Now, some Wall Street analysts are making the case that it's just the beginning of a nightmare for Elon Musk and company.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e36a0e75116f0d99a67b1613cfc60eeb\" title=\"Tesla CEO Elon Musk\" tg-width=\"1440\" tg-height=\"960\"/><span>Tesla CEO Elon Musk</span></p><p>David Trainer, CEO of the investment research firm New Constructs, believes Tesla is worth just $26 per share after its latest earnings showed deteriorating margins and waning demand.

Tesla has now produced more vehicles than it sold for five consecutive quarters, and there are hundreds of up and coming EV models set to hit the market over the next few years. </p><p>The only solution to this demand problem is price cuts, Trainer argued, and that brings us to his second key concern—margins. As previously mentioned, Tesla’s gross margins have dropped significantly in the past few quarters due to consistent price cuts and rising costs. And “should demand for EVs slow, Tesla could find itself with higher than wanted inventory levels, which could lead to further price cuts and additional pressure on already falling margins,” Trainer warned.</p><p>Third, Trainer said Tesla is in the middle of a “massive cash burn,” noting that the company has had negative free cash flow—a measure of the amount of cash a company has left after paying its operating expenses and capital expenditures—in all but one year of its existence as a public company (2019).</p><p>“Despite Tesla’s top line growth, it continues to burn massive amounts of cash. Over the past five years, Tesla has burned a cumulative $4.2 billion in free cash flow (FCF), including $3.6 billion over the trailing-twelve months (TTM) alone,” he wrote. </p><p>Fourth, Trainer argued that Tesla bulls rely on lofty estimates for the firm’s full-self driving business and EV charging network in order to value the company, but these business segments “aren’t material” to the bottom line at the moment as some 86% of Tesla’s revenues come from selling cars.</p><p>“Bulls have long argued that Tesla isn’t just an automaker, but rather a technology company with multiple verticals such as insurance, solar power, housing, and, yes, robots. We’ve long refuted these bull dreams,” he wrote. “Regardless of the promises of developing multiple business lines, Tesla’s business remains concentrated in its auto segment.”</p><p>Finally, Trainer believes that with price cuts weighing on margins, and competition from legacy automakers heating up, Tesla’s current valuation just doesn’t make sense. “While Tesla is profitable, its profits are nowhere near the levels needed to justify its current valuation,” he explained.</p><p>Tesla currently trades at roughly 80 times forward earnings compared to just over 25 times forward earnings for tech companies within the S&P 500. </p><p>To determine a more accurate valuation for Tesla, Trainer and his team used a reverse discounted cash flow (DCF) model—a valuation method that estimates the level of future cash flows or profits that would be required to justify a company’s current stock price.</p><p>Using this model they found that Tesla would need to achieve a nearly unprecedented 129% return on invested capital (ROIC) and become more than twice as profitable as Apple by 2032 in order to justify its current share price. </p><p>For reference, Tesla’s trailing twelve month ROIC is just 24%, according to Morningstar data, and although the company earned a record profit of $12.6 billion last year, that was still dwarfed by Apple’s $99.8 billion profit. </p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0e70b4d8695bab0f6c39309ed7d8639a\" title=\"\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"547\"/></p><p>“We aim to provide inarguably best-case scenarios for assessing the expectations for future market share and profits reflected in Tesla’s stock market valuation,” Trainer wrote. “Even doing so, we find that Tesla is significantly overvalued.”</p><h2 id=\"id_2572859896\">The bull case</h2><p>Of course, for every bear, there’s a bull—and Tesla has its fair share of bulls.

Now, some Wall Street analysts are making the case that it's just the beginning of a nightmare for Elon Musk and company.Tesla CEO Elon MuskDavid Trainer, CEO of the investment research firm New Constructs, believes Tesla is worth just $26 per share after its latest earnings showed deteriorating margins and waning demand. That’s roughly a tenth of the EV giant’s Thursday closing price.“Tesla’s (TSLA) second quarter earnings confirm our view that the stock is one of the most overvalued stocks in the market,” the veteran analyst wrote in a Thursday note. Although Tesla managed to beat Wall Street’s consensus estimates for the second quarter, reporting revenue of $24.9 billion compared to the forecasted $24.51 billion (and adjusted earnings-per-share of $0.91 against the estimated $0.81), margins came under pressure.Tesla's gross profit margin fell from its fourth quarter 2022 peak of 24% to just 18.2% last quarter, slightly below Wall Street’s consensus estimate for 18.8%. Musk also signaled that third quarter EV production will be down slightly, hinted that more price cuts could be on the way, and flagged an unpredictable economy in the company’s earnings call.Tesla has slashed prices on some of its most popular EV models over the past year in an attempt to fight off rising competition and economic headwinds, but the move has some analysts concerned about the firm’s ability to maintain profitability. Despite the warnings from bears on Wall Street, Tesla stock has jumped more than 140% year-to-date, recovering from a brutal 2022 where tech and growth stocks were hammered by rising interest rates. After more than a year of recession predictions from economists have failed to materialize, many investors have been anticipating a soft landing for the U.S. economy and pricing in a new bull market for tech shares like Tesla, but David Trainer warned that could be a mistake.“Tesla’s stock has been rising this year amid a sudden shift in overall market sentiment, with many investors now pricing in a soft landing scenario after a brutal past year of Federal Reserve rate hikes,” he said. “But the shift in market sentiment doesn’t change the fact that Tesla’s stock fundamentals are completely disconnected from reality.”5 reasons to be bearishTrainer, whose firm is known for its focus on analyzing corporate fundamentals such as cash flow and profit margins, laid out five main reasons why he’s bearish on Tesla shares Thursday.First, he warned that demand for Tesla EVs has become an issue amid rising competition and consistent inflation. Tesla has now produced more vehicles than it sold for five consecutive quarters, and there are hundreds of up and coming EV models set to hit the market over the next few years. The only solution to this demand problem is price cuts, Trainer argued, and that brings us to his second key concern—margins. As previously mentioned, Tesla’s gross margins have dropped significantly in the past few quarters due to consistent price cuts and rising costs. And “should demand for EVs slow, Tesla could find itself with higher than wanted inventory levels, which could lead to further price cuts and additional pressure on already falling margins,” Trainer warned.Third, Trainer said Tesla is in the middle of a “massive cash burn,” noting that the company has had negative free cash flow—a measure of the amount of cash a company has left after paying its operating expenses and capital expenditures—in all but one year of its existence as a public company (2019).“Despite Tesla’s top line growth, it continues to burn massive amounts of cash. Over the past five years, Tesla has burned a cumulative $4.2 billion in free cash flow (FCF), including $3.6 billion over the trailing-twelve months (TTM) alone,” he wrote. Fourth, Trainer argued that Tesla bulls rely on lofty estimates for the firm’s full-self driving business and EV charging network in order to value the company, but these business segments “aren’t material” to the bottom line at the moment as some 86% of Tesla’s revenues come from selling cars.“Bulls have long argued that Tesla isn’t just an automaker, but rather a technology company with multiple verticals such as insurance, solar power, housing, and, yes, robots. We’ve long refuted these bull dreams,” he wrote. “Regardless of the promises of developing multiple business lines, Tesla’s business remains concentrated in its auto segment.”Finally, Trainer believes that with price cuts weighing on margins, and competition from legacy automakers heating up, Tesla’s current valuation just doesn’t make sense. “While Tesla is profitable, its profits are nowhere near the levels needed to justify its current valuation,” he explained.Tesla currently trades at roughly 80 times forward earnings compared to just over 25 times forward earnings for tech companies within the S&P 500. To determine a more accurate valuation for Tesla, Trainer and his team used a reverse discounted cash flow (DCF) model—a valuation method that estimates the level of future cash flows or profits that would be required to justify a company’s current stock price.Using this model they found that Tesla would need to achieve a nearly unprecedented 129% return on invested capital (ROIC) and become more than twice as profitable as Apple by 2032 in order to justify its current share price. For reference, Tesla’s trailing twelve month ROIC is just 24%, according to Morningstar data, and although the company earned a record profit of $12.6 billion last year, that was still dwarfed by Apple’s $99.8 billion profit. “We aim to provide inarguably best-case scenarios for assessing the expectations for future market share and profits reflected in Tesla’s stock market valuation,” Trainer wrote. “Even doing so, we find that Tesla is significantly overvalued.”The bull caseOf course, for every bear, there’s a bull—and Tesla has its fair share of bulls.

