Tesla's Q1/2022 could have been even better

-
Gigafactory Shanghai (the world's biggest EV factory) produces about 2,000 vehicles daily. As per Elon Musk, Tesla could have produced more if not for the supply chain challenges & 13 days lockdown at Shanghai.

More production growth is expected with Berlin, Texas (grand opening on 7th Apr 2022) and Shanghai's expansion. Shanghai's expansion will more than double production capacity in China to meet growing demand for its cars in the country and export markets. All the locations combined would give Tesla the annual production capacity of 2 million units.  This would not happen overnight as the Gigafactories take time to ramp up, optimize their production and sort out the supply chain challenges from the respective regions. 

Thus, the 2 million annual production looks more possible after few quarters of run in.

Tesla is expected to announce updates about new Gigafactory in other locations soon as Tesla works towards the target of 20 million units per annum production capacity.  This growth does not include the offering of more products & services like Tesla insurance, FSD, solar solutions, battery packs and more.

As always, please research before investing.

My investing muse - Ray Dalio said "crypto maybe outlawed" (08Jan2022)

-
D uring a recent interview with Yahoo Finance,   Ray Dalio has shared his concerns that Cryptocurrencies may be outlawed .  Governments would want a monopoly on money and they have concerns that Cryptocurrencies may jeopardise their currencies' role - leading to depreciation & dilution of value.  Mr Dalio has also expressed his preference for gold over Bitcoin (BTC) despite their performance.  However, this does not stop Mr Dalio from owning some cryptocurrencies. The volatility of BTC can render its own downfall, as a medium of exchange.  Of course, the people would not mind when BTC appreciated but it could also post equal downside.  For regular citizens, the drop of value from USD$63,000 to USD$28,000 within 3 months (Apr 2021 to Jul 2021) can lead to much chaos.    On its way to being a successful currency, cryptocurrency will be a threat to the legal currencies , thus, leading to a possible ban.  India and China have respectivel...

Technical Analysis Exercise (12Apr2022) This is looking at charts based on technical analysis of their 1D chart.  It is strongly recommended to conduct fundamental analysis before we conduct any technical analysis . Abbreviation  (based on 1D chart) MA = Moving Average MA50 = Moving Average 50 days (short term trend) MA200 = Moving Average 200 days (longer-term trend) Being prudent, I will give preference MACD indicator for the following logic:  I will rather be late than too early.  I may get lesser profits but I could (potentially) avoid a bigger loss (entering too early and catching a falling knife).   One of the factors influencing my decision will be the Beta of the stock (above 1 being more volatile).  If the stock is more volatile, I may consider leaning more on stochastic than MACD.  As per my previous article, MACD is giving a much more reliable signal than Stochastic . PLTR 1D chart as of 12Apr22 2320hrs Avg. Volume is 52,748,511 ...
