$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$So many detractors for Tesla here saying 'sell, sell, sell' and putting the negative 'vibe' out without any FACTS.First, Tesla is NOT just a CAR company! If that were the case, then I would agree that the price should be under $200 for sure. But there's so many more ways that it makes LOTS of money. Even if you took all the profits from car sales out, they would STILL be a pretty good investment.Yet there are so many 'day traders' and speculators nowadays that it's really all about the ups and downs more than the actual value and focus of a company.Those same speculators are just worried that they are going to lose everything because they put so much into Tesla going DOWN and now the calls are coming

Economic Impact of Trump's Tariff Policy President-elect Donald Trump threatened on Monday to impose a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada on his first day in office, Jan. 20, unless the two countries take stringent measures against drugs and cross-border immigration. Additionally, he announced plans for an “extra 10% tariff” on Chinese imports. During his campaign, Trump vowed to levy a 20% tariff on all U.S. imports and a 60% tariff on Chinese goods. Key figures in the implementation of the tariff policy include Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. Last week, Trump stated that Lutnick would “lead our tariff and trade agenda and be directly responsible for the operations of the U.S. Trade Representative’s office.” Trump this week appoint
The tariffs on China aren't cutting demand for Chinese goods
Trump's 25% tariffs on Mexico and just 10% on China make sense for him.Already $330B worth of Chinese imports to the US are slapped with a 7.5% to 25% tariff since Trump's first term. These weren't lifted by Biden.Adding 25% on top of what exists already isn't just overkill - it's counterproductive. US imports from China are running 2% higher in the first 9 months of 2024.In other words, tariffs on China aren't cutting demand for Chinese goods in any meaningful way.Meanwhile, Mexican exports to the US have surged, replacing China as the US top trade partner. And it's not because Chinese goods are using Mexico to bypass tariffs.US and other Western carmakers are boosting their production in Mexico to serve a US market that has no Chinese competition whatsoever. Vehicles are the top exports
