So if we're taking this literally and not in a "GV residents don't want a drag show or two in their neighborhood" type of way, it seems Wunderbar went wrong when they had "performers dance, sing, or engage in plays for patrons." This triggered the antiquated "cabaret" ordinance or whatever. The property manager even notes they may request a zoning variance - which is something they should have just done from the start. On the ordinance violation, it seems like Wunderbar just didn't do basic research on what they needed to operate it legally and GV got super strict about it. As for the neighbors who don't like the noise or whatnot in the area...don't live in one of the densest urban areas of the city that is specifically designed to have shops, restaruants, and other businesses interspersed in the community. I haven't been, but from reading the article it sounds like Wunderbar typically shuts down their shows by 11 pm Thursdays-Saturdays - which I believe would be in compliance with any noise ordinances. *Note: I'm not a lawyer, just friends with many.

Well, that was fast. https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football/2020/02/112146/ohio-state-dismisses-amir-riep-jahsen-wint-from-football-team#comment-form Amir Riep and Jashen Wint have been dismissed from the Ohio State football team.

I don't know if this should go here or in the Elon Musk thread, but...uhh, that's quite the walk back by Musk in less than a year on Tesla's "full-self driving." Just another Musk over-promise? Also, how are these Tesla cars supposed to be robotaxis if full-self driving means "it has some chance of going from your home to work...with no interventions....above 0 chance?" To be a functioning "robotaxi" it needs to be able to do everything 100%, right?

Are people that excited about a gas station? I mean, I've stopped at many Sheetz before - and the food there is basically incomparable to any other gas stations, which makes it very appealing for road trips and such - but...come on, it's a gas station lol.

Jones to IR (bad). Foudy up on emergency recall (both bad and good?). Carlsson back up (meh?).

Lol. Sell a handful of things on eBay/Craigslist and it's easy to get this much money.

To be fair, most of the stock buys are for future performance. Tesla has doubled in sales every two years. Obviously, at some point, they won't be able to keep up that pace. But the bet the bulls are making is that Tesla will continue to penetrate the market and hold ~17-20% of the EV market globally going forward, if not more.

The TSLA trading is getting very Bitcoin/Enron-esque.

One day, you will tell your kids you were long TSLA @ ~$200 lol Btw, it's ~$900 premarket this morning. Insane.

I mean, yes, trading one stock alone is always incredibly risky. And I don't have the risk appetite for it. But for your 5/15 timeline, I'd look at, maybe a $500 put (costs about $20 right now). They have said Q1 will be poor performance financially. Add in GF3 is closed due to coronavirus and they're going to focusing on Model Y deliveries - new model launches always seem to come with headaches. Plus, seasonally Q1 is historically difficult for automakers. I could see a lot of declining QoQ and YoY numbers in their Q1 financials. It's still incredibly expensive and risky just to buy a $500 put - a full 23% below their current share price and you'd need it to go below $480 to break even. EDIT - as I said, it's becoming a cult stock anyway. Either they go the way of AAPL pre-iPhone (the cultists are actually right) or it comes bounding back down to reality. A $115bn market cap makes no sense on a company that's never had a profitable year. $105m net income in Q4 on $7.4 bn in revenue is terrible. Q4 doesn't even look good: -Auto revenues up 1% YoY -Total revenues up 2% YoY -Operating margin: 4.9% (isn't good) and is DOWN 0.8% YoY / Similarly declining total GAAP gross margin -GAAP Net Income: -25% YoY -GAAP EPS: -28% YoY

TSLA is up near $650 now, mostly on Q4 earnings. YoY things weren't that great, but with this stock it's turning into a cult where facts don't seem to matter. If I had any play money / was less risk averse I'd be thinking about buying some puts. The company had a tiny net income on $7+ bn in revenue Q4 (margins were something like 4.9%) and the stock still popped.

About 4-5 more hours and we can officially call this a troll job.

https://www.columbusunderground.com/kolache-republic-closing-next-month-sp1 Kolache Republic is closing next month, citing rising rent costs.

We're, amazingly, almost at $600 in LESS THAN TWO WEEKS FROM THIS POST.

^^Except they have two Super Bowls since moving to Baltimore.

What are your thoughts on TSLA? LOL

Isn't there a new area code within/near 614? 380?

Tesla recorded record deliveries in Q4 and delivered more than 367k vehicles in 2019. But with the U.S. tax credit not being extended, sales should drop to 0 in 2020, right?

This is what I get for posting without coffee!

Markus Nutivaara has been activated from IR as well and he was practicing yesterday along with Cam Atkinson. Going to be interesting to see what Jarmo does with the goalies on the California road trip. Elvis has looked stellar, but he can't start every game, can he? Getting a lot of '14-'15 vibes right now.

Finally got around to Chernobyl on HBO - it's really well done. Also finally got around to The OA after the cancellation announcement and it sucks it ended so quickly. We gave a few of the fall shows a try but haven't been able to stick with any of them. Meh. Between sharing accounts with parents and in-laws, we have access to virtually every streaming service.