An analyst, however, warned that this could be a false start and the stock's fate is doomed.Struggling Car Maker? Tesla is the “Blackberry of the EV industry” and its valuation could implode as competition intensifies and it becomes clear to investors that it is a struggling car company, said GLJ Research analyst Gordon Johnson, repeating his thesis on the stock.Blackberry, though was the pioneer of smartphones, went out of business as it failed to adapt to changing consumer preferences and competitors flooded the industry.Johnson has a Sell rating on the stock and a $24.33 price target.To support his argument, Johnson noted a Reuters report that said Tesla has doubled discounts on some Model 3 as well as on some Model Y and other cars held in inventory in the U.S. The promotional measure could have been precipitated by waning demand amid economic uncertainties, rising competition and the upcoming Model 3 refresh, he said.Stock Ignores Bad News: The recent stock surge has come despite a spate of bad news in the past, including a lackluster Investor Day, inventory issues in the U.S./EU, moderating sales in China, concerning lead times and new price cuts, Johnson noted.Tesla's stock strength, according to the analyst, is due to the $233.024 billion in liquidity the Treasury injected into the equity markets in May alone. The liquidity injection in the 30 days is equal to 25 years of Fed's balance sheet expansion, achieved through the working down of the Treasury General Account balance, and to a lesser extent AI euphoria, he added.Johnson expects Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to withdraw $600 billion to $900 billion from equity markets, now that the budget bill is on the cusp of being enacted.\"We believe TSLA's fundamentals may, shortly, come back into focus.

In other words, rather than wait around for a low-probability business to turn itself around, you can direct funds toward viable opportunities. Ideally, you shouldn’t burn your cash with troubled enterprises; hence, it’s always good to pay attention to stocks to avoid. Failing that, you should make the tough decision to target going-nowhere stocks to sell.</p><p>Granted, this is a difficult topic so I’ve enlisted the help of investment resourceGurufocus.com. Specifically, I used one filter to narrow down these stocks to avoid – the probability of financial distress. Each of the names below features a distress probability of at least 90%. So, if you’re ready, here are the stocks to sell (or just not bother diving into right now).</p><p><b>Stocks to Avoid: Riot Platforms (RIOT)</b></p><p>A cryptocurrency mining company, <b>Riot Platforms</b>(NASDAQ: <b>RIOT</b>) undoubtedly attracts significant attention. However, it’s time for investors to be realistic about the underlying sector. With digital assets struggling against the Federal Reserve’s commitment to control inflation through interest rate hikes, RIOT faces huge risks. Therefore, it’s one of the stocks to avoid.</p><p>It’s not just about the broader narrative. As Gurufocus.com warns, RIOT may be a possible value trap. Some “paper” metrics might look appealing based on RIOT’s trailing-year loss of over 57%. And to be fair, the company does post impressive stats, such as a cash-rich balance sheet. In addition, its three-year revenue growth rate stands at 57.4%. However, its operating margin fell 9.18% below parity. Right now, Gurufocus.com shows that its net margin plummeted to 133.39% below breakeven. Even the growth rate is questionable. In the fourth quarter of 2022, Riot only posted revenue of $60.1 million, down 34% from the year-ago quarter. Thus, it’s a candidate for stocks to sell.</p><p><b>Stocks to Avoid: Bit Brother (BTB)</b></p><p>As you might imagine from its corporate name, <b>Bit Brother</b>(NASDAQ: <b>BTB</b>) is a digital asset management group. Per its website, Bit Brother talks about fuel transformation with financial technology (fintech) and this and that. However, with various cryptos and blockchain projects imploding over the past year, BTB suffers from a credibility crisis.</p><p>I know it’s not Bit Brother’s fault what happens in its underlying sector. Unfortunately, as an investor, you can’t ignore the threat of public reputational loss. Therefore, if you don’t already have it in your portfolio, BTB represents one of the stocks to avoid. Yes, it’s down 89% in the new year alone. It could still fall more, given its 13% loss in the trailing week. If you need more confirmation, Gurufocus.com warns Bit Brother may be a possible value trap. In fairness, the company features a strong balance sheet. However, its three-year revenue growth rate sits at 64.9% below breakeven. As well, its operating and net margins rate horribly into negative territory. It’s just one of the stocks to sell.</p><p><b>Stocks to Avoid: Canoo (GOEV)</b></p><p>Similar to many other electric vehicle upstarts, <b>Canoo</b>(NASDAQ: <b>GOEV</b>) features a loyal fanbase. If I may be a little bit politically incorrect, if spouses were committed to each other like Canoo shareholders are committed to struggling enterprises, our country would probably be much happier. As it stands, it’s an upside-down world. GOEV gets sustained love, committed partnerships do not.</p><p>While some public securities received a speculative boost in the new year, GOEV did not. In fact, as of this writing, GOEV plunged nearly 44%. And in the past 365 days, it gave up a staggering 86% of equity value. I suppose that speculative fervor could lift GOEV out of the blue. However, no one knows when such an event would materialize. Thus, it’s one of the stocks to avoid. For further confirmation, Canoo effectively represents a pre-revenue enterprise that continues to bleed cash. As well, both its return on equity (ROE) and return on asset (ROA) sit deep in negative territory. Plus, it’s a literal penny stock, making it an all-around troubled entity.