It gets really interesting at the 3:30 mark. I love that the company is Chinese and the CEO is a brown female Indian. Screw stereotypes.

This is pretty exciting. A car that actually does what they say it will do. NIO opened on the stock market today at $6.48 a share. I didn’t know what they were because their page isn’t developed yet. I wanted to buy in but I had a margin call. No big loss. For the most part, they flatlined at $6.74. I could see this causing Tesla financial problems. ---

I was thinking the same thing when I saw their IPO, but I chickened out. I am just not sure how the electric car market is going to play out so I am not going to invest. I hope they knock it out of the park and I have to regret my decision. ---

That be ok. I’m investing tomorrow and if I do well, I will make sure you don’t forget to regret it. 😬 ---

You mistake effervescent for regret but it’s ok. They smell the same. 🤫 ---

Michele, I’m happy that you’re happy with your small windfall, but I assure you it’d take a whole lot more than this amount of money to make me feel regret. I regret not buying Apple in 1996, for instance. Enjoy your success with this stock. I am very content with my investment portfolio. 🙂 ---

Haha! I know that, Reg! Umm, Apple? Really? Geez, Reg! 😳 I know you don’t trade like this. I am guessing you have a broker taking care of your investment. For me, it’s a hobby I enjoy. ---

Apple for sure. I have read that, if I had bought when Jobs retook the company from Sculley, $10,000 invested would now be worth $5,000,000. ---
