Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

[Bonasababy]

Economy isn't great? Elon's "Fun with DOGE" cut his TAM? Financing rates too high? Tell me when there is a fire sale on those vehicles. Most everything can be a buy at the right price. My daughter wants Mom to drive one because it has "Christmas mode". No idea what that is exactly but clearly kids in middle school discuss such things and feel they should be the ultimate decider on all these big decisions.

AI says:




Tesla's Santa Mode is a holiday-themed Easter egg activated via the Toybox in the app launcher, or by voice command ("Ho ho ho"). It transforms the instrument cluster to show a reindeer-drawn sleigh, turns surrounding cars into reindeer, plays "Run, Rudolph, Run," and plays festive bells when using turn signals.

Rich vein to mine for memes and jokes!

I’ve been thinking of getting an electronic rig for my wife and I’s daily commute together. Cost probably outweighs the benefits. I haven’t had time to do the math.

Pretty awesome that you guys can split that commute. As someone who burns an awful lot of fuel on commuting both the wife and I, I'm very jealous. Not to mention the miles on the car regardless the fuel prices.

Should have gobbled up Bidens tax credit when you had the chance. That's probably what Christmas mode means.

Good bye to the $7,500 EV tax credit. What’s that mean for EV prices? | CNN Business https://share.google/Dr0XbECup5d7i1hWh

Elon took most of that tax credit. Suckling off the government teat is how you get to be a billionaire.

Depending on what that involves...Byron Noem might be into it.

A dry teat, is a dry teat, no matter what some fool will try to tell you.

Pretty sure that is happening already, and it started in April 2025. Foreign capital will never leave the US completely, but we have seen foreign countries put reserves go into gold, US treasury holding decline, and build new trading relationships with partners that will further the general trend. It is what I am concerned about the most with this Admin. They destroyed or at least significantly changed a system that put the US on top.


Well, I guess the good news is that it was shorter than an episode of the Apprentice. About as informative though. My guess would be traders won’t want to be long going into the long weekend at the end of today. The cover of this week’s Economist is summarizing how this might play out to a quicker and positive direction.

Seriously impressive rebound in equities today. Buy the dip isn't broken yet. I'm a little worried that oil didn't react similarly (largest one day increase since the rebound in 2020 after oil price went negative), meaning it isn't really a reaction to news on Iran or anything meaningful. Stalemate continues with no obvious plan for an end. Jobs report tomorrow with equity markets closed.