</p><p><b>Satellogic (SATL)</b></p><p>Specializing in Earth-observation satellites, <b>Satellogic</b>(NASDAQ: <b>SATL</b>) seems a compelling enterprise. After all, Morgan Stanley analysts reminded us that the underlying space economy could generate revenue of $1 trillion or more in 2040. But as with any new endeavor, there will be winners and there will be losers. Sadly, I believe SATL symbolizes one of the stocks to avoid.</p><p>Let’s look at the chart for starters. Since the beginning of the new year, SATL gave up 21% of its equity value. Not enjoying the positive sentiment rippling throughout the equities sector early in 2023 imposes a bad look for Satellogic. Moreover, in the past 365 days, SATL cratered to the tune of almost 59%.</p><p>To be fair, from a financial perspective, Satellogic offers some positives, such as a strong cash-to-debt ratio. Then again, its Altman Z-Score sits 20.95 below parity, indicating substantial distress. Further, both its operating and net margins fell into the abyss. If that wasn’t enough, the market prices SATL at a trailing multiple of 37.56, which ranks as extremely overvalued. Therefore, it’s one of the stocks to sell.</p><p><b>Cazoo Group (CZOO)</b></p><p>An enterprise that many Americans may not be familiar with, <b>Cazoo Group</b>(NYSE: <b>CZOO</b>) is an online car retailer. Based in London, England, Cazoo’s customers suffer from a familiar headwind: blisteringly high inflation. Further, with the Bank of England raising interest rates, households struggle mightily across the Atlantic. So, that’s one reason CZOO dropped nearly 37% of equity value since the start of the year.</p><p>Another comes down to cost structures. Basically, it’s cheaper to buy a used car via private-party transactions. Further, the convenience of online car shopping invariably carries a premium. Unfortunately, consumers aren’t looking to pay anything more than they must. Fundamentally, this dynamic makes CZOO one of the stocks to avoid.</p><p>Making matters worse, Cazoo features a weak, distressed balance sheet. As well, its operating margin and net margin sit 58% and 66.43% below parity, respectively. That’s just not going to cut it. No wonder, then, why CZOO hemorrhaged 96% over the trailing year. Respectfully, it’s one of the stocks to sell.</p><p><b>Bird Global (BRDS)</b></p><p>Based in Miami, Florida, <b>Bird Global</b>(NYSE: <b>BRDS</b>) represents a micro-mobility company. Specifically, Bird specializes in distributing electric scooters designed for short-term rentals. It has the right idea in terms of implications for climate change and the electrification of movement. Sadly, though, the business doesn’t have any traction.</p><p>About the one positive I can say regarding its price chart is this: on a year-to-date basis, BRDS only slipped less than 1%. However, in the past 365 days, the security plunged by almost 95%. Since its first day trading in the public arena, BRDS fell nearly 98%. Also, it’s a literal penny stock, trading at 20 cents a pop at the time of writing. Unfortunately, a delisting will be in the cards unless Bird does something dramatic. Outside of a reverse split, I just don’t know what else substantively can be done. For one thing, Bird features a distressed balance sheet. And its profit (operating and net) margins sank deep into negative territory. You gotta call it like it is – it’s one of the stocks to avoid.</p><p><b>Advanced Health Intelligence (AHI)</b></p><p>On the surface, <b>Advanced Health Intelligence</b>(NASDAQ: <b>AHI</b>) initially seems like a compelling enterprise. Per its website, Advanced Health offers biometric-enabled, data-driven health solutions. Then it goes on to say something about acceleration and platforms and cohort risk modeling. Bluntly, when a company can’t explain what it does in simple terms right off the bat, I get annoyed.</p><p>Having said that, it appears quite a lot of investors are annoyed with AHI as well. True, since the Jan. opener, it gained almost 5% of its equity value. However, that won’t make up for the trailing-year loss exceeding 49%. And since making its public market debut, AHI plunged over 89%. Just from that, it’s one of the stocks to avoid.</p><p>Financially, AHI is a mess. For instance, its Altman Z-Score of 8.78 below parity reflects significant distress. In addition, it features a three-year EBITDA growth rate of 35% below breakeven. Not surprisingly, both its operating and net margins fell into basically incalculable magnitudes of negativity. It’s facing a delisting and therefore, it’s one of the stocks to sell.</p></body></html>","source":"investorplace","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>7 Stocks to Avoid Like the Plague as Market Heads Down from Here</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n7 Stocks to Avoid Like the Plague as Market Heads Down from Here\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-03-09 23:23 GMT+8 <a href=https://investorplace.com/2023/03/7-stocks-to-avoid-like-the-plague-as-market-heads-down-from-here/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>While it’s nice to think that every market idea we buy will become profitable, the harsh reality is that we’ll eventually come face-to-face with the concept of stocks to avoid.

