The really awful thing about this post is that it is correct! The fact is that the poison is not fast acting does not lessen the toxic properties at all, it just allows more time to realize that it was in fact poison. And we see that the federal bank people still believe that what benefits Wall Street benefits all of society. THAT happens to be incorrect, and I am being charitable in saying that it is simply a lack of understanding.
Certainly there are a lot of folks who do need support just to survive, but there are a whole lot more folks who are rather more inconvenienced than in dire straights. Of course, giving only to those in need would be a lot more complex, no question about that.
Supporting all of those businesses that are damaged by the mandatory closures, which would probably be legally classed as a TORT if any other actor did it, is only right, unless there is some magical way of preventing the damage from the closure. So the solution would have been some very clever actions that were not done, as an alternative.
Very unfortunately the author is certainly offering what is undoubtedly correct analysis. And the logic is completely, well, logical. Share price rises not based on actual value increases are not stable and simply will not stand up to reality. But while the claim is that the timing is not predictable, I hold that it can be compared somewhat to the Gartner Hype Curve as explained in some engineering periodicals a while back. So the challenge is to jump off prior to that peak, giving up a bit of profit in exchange for what is still a good profit, but much safer.
What I see as certain is that the federal reserve folks were given instructions to help Mister Trump's friends in the financial sector. Which is not where I live, by the way.
Quite an interesting analysis of the lithium neighborhood, but there is another problem that is also found with battery vehicles, which would exist even if the battery packs were made from ocean water and sand, which is how to recharge all of those batteries. Power available is closely related to the power put in to charge them. And charging faster takes in all of that 100KWH in one hour, or less. Even if the generation capacity were available, the distribution grid is not adequate. And that problem would exist even for our classic lead-acid battery packs.
So in reality the EV dream faces two show-stopping problems. not just the lithium one.
"Quality" does not deteriorate with age, But Quality, or lack of it, certainly will become more obvious with age. Certainly condition and reliability can drop rapidly with age or use, but quality must be present initially to be there at all. Unfortunately many seem to equate features with quality, because it is much easier to point out features that can be impressive.
Selling price cuts are a very interesting thing indeed. The high initial price is for those who want the product first, and to whom a high price is no deterrent to being first. After that the price must drop a bit to reach the buyers who are a bit more rational in that they do not need to be first in line for what they want. There are also often reductions in production costs as experience is gained in what it takes to produce the product, and which variations do not sell well. This may or not lead to another drop, depending on sales. The final price cut comes from consideration of the cost of the unsold product versus the loss in profit because of a price reduction.
The problem is that actual quality usually does cost a bit more when it is designed into a product, and the cost is a lot different than the cost of many features, which may be just a few additional lines of code in the product software. Actual quality usually means having greater safety margins for performance and more durable structure. None of that is free.
Very interesting, and an impressive display of data that appears to point in a specific direction. But I am slower than others to conclude that the past ALWAYS indicates the future, although it is often a valid example of repeat performances. But while I do wager at times, I never am gambling when I do that.
Interesting indeed, and thanks for presenting the summary. Certainly I have no sympathy for the short sellers, and the whole thing is an interesting scenario. Just what is driving those stocks to increase in price is not obvious to me, but that does not affect that they are rising. It would be exciting if I were involved and exposed, instead I am an entertained bystander.
What happened was that the builders and developers realized that the additional expense to make an expensive house is a very small increment above the cost to build a much lower priced house. and because the FED has interest rates so very low now it is simple for those who choose, to buy that expensive house. Hence we have a huge supply of houses that in normal times nobody could buy.
