Is anyone considering Tesla now that Elon has his pay deal? Tesla has to achieve a market capitalization of 8.5 trillion for Elon to get paid. Surely that would make them the largest company in the world. Would anyone bet against Elon achieving that? I would love to invest in Elon. I'm seriously considering selling some Apple and Amazon to buy Tesla.
Since I sold my TSLA some time back in this thread....I really dont follow them at all....other than random articles that I happen to see. I have no plans to buy anything....since I have no free money.
Looks like the shut-down is basically over with. Government shutdown latest: Senate advances a new bill to end the shutdown. Here's what's in it. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/live...the-shutdown-heres-whats-in-it-100414796.html
PRE-MARKET....I am seeing absolutely.....NOTHING....of any consequence in my reading. No fun articles, no weird articles, no long term investing articles, no crazy fear-mongering media articles, NOTHING at all of any interest to anyone reading this thread. Futures are nicely green....but there is no guarantee that futures will be real when the markets open in ten minutes. At that point I will just note how we opened and go into SLEEP mode......while the markets sort things out for the morning.
Ok....a few minutes in we open at GREEN across the board for the big averages. Time will tell if this can hold through the day. I open today with the usual mix....COST and HD red. Everything else green. I have a big gain to open....as expected with the shut down news. "Now I wait".....my motto as a long term investor. I guess if I had a coat-of-arms......this would be on it.
The markets at the open today. Stocks rise as plan to end shutdown starts moving through Congress https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/09/stock-market-today-live-updates.html PLTR up +5%. NVDA up +3.6%.