Since the beginning of the new year, SATL gave up 21% of its equity value. Not enjoying the positive sentiment rippling throughout the equities sector early in 2023 imposes a bad look for Satellogic. Moreover, in the past 365 days, SATL cratered to the tune of almost 59%.To be fair, from a financial perspective, Satellogic offers some positives, such as a strong cash-to-debt ratio. Then again, its Altman Z-Score sits 20.95 below parity, indicating substantial distress. Further, both its operating and net margins fell into the abyss. If that wasn’t enough, the market prices SATL at a trailing multiple of 37.56, which ranks as extremely overvalued. Therefore, it’s one of the stocks to sell.Cazoo Group (CZOO)An enterprise that many Americans may not be familiar with, Cazoo Group(NYSE: CZOO) is an online car retailer. Based in London, England, Cazoo’s customers suffer from a familiar headwind: blisteringly high inflation. Further, with the Bank of England raising interest rates, households struggle mightily across the Atlantic. So, that’s one reason CZOO dropped nearly 37% of equity value since the start of the year.Another comes down to cost structures. Basically, it’s cheaper to buy a used car via private-party transactions. Further, the convenience of online car shopping invariably carries a premium. Unfortunately, consumers aren’t looking to pay anything more than they must. Fundamentally, this dynamic makes CZOO one of the stocks to avoid.Making matters worse, Cazoo features a weak, distressed balance sheet. As well, its operating margin and net margin sit 58% and 66.43% below parity, respectively. That’s just not going to cut it. No wonder, then, why CZOO hemorrhaged 96% over the trailing year. Respectfully, it’s one of the stocks to sell.Bird Global (BRDS)Based in Miami, Florida, Bird Global(NYSE: BRDS) represents a micro-mobility company. Specifically, Bird specializes in distributing electric scooters designed for short-term rentals. It has the right idea in terms of implications for climate change and the electrification of movement. Sadly, though, the business doesn’t have any traction.About the one positive I can say regarding its price chart is this: on a year-to-date basis, BRDS only slipped less than 1%. However, in the past 365 days, the security plunged by almost 95%. Since its first day trading in the public arena, BRDS fell nearly 98%. Also, it’s a literal penny stock, trading at 20 cents a pop at the time of writing. Unfortunately, a delisting will be in the cards unless Bird does something dramatic. Outside of a reverse split, I just don’t know what else substantively can be done. For one thing, Bird features a distressed balance sheet. And its profit (operating and net) margins sank deep into negative territory. You gotta call it like it is – it’s one of the stocks to avoid.Advanced Health Intelligence (AHI)On the surface, Advanced Health Intelligence(NASDAQ: AHI) initially seems like a compelling enterprise. Per its website, Advanced Health offers biometric-enabled, data-driven health solutions. Then it goes on to say something about acceleration and platforms and cohort risk modeling. Bluntly, when a company can’t explain what it does in simple terms right off the bat, I get annoyed.Having said that, it appears quite a lot of investors are annoyed with AHI as well. True, since the Jan. opener, it gained almost 5% of its equity value. However, that won’t make up for the trailing-year loss exceeding 49%. And since making its public market debut, AHI plunged over 89%. Just from that, it’s one of the stocks to avoid.Financially, AHI is a mess. For instance, its Altman Z-Score of 8.78 below parity reflects significant distress. In addition, it features a three-year EBITDA growth rate of 35% below breakeven. Not surprisingly, both its operating and net margins fell into basically incalculable magnitudes of negativity. It’s facing a delisting and therefore, it’s one of the stocks to sell.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":260,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9912690049,"gmtCreate":1664810082281,"gmtModify":1676537512105,"author":{"id":"3577362241115891","authorId":"3577362241115891","name":"xAsthenia","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7cc2f520767b22063231e2c139e173cf","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577362241115891","authorIdStr":"3577362241115891"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy more Tesla stock!

TSLA stock could remain under pressure as Q3 deliveries disappoint.Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), as expected, announced record deliveries of 343,830 vehicles in Q3. However, this fell short of Street’s estimates of about 364,000. Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives believes this shortfall will not sit well with Street. This may hurt TSLA stock, which is down about 25% year-to-date.Ives stated, “While the reasoning (in the PR) from Tesla makes sense on paper, the Street will not be convinced and lingering worries about demand issues will persist until we hear around year-end unit guidance onTesla’s conference call October 19th.”Notably, Tesla highlighted that the third quarter faced delivery challenges at reasonable costs. Ives views the Q3 delivery shortfall as “more of a logistical speed bump rather than the start of a softer delivery trajectory into 4Q/2023.”Despite the missed deliveries, Ives continues to be bullish on TSLA stock with a price target of $360 (35.7% upside potential).Is Tesla a Buy or Sell Right Now?Supply-chain and logistics issues and a higher input cost environment are taking a toll on TSLA and other EV (electric vehicle) manufacturers. TipRanks’ data reveals that Street is cautiously optimistic about TSLA stock. It sports a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on 18 Buy, six Hold, and five Sell recommendations.Further, TSLA’s average price target of $311.19 implies a 17.3% upside potential.It’s worth mentioning that TSLA has negative signals from hedge funds and insiders, with both selling the stock last quarter. Tesla stock commands a Neutral Smart Score of 5 out 10 on TipRanks.Bottom LineThe higher commodity costs and supply constraints could pose production and margin headwinds for TSLA and other automakers in the short term. However, secular tailwinds like policy support, demand, and innovation provide a solid foundation for long-term growth.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":183,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9990127506,"gmtCreate":1660313013509,"gmtModify":1676533449298,"author":{"id":"3577362241115891","authorId":"3577362241115891","name":"xAsthenia","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7cc2f520767b22063231e2c139e173cf","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577362241115891","authorIdStr":"3577362241115891"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I'm still buying no matter what.

(NASDAQ:TSLA) on 16 November, 2021, titled Tesla's Ticking Time Bomb, I strongly advised selling Tesla. The price then was $1,054.73, so it is down 18%, somewhat more than the S&P500's 12% decline.

It is down 27% YTD en route to that price.</p><p>This shall probably be my last article on Tesla, as I prefer to write on companies that will gain from world developments, and those do not benefit Tesla in the way they did in the past. That should have a significant negative effect on Tesla's future performance in both the car and stock markets, and I hope this article will be of value to those holding or considering buying into Tesla now. I would emphasize here that I am not a short seller or a trader. Tesla may well suit those that are, but it does not suit me. I am an investor and I write with only that in mind.</p><p>I will first touch on Tesla the car (and solar panel) maker and expand on the challenges it faces later.</p><p><b>Tesla The Car Maker</b></p><p>Tesla was founded by a visionary named Elon Musk. He saw an opportunity in electric cars, EVs, when other carmakers - and especially the U.S. and German manufacturers - were mostly focused on traditional internal combustion engines, ICEs.</p><p>He gained an almost cult-like following among retail investors and used the resultant share price explosion to raise over $13 billion in four stock offerings. Car-making is a capital-intensive industry, and such low capital costs gave it an advantage to get off the ground and into the big league.</p><p>Tesla also had <i>good profit margins</i>. Being a newcomer to car manufacturing, Tesla did not have legacy car maker problems such as restrictive unions and large company bureaucracies to add cost, plus EVs require many fewer components than ICEs. That makes Tesla's profit margins better - gross margins were 23% in fiscal 2020, compared with Ford's (F) 10%. <i>That gap is closing.