Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]

I think the Tesla model 3 starts at $35,00, the model S starts at about $68,000 but the new one that was just unveiled is over $100,00.
Sorry to have confused you but you must have missed the 'key word' in that sentence which was NEW.
Read the article below that explains it all.
I also read another article that they now want to put into the infrastructure of the freeways a system that can charge electric cars while you are driving them down the freeway.

How long do you think Poland will take to do that ?
I will be dead and gone before all this becomes a reality.
Much of what is to come with electric cars has not even been developed yet.
I found this an interesting article.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-08-04/karma-revero-review-this-is-a-very-bad-car-and-here-is-why

I am done talking about my semi retired "day trading" job.
(Now you may understand why I spend so much time on line)
Harry questioned my day trading skills so I stuck my neck out and shared when I bought more Tesla stock on the advice of my trading charts.

Successful stock trading all boils down to timing of when to buy and when to sell.
Without my trading charts I would feel naked in the stock market.
My intent was not to boast but share which seems to bring out provoking jealous derogatory remarks.
I don't need that kind of punch in the gut attitudes from idiots.

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]

The cost of a new Tesla electric cars in the U.S.A. start at over $100,000 USD which makes it doubtful that a whole lot of them would be sold in Poland.


There is a long waiting line for them right now because they can not make them fast enough.

And for you doubters that mocked me, it has only been two weeks now and Tesla stock (TSLA) just hit my strike price today @ $357 !
Go back up to post #72 and read what I said about buying 10 call option stocks on Tesla which I did.


I got mocked about free rocks.
Well Marsupial & mafketis, instead of being such wise asses when someone gives you advice about investing maybe you should listen and learn.

My contract is up 67% in two weeks.
Plus the100 regular shares that I bought for $312 on July 6th (post #52) I just cashed out on @$357 today (30 days held) and made another $4500 on those 100 regular shares.


And I am still hanging unto my those original 200 shares of Tesla which has made me another $22,800 to date.
I still believe that Tesla stock could hit $1000 per share in three or four years.
So Harry, what ya'll think of my day trading skills now old boy ? :-)

polinv mentioned the heavy short position of a lot of big investors.
That's true, but most of them are under water on their positions, and some are now significantly in the red.
I read somewhere yesterday that the short people had lost $800 million on their short positions just on Wednesday and Thursday of this week.
There would have been further big losses today.
If TSLA continues to creep up, many of them are going to throw in the towel and cover their positions.
I believe that the value of the short position is $12 billion.
When some of those people begin to panic and start to buy to cover, there is going to be a short term surge in the price.

After the good earnings report this week my trading charts are showing the price began to move a lot and some of them may already be beginning to buy to cover their positions.

Anyway, as I said before, only time will tell.

Thanks to Trump, we've had a good market this year.

Back on topic however.........
Poland doesn't seem to have the market for electric cars presently because of the cost and infrastructure it takes to operate them.

Only time will tell.
Like Marsupial said, "this is early in the game", but so far I have made $23,000 on Tesla stock, which is enough for me to get a free vacation to Jamaica all winter and another one to Poland all next summer.

Free is good.

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]


I am very aware of that and my hat is off to you for picking up on that.
Not many here even know what you are talking about.
A lot of people, mainly analysts, see TSLA as a normal automobile manufacturer.
Its production and sale of cars isn't anywhere near where F and GM are.
It's not doing business like the bigger guys, using dealers and big parts and service areas of the dealership.
And they probably won't make a profit for a couple of years.
They said similar things about AMZN (Amazon) up until two or three years ago.
You are right a lot of people have shorted the stock.
They may be right and I may be wrong, but I do know that that represents a lot of people who are going to be BUYING shares one day to cover their positions.

