo. 
    • It means something in advertising and the Optiq is like a 0-60 in 60 seconds car, which is fine for 90% of buyers but you have to have that 500 hp option for a 4 second car. And I get that all these EV's are fast, but all these Chinese EV's are doing self driving and crazy horsepower or they can double as a boat or jump over speed bumps or some other crazy thing so you have be able to complete with them in Asia.  And in the USA, Cadillac has to compete with the Germans who all do performance.
    • I'd say Buick interiors are more Hyundai/Kia level.  Yes they are better than Chevy, but Chevy has historically had bad interiors. The new X3 interior is a design mess, but probably still better than anything GM has near that price.  BMW outsold Cadillac and Buick combined last year in the US.  Despite Cadillac's EV resurgence that I think is going pretty well, they still have a long way to go.   GMC to Chevy is Jeep to Dodge, basically the same, a little more trucky and less brand image stigma.  
    • Horsepower means next to nothing nothing in EV. It’s a meaningless metric. Show me torque at zero rpm.