</i> Tesla's superior margins over other carmakers are used by many believers to justify its high valuation, but - while they are good compared with many - they are not sufficiently better than the world's largest carmaker Toyota (TM,OTCPK:TOYOF) to do make the difference so extreme.</p><p><b>Toyota's P/E is 10.9. Tesla's P/E is 103.77 - nearly 10 times Toyota's!</b></p><p><b>Toyota's market cap $260bn. Tesla's $967bn - nearly 4 times Toyota's!</b></p><p>The latest gross margin ("GM") figures show this:</p><p>Tesla's GM: 28%. Net: 10.5%. Ops: 14.6%</p><p>Toyota's GM: 18%. Net: 8.5%. Ops: 8%</p><p>That GM gap will close when Toyota (and other ICE makers) build more EVs because of the hugely lower amount of materials needed to build EV motors than ICEs, so either TM's P/E should shoot up or TSLA's crash down.</p><p>The latest results from Tesla's website were good, but the Gross Margin is declining.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3d5fce89f9eada41780cfacd8d123c95\" tg-width=\"602\" tg-height=\"323\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bed17678a34727ef88451b33fd78453a\" tg-width=\"599\" tg-height=\"473\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2e9b6e7adf9f631f7442c6692bd0a231\" tg-width=\"603\" tg-height=\"554\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Source: Tesla.</p><p>If more financial information is required, it can be found here onTesla's website.</p><p><b>Cash and cash equivalents</b> are good, but billions will be needed to build the additional giant factories required, as might the many existing problems that remain unresolved with new ones still emerging.</p><p>I will now move on to those...</p><p>Problems - Internal <b>Self-Inflicted</b></p><p><b>There are many self-inflicted problems,</b> and many have yet to be resolved. The latest are claims by California's DMV that Tesla overstated its autopilot capabilities. ThisReutersarticle tells more about that. California is Tesla's largest U.S. market. The company sold 121,000 vehicles there in 2021, out of an estimated 352,000 sold nationwide. The DMV is seeking remedies that could include <b>suspending Tesla's license to sell vehicles in California</b> and requiring the company to make restitution to drivers.</p><p>Wikipedia has this list of <b>lawsuits</b> against Tesla.I know of no other reputable company that has stirred up so much controversy. The "autopilot" - the word used by Elon Musk to describe Tesla's driver assistance technology - fatality case could prove to be fatal or near-fatal for the whole company. Autoblog tells us more on that.</p><p>Currently, in a car accident in the U.S., the driver of one car sues the driver of the other car. It is only very seldom the car manufacturer is sued. For self-driving cars, however, things are likely to be different. There aren't other drivers to sue. There is just the car - and the company that made it. It won't take long for plaintiffs' lawyers to start filing big lawsuits, even class actions, against the car and technology companies that made the cars and designed the self-driving technology. And, as we have seen in other such situations, <b>there could soon be billion-dollar judgments against Tesla.</b></p><p><b>Recall and Warranty costs.</b> In 2021, Tesla recalled 475,000 vehicles for safety issues in the U.S. alone. Barron's recently reported that, since January, 2022, Tesla has issued four recalls for almost 1.5 million vehicles worldwide, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That's roughly four times the 360,000 cars that Tesla delivered in the U.S. in 2021, and a half-million more, at least, than the 936,000 delivered worldwide. Global deliveries rose about 87%, compared with 2020. Those problems have to be fixed free of charge, plus many other problems require fixing under warranty.</p><p>They all require the vehicle to be returned to a dealer to be fixed. They <b>are a nuisance for the owners and costly for Tesla shareholders.</b></p><p><b>Musk's Antics.</b> I borrowed the word antic from Al Jazeera's report headed "Musk's antics turn Tesla owners, new buyers against it."</p><p>Another antic was buying into <b>solar panels</b>. This is a U.S.-only market for Tesla. He got into solar by buying a troubled company founded by his cousins and on whose board he sat. That was paid for with Tesla shareholders' money and led to a failed lawsuit by them, according to this Business Insider report. Its policy has been to offer <b>lowest price guarantees, which is suicidal</b> in such a commodity product market sector and - to reduce costs in the U.S. further - President Biden has waived tariffs on solar panels imported from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. A CNET report also claims that "Tesla is skimping on customer service."This activity will be a constant drain on Tesla profits until closed!</p><p><b>Share sales.</b> <b>Musk's latest antic is to sell more Tesla shares</b> purportedly to prepare any payment he may have to pay for his Twitter bid. One has to question why did he sell now if he has confidence the stock price will be higher when the outcome of that case against him is known?! This SA News report headed "Elon Musk backtracks on stock pledge" tells more, including "he now owns just under 15% of Tesla." One day he may be a total high-price dropout!</p><p><b>Musk's Aims.</b> As a visionary, he has achieved near miracles to get Tesla where it is today. However, it will need another miracle in the near future if 20 million cars are to be made, and even aiming for them could put Tesla into reverse gear financially. At Tesla's recent Cyber Round Up in Austin, Texas, Musk said the company would "end up building at least 10 or 12 Gigafactories." Those <b>Gigafactories cost Gigabucks to build.</b> They also require years to build, and he needs them soon if he is to make <b>20 million cars per year by2030.</b> That means completion before the end of 2029 - just over 7 years away. None have been started, nor even have locations been announced!</p><p>In the unlikely event Tesla achieved that number, it would require another miracle to sell that many cars, because gaining 16.4% of the entire world car market - including ICEs - is probably impossible for any car maker.GlobeNewswiremade the 2030 estimate of total car market size in 2030 of 122.83 million units that I used to calculate that market share percentage. It makes worthwhile reading.</p><p>It also looks rather stupid ifS&P Global's estimate of 26.8 million EV sales by 2030 proves correct. That would mean <b>Tesla has to achieve 75% EV market share!</b></p><p>Toyota is the world's largest carmaker and manufactures around 10 million cars per year. It has around 10% of the world market. It makes ICEs, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, battery EVs, and hydrogen cars. Tesla only makes battery EVs.</p><p>It therefore takes a bit of a stretch of the imagination to see Tesla selling 20 million cars per year by 2030... if it can make them!</p><p><b>Problems - External</b></p><p><b>Lithium supplies.</b> The Financial Times recently published this article headed "Electric-car makers warned lithium supply crunch is set to last until 2030."</p><p><b>Political and economic.</b> The new <b>Inflation Reduction Act</b> could have a perverse and unintended negative result for Tesla. The $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit will be renewed in January of 2023 and last until the end of 2032. A striking new requirement is that qualifying cars must be assembled in North America and that materials and critical minerals in the battery must come from the U.S. or a country with a free trade agreement with the U.S. That means some electric vehicles sold in the U.S. will be ineligible as soon as the bill takes effect. Chinese battery maker Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited ("CATL"), who make some batteries for Tesla, has dropped plans to make them in the U.S.</p><p><b>Political backlashes.</b> Elon Musk has probably made some <b>enemies</b> at the political top<b>in California</b>due to his personal move, and Tesla's HQ, from there to Texas. They may encourage a harsh judgement in DMV's autopilot case against Tesla that I mentioned above.</p><p>Tesla may yet face other challenges due to his behavior <b>in Germany.</b> That country is full of bureaucracies, some of which wanted to prevent the car and battery factory near Berlin from being built in the first place. Also, local residents and environmentalists - including Green party politicians - did not want their environmentally and visually valuable forest torn down, as this report shows. Elon Musk apparently barged through those bureaucratic regulations and local and environmental objections and started building without proper approvals. The battery factory has still not been started. Their unanswered environmental problems remain. This CNBC article tells more.</p><p><b>The UK is in or near recession,</b> as are several EU continues.