I don't pay too much attention to fundamentals, except for debt and cash flow.
I watch my investing charts and a lot of people are steadily buying.
About the time that you begin to see favorable articles about TSLA, the stock will be above $1,000.
It's the same story that I've seen over and over again throughout my life.
If you have limited resources it may be more risky than you should be looking at, and that's fine.
Especially going the options route.
When you try to get into a new concept like this there are risks.
But down the road when things begin to work out the way I think they will, you can still buy it.
I look at Elon Musk's past successes, both with TSLA up to this point, and his Space-X company, and batteries, and solar technology.
The guy is good, a lot better than the morons who are running Ford and GM.
How all of this will effect Poland, who knows but it will.

That is exactly what it is......the Wall Street Casino.
And I will be the first to admit that I have lost my share also.
I would be ashamed to tell how much I lost a few years back investing in gold.
Tesla is a growing Corporation that is going nowhere soon.


Remember mate that the northern half of the United States is cold and grey six months a year.
You would use up your energy pack just on the heater in the car when it is sub zero not to mention no sunshine for weeks at a time to recharge with.

I would expect Poland is about the same.

This ain't the down under.

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]

That's why we call it "Day Trading".


Oh, I am not buying an electric car, I am just buying Tesla's stock.
Harry mocked me (like you are doing) for not being a successful day trader so I stuck my neck out on the line and shared my stock trading with Tesla (TSLA) here for everyone to see and to make Harry turn green.

Go back to post #52 on July 6th when I bought another 100 shares of TSLA at $312 per share and where I already owned 200 shares since March that I bought at $243 a share.

Today it is currently at $343 per share so since July 6th I have made $3000 on those 100 shares plus another $6000 on the 200 shares that I bought back in March so in the last two weeks I have made $9000 on just that one stock which is more then Harry made all last year.

Am I boasting ? No, I just want to explain to Harry that I take my day trading very seriously as it is my livelihood in retirement.

Tesla is a very expensive stock and hard to buy very many shares.
But, one way to do it would be to buy 10 call option contracts.
Here's an example.
On Friday the price closed at $328.40.
If you bought 10 call option contracts for September 15th delivery you would control the equivalent of 1,000 shares, since each contract is for 100 shares.
If the strike price was $330 per share it would cost you about $21,000.
If instead you chose a strike price of $340 per share it would cost $16,450, based on last Friday's option prices.
If, before September 15th, the price moved up to $350, or 6.5% above where it was friday, you could make as much as $20,000 for the $330 strike price and $10,000 for the $340 strike price.

As I predicted yesterday because of Model 3 coming out this friday that the stock would go up today which it did by $12 per share.
This should be a very solid stock until the fad of these electric cars diminish which they will.
So Marsupial and Harry, keep right on mocking me as I laugh at you both all the way to the bank.

That is one of the easiest and most profitable strains that there is.
Was very popular here in the States thirty years ago also.
Today I think the Blue Dream and Gorilla Glue are the two most popular strains around here.
These kids have it down to a science in how to grow the crap in 90 days from start to finish.
I know the kid down the road a half mile away is growing Blue Dream and it stinks so bad I can smell skunk all the way down here day and night.

He has a medical card that allows him to grow legally so like everyone else he really doesn't hide it much anymore.
It use to be smuggled in from Jamaica, Mexico and Columbia but now that the laws have changed the money is staying in the U.S.A. verses going to foreign countries.

It will become legal in Poland once the Polish government figures out a way to tax it so they get the biggest piece of the pie from it.

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]


Regarding TSLA, I seldom view anything as long term, more like two to three weeks, but I think I will be holding this one for awhile.

At least another eight weeks and then sell half of it and take my gain for the year.
Last Friday it closed at $328.
A lot is riding on the big introduction of the Model 3, which I think will be this coming Friday.
Right now nobody knows much about the car.
They haven't permitted any pictures of the interior, just the exterior.
There's no information about the specs: expected range, possibility of free charging at the super charging stations, the installed self - driving software, etc.

If the analysts like what they see on Friday, TSLA stock will probably get a big bump on the following monday and continue going up.

If the model 3 is too good, they may worry that it will cannibalize sales of the Models S and X, which are much more expensive and more profitable.

