I’m on my system right now (on a regional video conference call, too, so I have to pretend that I’m paying attention to that) and looked up what MFs/ETFs hold Nikola. Fidelity is in on it big time, but they’re the only major company that is. The rest are fund companies I’ve never heard of.

Actually, those stocks make up very VERY little of most 401ks/retail brokerage accounts that the average investor owns. The VAST majority of large cap growth funds either own zero or just a fraction of a percent of Nikola or the other stocks that we’re discussing. MAYBE TSLA might make up a percent of some funds, but

Uber, Lyft, Tesla, Nikola... At least two of those remind me of Pets.com. The one that’s actually showing a profit was literally a few weeks out from being insolvent a few years ago, with large cap status. Absolutely ridiculous.

This really should be illegal, in my opinion. Manipulating the value of a stockby releasing these kinds of “reports” after taking a net short position is a scumbag move and very Soro-esque (I don’t give a shit what the guy’s politics are, he’s an asshole who broke the Bank of England so he could show a profit, and he

It’s the VCs and major stockholders/board members that take the companies public before (in my opinion) they should. The M&A firms/investment banks just facilitate the transactions; the company’s decision-makers are the ones pulling the trigger on the IPO.

I like it. Can I get it with a more reliable Ferrari engine?

Are you saying that you don’t trust a brand-spanking new engine from an Italian sports car company that has never built such a thing? Pish posh.

Just to clarify, I manage people’s wealth for a living. People that can buy several of those cars cash. People with probably more investable assets than the gentleman who we’re chatting about.

I don’t even mind him buying a car that drained his bank account. It’s asking for strangers for $100k that’s annoying me.

IS THAT A PELICAN IN THE BACKGROUND?!?!?

I don’t know what you’re talking about. The kid can fit in the Lambo’s frunk until it’s around three years old.  Plenty of room.

Just make sure that it has those mesh net thingies as doors.  Kids love that shit.

I MIGHT be wrong, but I’m pretty sure I’m not. Hopefully, their child was born healthy and mother is doing well.

How the hell else do you light a Cuban cigar?!  With a lighter?!  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHSASHAHA!!11!

If my internet stalking amateur sleuthing skills are correct, Mr. “My Huracan Sucks” and his wife just had a baby about a month ago. This might not be a good time to drop six figures into the engine of your six figure Italian two-seater/mechanic’s children’s college fund.

Let’s get down to brass tax, Andrew.  How many bodies can fit in the trunk?  Or do I need to go get another Cadillac?

No it’s not.  Lighten up, Francis. 

Sup? I like your name. So you and your wife

How many times during the day do you see a vehicle and think about the size of the owner’s penis?  Would you say constantly?  Seldomly?  Is right now the exception to your penis-involved thoughts?