That would give Tesla 75% of the entire world EV market!To achieve that requires several more huge factories to be built that are not yet past the initial planning stages nor even a decision made where they will be located!They will require vast sums of money as might many existing problems that remain unresolved with new ones still emerging.My share price target is around $100 by year-end. Some are more optimistic, with Citi giving Tesla a sell-rated forecast of $375 → $424. JP Morgan suggests $385. The price, as I write, is $864.Some have suggested a price of $1580, which should frighten any cautious investor away.Those wing doors will not get that Tesla off the ground, and new action against Elon Musk's autopilot claims might even stop them being driven manually by man - including Musk - in some places. An earlier action against Musk by the SEC resulted in him giving up his driving position as both Chairman and CEO.In my first article on Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) on 16 November, 2021, titled Tesla's Ticking Time Bomb, I strongly advised selling Tesla. The price then was $1,054.73, so it is down 18%, somewhat more than the S&P500's 12% decline. On the first of that same month, the price was $1,209.TSLA hit a low of $626 on 24 May, 2022, suggesting many are having doubts, with the recent bounce perhaps being caused by believers in that sky-high $1580 forecast. To those I would recommend they check the past and see that the price had never gone above $100 until the beginning of last year, the price level I believe it will return to. It is down 27% YTD en route to that price.This shall probably be my last article on Tesla, as I prefer to write on companies that will gain from world developments, and those do not benefit Tesla in the way they did in the past. That should have a significant negative effect on Tesla's future performance in both the car and stock markets, and I hope this article will be of value to those holding or considering buying into Tesla now. I would emphasize here that I am not a short seller or a trader. Tesla may well suit those that are, but it does not suit me. I am an investor and I write with only that in mind.I will first touch on Tesla the car (and solar panel) maker and expand on the challenges it faces later.Tesla The Car MakerTesla was founded by a visionary named Elon Musk. He saw an opportunity in electric cars, EVs, when other carmakers - and especially the U.S. and German manufacturers - were mostly focused on traditional internal combustion engines, ICEs.He gained an almost cult-like following among retail investors and used the resultant share price explosion to raise over $13 billion in four stock offerings. Car-making is a capital-intensive industry, and such low capital costs gave it an advantage to get off the ground and into the big league.Tesla also had good profit margins. Being a newcomer to car manufacturing, Tesla did not have legacy car maker problems such as restrictive unions and large company bureaucracies to add cost, plus EVs require many fewer components than ICEs. That makes Tesla's profit margins better - gross margins were 23% in fiscal 2020, compared with Ford's (F) 10%. That gap is closing. Tesla's superior margins over other carmakers are used by many believers to justify its high valuation, but - while they are good compared with many - they are not sufficiently better than the world's largest carmaker Toyota (TM,OTCPK:TOYOF) to do make the difference so extreme.Toyota's P/E is 10.9. Tesla's P/E is 103.77 - nearly 10 times Toyota's!Toyota's market cap $260bn. Tesla's $967bn - nearly 4 times Toyota's!The latest gross margin (\"GM\") figures show this:Tesla's GM: 28%. Net: 10.5%. Ops: 14.6%Toyota's GM: 18%. Net: 8.5%. Ops: 8%That GM gap will close when Toyota (and other ICE makers) build more EVs because of the hugely lower amount of materials needed to build EV motors than ICEs, so either TM's P/E should shoot up or TSLA's crash down.The latest results from Tesla's website were good, but the Gross Margin is declining.Source: Tesla.If more financial information is required, it can be found here onTesla's website.Cash and cash equivalents are good, but billions will be needed to build the additional giant factories required, as might the many existing problems that remain unresolved with new ones still emerging.I will now move on to those...Problems - Internal Self-InflictedThere are many self-inflicted problems, and many have yet to be resolved. The latest are claims by California's DMV that Tesla overstated its autopilot capabilities. ThisReutersarticle tells more about that. California is Tesla's largest U.S. market. The company sold 121,000 vehicles there in 2021, out of an estimated 352,000 sold nationwide. The DMV is seeking remedies that could include suspending Tesla's license to sell vehicles in California and requiring the company to make restitution to drivers.Wikipedia has this list of lawsuits against Tesla.I know of no other reputable company that has stirred up so much controversy. The \"autopilot\" - the word used by Elon Musk to describe Tesla's driver assistance technology - fatality case could prove to be fatal or near-fatal for the whole company. Autoblog tells us more on that.Currently, in a car accident in the U.S., the driver of one car sues the driver of the other car. It is only very seldom the car manufacturer is sued. For self-driving cars, however, things are likely to be different. There aren't other drivers to sue. There is just the car - and the company that made it. It won't take long for plaintiffs' lawyers to start filing big lawsuits, even class actions, against the car and technology companies that made the cars and designed the self-driving technology. And, as we have seen in other such situations, there could soon be billion-dollar judgments against Tesla.Recall and Warranty costs. In 2021, Tesla recalled 475,000 vehicles for safety issues in the U.S. alone. Barron's recently reported that, since January, 2022, Tesla has issued four recalls for almost 1.5 million vehicles worldwide, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That's roughly four times the 360,000 cars that Tesla delivered in the U.S. in 2021, and a half-million more, at least, than the 936,000 delivered worldwide. Global deliveries rose about 87%, compared with 2020. Those problems have to be fixed free of charge, plus many other problems require fixing under warranty.They all require the vehicle to be returned to a dealer to be fixed. They are a nuisance for the owners and costly for Tesla shareholders.Musk's Antics. I borrowed the word antic from Al Jazeera's report headed \"Musk's antics turn Tesla owners, new buyers against it.\"Another antic was buying into solar panels. This is a U.S.-only market for Tesla. He got into solar by buying a troubled company founded by his cousins and on whose board he sat. That was paid for with Tesla shareholders' money and led to a failed lawsuit by them, according to this Business Insider report. Its policy has been to offer lowest price guarantees, which is suicidal in such a commodity product market sector and - to reduce costs in the U.S. further - President Biden has waived tariffs on solar panels imported from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. A CNET report also claims that \"Tesla is skimping on customer service.\"This activity will be a constant drain on Tesla profits until closed!Share sales. Musk's latest antic is to sell more Tesla shares purportedly to prepare any payment he may have to pay for his Twitter bid. One has to question why did he sell now if he has confidence the stock price will be higher when the outcome of that case against him is known?! This SA News report headed \"Elon Musk backtracks on stock pledge\" tells more, including \"he now owns just under 15% of Tesla.\" One day he may be a total high-price dropout!Musk's Aims. As a visionary, he has achieved near miracles to get Tesla where it is today. However, it will need another miracle in the near future if 20 million cars are to be made, and even aiming for them could put Tesla into reverse gear financially. At Tesla's recent Cyber Round Up in Austin, Texas, Musk said the company would \"end up building at least 10 or 12 Gigafactories.