Share price in that event will not get too much of a bump immediately, but will take longer to move up.
Can't wait to see this Model 3.

Poland doesn't really have the climate for it to be able to finish into quality buds.
Photosynthesis is what triggers the plant to flower meaning the daylight has to be less then 12 to 13 hours a day for that to occur with weed.

In Poland you will not get those days until September when the temperature is well below the ideal range for ganja.
Ideally the temperature has to be 78* to 82* which Poland is nowhere close to in September (and colder at nights which shocks the plant to become dormant)when photosynthesis takes place to trigger the plant to flower thus the plant doesn't have time to complete its flowering stage.

That's where that green chlorophyll taste comes from that gives you a headache. (Mean green)
Poland only has about 40% of it's days in the summer that have adequate sun intensity to grow a plant properly to make sugary coated buds that glisten which is about four weeks short in what it needs to grow da quality bud.

The younger crowd here in America is now smoking the wax made from the buds instead of the weed itself.
Easier to conceal, no odor and ten times as strong so you only need a pinch.
I'm afraid if I tried that stuff they would find me on the floor of the shower babbling Swahili with the water running.

The most notable cannabinoid is the phytocannabinoid tetrahydrocannabinol, the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis.
In some of the medical marijuana used for such seizures the tetrahydrocannabinol, (THC) has been removed so you don't get the euphoria buzz.
There are at least 113 different cannabinoids isolated from cannabis, exhibiting varied effects.
Some of them do your bodies organs and brain cells no favors.

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]


That doesn't even make sense.
Those Republicans promised their constituents for seven long years that they would vote to abolish obama care but claimed their hands were tied because obama held the pen to sign such a bill.

Now that Trump has the pen they obviously were lying as they voted against it.


Correct so how can you make such an analogy with the liars running America that speak to keep their gravy jobs and not what the people elected them to do ?

Poland (PiS & PO) like America (Republican & Democrat) has gone down the tubes.
It is now the Patriots Party (right wing) and the Progressive Party (left wing).
The Patriots want to keep the countries culture and history and the Progressives want to destroy the culture and history by "enriching" it with their Socialism.

My understanding is that Panasonic makes the cells and Tesla makes the modules and packs.
Panasonic invested heavily in Tesla Manufacturing Plants of batteries.
The Tesla Gigafactory 1 is a lithium-ion battery factory under construction, primarily for Tesla Inc. in Clark, Nevada,
The factory started limited production of Powerwalls and Powerpacks in the first quarter of 2016 using battery cells produced elsewhere, and began mass production of cells in January 2017.

The Gigafactory will be managed by Tesla with Panasonic joining as the principal partner responsible for lithium-ion battery cells and occupying approximately half of the planned manufacturing space, key suppliers combined with Tesla's module and pack assembly will comprise the other half of this fully integrated industrial complex.

Another Gigafactory 2 (a Tesla Battery Manufacturing Plant) is located in Buffalo New York USA.
Another Gigafactory (3) is going to be built by Tesla in the Czech Republic in Prague where a huge lithium deposit is located.
Very good time to make a long term investment in Tesla as their aim is to eventually be the number one car manufacturer in the world.

Sounds like a good time to buy a coal mine cheap.
What you say is true and goes for the burning of coal also.
Who knows what the future has to bring with the burning of coal.
Some sharp scientist from Poland may design a product when mixed with coal would give off a very low rate of carbon emissions making coal priceless for those rainy days when there is no sunshine.

I do know one thing though and that is Nuclear energy is very clean and very cheap.
One nuclear reactor in northern Poland could give Poland a huge boost not only for electric cars but also its economy and independence from Russia.

I hate it when someone calls me a liar.
Here is my source weg, what do you have to support your doubtful "bullshit" remark big guy ?

principia-scientific.org/study-tesla-car-battery-production-releases-as-much-co2-as-8-years-of-driving-on-gas

Mats-Ola Larsson at IVL has calculated how long you need to drive a gasoline or diesel car before it released as much CO2 as the battery manufacturing produced. The result was 2.7 years of CO2 emissions for a battery the same size as a Nissan Leaf and 8.2 years for a Tesla-sized battery, based on a series of assumptions.

