For all of our debate about TSLA, Toyota just quietly hit an all-time high today. I do hold TM.

Then again I also have some LCID and RIVN, so there's that.

I personally consider Toyota to be a signifiant EV laggard, but there's no doubt their core business is strong.

 

If you held TM for 5 years you'd be up what, 75%? I guess there are worse stock to HODL like GM.

 

If you held TM for the last 3 years starting February 5, 2023 you'd be up what, 46%?

If you TSLA for the last 3 years starting February 5, 2023 you'd be DOWN what, -36%? I guess there are worse stock to HODL like GM....oh wait nope, they are only down 30%.

 

I bet you timed the market perfectly and made $1.7 million doing it.

 

My personal opinion is Toyota should stick with their core business, they sell a ton of hybrids which are still very popular. Financially Toyota is solid and the RAV4 and Corolla sell extremely well. I understand why they push back on EV's, it will only be a losing proposition for them at this point, so why even go down that route

 

So they should be like Apple? Just sit back and wait for the others to add the tech, and then come out a year or so later and act like they invented it?

 

Why not? It worked for Apple 🤣 The point here is that going EV will disrupt their business and eat into their sales and profits. The Bz4x should really have never happened. If you are selling over a million Rav4 and Corollas a year, why would you switch gears? Figuratively speaking of course

 

I bet you timed the market perfectly and made $1.9 million doing it.

 

Apple invented the smartphone. Speaking of Apple.



Don't know why I posted that it has nothing to do with Tesla.
I posted what I made. I invest not gamble, anyone can cherry pick a timeline. Do what is best for you don't listen to me.

 

Actually, the first smart phone was invented in 1992, by IBM called the Simon Personal Computer.

And s h i t, I need to hire you as my financial advisor

 

Maybe technically, but the first iPhone changed everything. Touch sensitive context based gesture GUI is pure genius every smartphone today is based on it. The design is so profound we can't imagine anything else. Your Tesla uses the same basic design for the GUI.
I told you to sell TSLA a few months ago.

 

I agree. Anyone can cherry pick a time line, like 5 years ago. But that person may have issues when someone else cherry pick a timeline from exactly 3 years ago. Hilarious isn't it?

 

speaking of ibm, their stock is on a tear lately.
the patent kings

 

Yeah, but you were mad at me when you said it

 

I told you, don't listen to me. Don't take any of my investment advice. Don't consider what I'm saying about disruption, AI, robotics and energy. Do what is best for you.