\" Those Gigafactories cost Gigabucks to build. They also require years to build, and he needs them soon if he is to make 20 million cars per year by2030. That means completion before the end of 2029 - just over 7 years away. None have been started, nor even have locations been announced!In the unlikely event Tesla achieved that number, it would require another miracle to sell that many cars, because gaining 16.4% of the entire world car market - including ICEs - is probably impossible for any car maker.GlobeNewswiremade the 2030 estimate of total car market size in 2030 of 122.83 million units that I used to calculate that market share percentage. It makes worthwhile reading.It also looks rather stupid ifS&P Global's estimate of 26.8 million EV sales by 2030 proves correct. That would mean Tesla has to achieve 75% EV market share!Toyota is the world's largest carmaker and manufactures around 10 million cars per year. It has around 10% of the world market. It makes ICEs, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, battery EVs, and hydrogen cars. Tesla only makes battery EVs.It therefore takes a bit of a stretch of the imagination to see Tesla selling 20 million cars per year by 2030... if it can make them!Problems - ExternalLithium supplies. The Financial Times recently published this article headed \"Electric-car makers warned lithium supply crunch is set to last until 2030.\"Political and economic. The new Inflation Reduction Act could have a perverse and unintended negative result for Tesla. The $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit will be renewed in January of 2023 and last until the end of 2032. A striking new requirement is that qualifying cars must be assembled in North America and that materials and critical minerals in the battery must come from the U.S. or a country with a free trade agreement with the U.S. That means some electric vehicles sold in the U.S. will be ineligible as soon as the bill takes effect. Chinese battery maker Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (\"CATL\"), who make some batteries for Tesla, has dropped plans to make them in the U.S.Political backlashes. Elon Musk has probably made some enemies at the political topin Californiadue to his personal move, and Tesla's HQ, from there to Texas. They may encourage a harsh judgement in DMV's autopilot case against Tesla that I mentioned above.Tesla may yet face other challenges due to his behavior in Germany. That country is full of bureaucracies, some of which wanted to prevent the car and battery factory near Berlin from being built in the first place. Also, local residents and environmentalists - including Green party politicians - did not want their environmentally and visually valuable forest torn down, as this report shows. Elon Musk apparently barged through those bureaucratic regulations and local and environmental objections and started building without proper approvals. The battery factory has still not been started. Their unanswered environmental problems remain. This CNBC article tells more.The UK is in or near recession, as are several EU continues. They include important German, UK, French, and Italian car makers, all of which have poured billions into making EVs.That brings me to another major problem for Tesla...Competition-Loss of a previously exclusive big Tesla buyer. EV subscription company Autonomy has placed an order for 23,000 EVs with 17 global automakers to expand and diversify its subscription fleet beyond just Tesla vehicles. Autonomy currently has 1,000 cars, all of which are Tesla models.

Tesla's autopilot faces costly attacks and is anyway losing the race to others, as this chart showsinverse.comWaymo leads with Baidu not far behind...-Chinese tech giant, Baidu(BIDU) has securedthe first permits in China to offer commercial fully driverless robotaxi services to the public on open roads.Wei Dong, vice president and chief safety operation officer of Baidu's Intelligent Driving Group, said in a statement:\"We believe these permits are a key milestone on the path to the inflection point when the industry can finally roll out fully autonomous driving services at scale.\"Baidu will sell its technology to other car makers helping those leapfrog over Tesla.It will also make cars having unveiled the Apollo RT6 - photo above - an EV ready for production with aninitial starting price of $37,000.

Tesla, on the other hand, delivered a total of 564,743 vehicles in H1.- Century-old car makers are determined to be around for another century! Every major maker is spending billions on EVs.

Its success propelled his LDP to six straight election wins, making Abe the country’s longest-serving prime minister, with more than 2,800 consecutive days in office.</p><p>The legacy of that policy, including a weaker yen and the Bank of Japan’s ultra-easy support for the economy, remained largely intact even after he stepped down in 2020 -- and even after other central banks started raising borrowing costs in 2022 to stem rampant inflation.</p><h2>Political Dynasty</h2><p>Abe wasbornSept. 21, 1954 in Tokyo. His father, Shintaro Abe, was a foreign minister and his maternal grandfather was the prime minister Nobusuke Kishi, whose views Abe has cited as a strong influence.</p><p>He was the second of three boys born to Shintaro and Yoko Abe. The eldest, Hironobu Abe, went into business. His younger brother, Nobuo, was adopted by a relative and in 2020 became defense minister, Nobuo Kishi.</p><p>Shinzo Abe graduated from the Department of Political Science, the Faculty of Law, atSeikei University, in 1977, according to agovernment website. Ten years later he married Akie Matsuzaki, who was working at the advertising firmDentsu Inc.They had no children.</p><p>He began his political career in 1993, when he was elected to take over his father’s constituency in the southwestern prefecture of Yamaguchi. The clean-cut, young politician was soon singled out as a future leader and appointed to a position in the prime minister’s office in 2000.</p><p>He went on to accompany then-Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi on a surprise trip to North Korea in 2002 and became his chief cabinet secretary in 2005. The following year, he took over the leadership of the LDP at 52 -- becoming the country’s youngest postwar prime minister.</p><p>His triumph was short-lived: Abe stepped down a year later, blaming a chronic medical condition, ulcerative colitis.

Its success propelled his LDP to six straight election wins, making Abe the country’s longest-serving prime minister, with more than 2,800 consecutive days in office.The legacy of that policy, including a weaker yen and the Bank of Japan’s ultra-easy support for the economy, remained largely intact even after he stepped down in 2020 -- and even after other central banks started raising borrowing costs in 2022 to stem rampant inflation.Political DynastyAbe wasbornSept. 21, 1954 in Tokyo. His father, Shintaro Abe, was a foreign minister and his maternal grandfather was the prime minister Nobusuke Kishi, whose views Abe has cited as a strong influence.He was the second of three boys born to Shintaro and Yoko Abe. The eldest, Hironobu Abe, went into business. His younger brother, Nobuo, was adopted by a relative and in 2020 became defense minister, Nobuo Kishi.Shinzo Abe graduated from the Department of Political Science, the Faculty of Law, atSeikei University, in 1977, according to agovernment website. Ten years later he married Akie Matsuzaki, who was working at the advertising firmDentsu Inc.They had no children.He began his political career in 1993, when he was elected to take over his father’s constituency in the southwestern prefecture of Yamaguchi. The clean-cut, young politician was soon singled out as a future leader and appointed to a position in the prime minister’s office in 2000.He went on to accompany then-Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi on a surprise trip to North Korea in 2002 and became his chief cabinet secretary in 2005. The following year, he took over the leadership of the LDP at 52 -- becoming the country’s youngest postwar prime minister.His triumph was short-lived: Abe stepped down a year later, blaming a chronic medical condition, ulcerative colitis. His exit led to a revolving door of two further yearlong premierships, followed by the LDP’s historic loss of power in 2009. The three years it spent in opposition were viewed as a humiliation for a party that had been in government almost continuously since 1955.Covid HitEverything changed again with the arrival of the coronavirus pandemic. The disease hit an economy already strained from trade disputes and asales tax hikethat Abe finally pushed through in 2019 after two delays.While Japan’s total Covid-19 death toll remains a fraction of that of other Group of Seven nations, the outbreak forced the postponement of theTokyo 2020 Olympics. Abe had promoted the event by dressing up as video-game character Super Mario for a cameo at the closing ceremonies in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.The infection effectively shut down the tourist industry his government had nurtured, and devastated consumption and exports.

