  1. Larry Householder is still drawing a salary as a State Rep.
  2. Yes, but it's super slow. A "washer/dryer" outlet (240 volt) would allow for faster charging.
  3. https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-basketball/2021/02/121015/ohio-state-knocks-off-hawkeyes-89-85-in-top-10-iowa-city-showdown Massive top 10 win over Iowa. OSU is probably looking at a top 5 ranking nationally now and may flirt with a 1 seed in the NCAA tournament if they keep it up.
  4. Many BEVs are starting out at 250+ mile range now (thinking of the Niro and Kona EVs, which, sadly, aren't available in every U.S. state). The Bolt has a 259-mile range - you can actually buy one for around $21k if you go through Costco and follow a couple steps. Volkswagen is the only serious player on range in terms of challenging Tesla, if their stated plans come to fruition in the next 5 years. Teslas notoriously underperform their EPA stated range in any "real world" testing (by Edmunds, Car & Driver, etc.) whereas the Porsche Taycan (a VW brand) overperforms. VW is expecting to deliver 100k of its ID.4s this year, which is a small crossover in the same space as the Model Y. VW is beating Tesla on price, and by quite a bit if you factor in tax credits. Its estimated range is 250 miles, but the trend has been for VW to understate its ranges to avoid warranty issues. An ID.4 may very well have a "real world" range close to a Model Y. As the charging infrastructure gets built out (VW it looks like is partnering with Electrify America to compete with Tesla's Supercharger Network), I think the bigger issue becomes how to charge it at home. Taking trips and charging it on the road is becoming much easier, not just for people who drive a Tesla. But depending on which study you believe, some 30-40% of Americans don't have a garage at their home/apartment. A lot of the benefit of an EV is being able to charge it overnight. That's going to be a lot of work to convert apartment/condo complexes into making space for EV chargers.

    On the Dem side I think it'll be Ryan, Acton, and Nan Whaley. On the R side, I think Steve Stivers has the most money on hand from his '20 campaign, so .... I guess he'd be the front runner there?
  7. Ah, well. Gamestop is down an incredible 89% in one week from its intraday high on the 28th.

    Jeff Bezos will step down as Amazon CEO later this year. https://techcrunch.com/2021/02/02/jeff-bezos-will-no-longer-be-ceo-of-amazon-as-of-later-this-year/
  9. Let's check in on those retail investors / WSB "hot picks" to stick it to the hedge funds: Ooof. Back to TSLA for the Robinhooders, I suppose.

    Yost is out.

  12. You missed by $215 as GME closed at $328.

  14. Hope you didn't buy any puts!
  15. *shameless self-promotion alert* if you want a code to get free stocks on Robinhood or WeBull, PM me (I'll get a free stock in return) if you have a code for another broker/platform...also PM me lol
  16. Bunch of options expire tomorrow on GME.
  17. Forget GME, AMC, NOK, BB...buy up Blockbuster lol
  18. What is a "net benefit," though? This is basically just legalized gambling...and gambling is legal in many places. So should we place restrictions on (or outlaw entirely) gambling? Casinos? Sports? Horse races? Etc. There is risk in all of them. In theory, these people read through the disclosures before placing their trades.
  19. What's the issue? They flipped the strategy against the hedge funds who had accumulated a 100+% short position. Don't take the short position if you're not ready for the risk.
  20. Guess the "free market" was only free until the billionaires and hedge funds started to lose money.
  21. Nokia just traded 20x its average volume today.
  22. This is super subjective. Sounds like you want to control people's behavior and what they do with their money? Weird.
  23. Similar occurrence with AMC right now.