That would mean Tesla has to achieve 75% EV market share!Toyota is the world's largest carmaker and manufactures around 10 million cars per year. It has around 10% of the world market. It makes ICEs, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, battery EVs, and hydrogen cars. Tesla only makes battery EVs.It therefore takes a bit of a stretch of the imagination to see Tesla selling 20 million cars per year by 2030... if it can make them!Problems - ExternalLithium supplies. The Financial Times recently published this article headed \"Electric-car makers warned lithium supply crunch is set to last until 2030.\"Political and economic. The new Inflation Reduction Act could have a perverse and unintended negative result for Tesla. The $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit will be renewed in January of 2023 and last until the end of 2032. A striking new requirement is that qualifying cars must be assembled in North America and that materials and critical minerals in the battery must come from the U.S. or a country with a free trade agreement with the U.S. That means some electric vehicles sold in the U.S. will be ineligible as soon as the bill takes effect. Chinese battery maker Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (\"CATL\"), who make some batteries for Tesla, has dropped plans to make them in the U.S.Political backlashes. Elon Musk has probably made some enemies at the political topin Californiadue to his personal move, and Tesla's HQ, from there to Texas. They may encourage a harsh judgement in DMV's autopilot case against Tesla that I mentioned above.Tesla may yet face other challenges due to his behavior in Germany. That country is full of bureaucracies, some of which wanted to prevent the car and battery factory near Berlin from being built in the first place. Also, local residents and environmentalists - including Green party politicians - did not want their environmentally and visually valuable forest torn down, as this report shows. Elon Musk apparently barged through those bureaucratic regulations and local and environmental objections and started building without proper approvals. The battery factory has still not been started. Their unanswered environmental problems remain. This CNBC article tells more.The UK is in or near recession, as are several EU continues. They include important German, UK, French, and Italian car makers, all of which have poured billions into making EVs.That brings me to another major problem for Tesla...Competition-Loss of a previously exclusive big Tesla buyer. EV subscription company Autonomy has placed an order for 23,000 EVs with 17 global automakers to expand and diversify its subscription fleet beyond just Tesla vehicles. Autonomy currently has 1,000 cars, all of which are Tesla models. The fleet order valued at $1.2B includes EVs from BMW (OTCPK:BMWYY), Canoo (GOEV), Fisker (FSR), Ford (F), General Motors (GM), Hyundai (OTCPK:HYMTF), Lucid Group (LCID), Mercedes-Benz (OTCPK:DDAIF), Polestar (PSNY), Rivian (RIVN), Stellantis (STLA), Subaru (OTCPK:FUJHY), Tesla (TSLA), Toyota Motor, VinFast, Volvo Car (OTCPK:VLVOF), and Volkswagen (OTCPK:VLKAF).-Others lead the autopilot race. Tesla's autopilot faces costly attacks and is anyway losing the race to others, as this chart showsinverse.comWaymo leads with Baidu not far behind...-Chinese tech giant, Baidu(BIDU) has securedthe first permits in China to offer commercial fully driverless robotaxi services to the public on open roads.Wei Dong, vice president and chief safety operation officer of Baidu's Intelligent Driving Group, said in a statement:\"We believe these permits are a key milestone on the path to the inflection point when the industry can finally roll out fully autonomous driving services at scale.\"Baidu will sell its technology to other car makers helping those leapfrog over Tesla.It will also make cars having unveiled the Apollo RT6 - photo above - an EV ready for production with aninitial starting price of $37,000. Jidu Auto, which is a joint venture between Baidu and Geely Automobile Holdings (OTCPK:GELYY) is looking at raising between $300M and $400M as it seeks to launch its first commercial vehicle in 2023.- Apple (AAPL) may have this fully autonomous EVon the road by 2025. Rumors suggest it will be made by Hyundai. If so, maybe their worldwide dealer network will sell and service it.Apple reportedly poacheda top executive from Italian luxury carmaker Lamborghini for its car project.- China's BYD (OTCPK:BYDDF,OTCPK:BYDDY) sold 641,350 EVs in the first six months of 2022, representing a 315% increase from the same period last year. Tesla, on the other hand, delivered a total of 564,743 vehicles in H1.- Century-old car makers are determined to be around for another century! Every major maker is spending billions on EVs. A JV between Stellantis (STLA) and Samsung (OTCPK:SSNLF) is building a $2.5 billion battery factory in Indiana. General Motors is spending $7bn to convert an existing factory to make EVs. That shows another advantage traditional car makers have overTesla.It costs less to convert an existing plant to make EVs than to build a new one from scratch, plus they have an established workforce and customer base.A report on SA tells us that GM's all-electric Hummer draws rave review from Barron's.Ford is spending $11 billion on plants in Tennessee and Kentucky, and plans to build 600,000 EVs by the end of next year.European companies are likewise spending huge sums at home and in the U.S. to build EVs and battery factories.Putting all those above points into one big picture and I conclude that...Tesla Is Beyond Its Sell-By DateI mentioned Elon Musk's sales above. He is not the only insider to have been selling; Robyn Denholm - Chairman of the Board - was a huge seller in May and June this year. From the Financial Times, the last time I could find news of insiders buying - including a tiny buy by Elon Musk - was in February 2020:Source: Financial TimesIf Insiders are big sellers - and none buy - why should outsiders do otherwise?!","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":295,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9912690049,"gmtCreate":1664810082281,"gmtModify":1676537512105,"author":{"id":"3577362241115891","authorId":"3577362241115891","name":"xAsthenia","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7cc2f520767b22063231e2c139e173cf","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577362241115891","authorIdStr":"3577362241115891"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy more Tesla stock!