These cars are a fad and after huge amounts of money is made by a select few on them I predict we go right back to carbon emission cars.

News / Poland has accepted over a million Ukrainian refugees. Why does the EU keep telling propaganda about Poland? [304]

The Polish people have spoken.
Last week, Breitbart London reported a study which found most Poles said they would rather leave the EU than have Brussels force migrants from third world nations on their country.

Conducted by pollster IBRiS, the survey found that 57 per cent of respondents would be willing to forego EU development funds if it meant Poland retains sovereignty on the issue of accepting migrants from outside Europe.

Even when the PO tried to undermine the PiS decision and make several cities in Poland sanctuary cities for Muslim immirants it was stifled.
So I guess the otherwise propaganda that the Commie ex-pats living in Poland is just that in order to destroy Poland's culture.
Keep Poland Polish !

It is not fake rubbish cowboy but I do have a great sense of humor.
Electric cars are an up and coming short life fad and I even invested in them last March.
You guys always wonder if I am really into trading stocks well I will let you in on one.
I am betting on Tesla Motors making a huge amount of money in a short period of time on these cars before the fad is over and people quit buying them.

Tesla makes cars and energy lithium-ion storage batteries for cars here in America.
I bought 200 shares of their stock back in March at $243 per share. (TSLA)
Today I just bought some more at $312 per share as I think it has a good chance of taking off this summer.
Keep track of what it does in the next few months before I cash out.
I will either end up having a very luxurious time in the Caribbean this winter or egg on my face so Harry can mock me. lol

So hide and watch to see what happens with my short term investment.
That is my personal take on electric cars.

Perhaps that is because it is you that has nothing concrete to share.
You made a claim and I simply ask you to back it up with something besides your opinion which you apparently can not do.


You accuse me of fake stats, yet that is exactly what you seem to be posting as you can not produce the twenty ways electricity is made without using solid fuels.

You made that claim and I simply ask you to tell us what those twenty ways were but you apparently can not.
I would call that "Fake News".


Oh, so perhaps you could tell us where you do get your science from then ?
Producing and operating a electric car is more toxic to the environment then a gas operated car.
Electric cars are a fad that will soon be forgotten as many will walk away rich people like Al Gore has.

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]

So true but you won't convince the Greenies of that.


Yup and to build one of those lead lithium ion batteries takes forever plus the toxic chemicals that it takes to mine that lead and the toxic wastes in build the battery and the disposal of the toxic old batteries.......is just so much better for the environment.

But electric is so much cleaner.........really ?.......where does that electric come from ?.........coal plants you say.........
Those batteries cost between $3000 and $5000 and only last about 80,000 miles and you need a new one installed.
And the toxic chemicals used to recycle the old ones.
Only cost $500 to get a new one installed.
Bottom line is these electric cars are gonna make some people very rich with no effect on the environment what so ever.
In fact gas cars produce much less environmental harm then do these toxic electric cars over all from what I have read.

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]

Since the money for infrastructure of the roads being built and maintained comes from gas tax is it fair electric cars use these roads without paying any tax ?

A growing number of states are imposing new fees on electric vehicles as officials scrounge for ways to pay for infrastructure projects they say are long overdue.

At least five states, including California, passed bills targeting the cars this year, bringing the total number with fees on the books to 13.
The charges generally range from $100 to $200 a year.

Food / Poles prefer pizza & kebab? [73]


A scientific study conducted on beverages sold at popular UK coffee chains Costa Coffee, Cafe Nero and Satrbucks have shown that the drinks test positive for fecal bacteria.

Costa was the worst offender with 7 out of ten samples testing positive for the waste based bacteria.

Tony Lewis of Britain's Chartered Institute of Environmental Health has said of the findings,
"These should not be present at any level never mind the significant numbers found".

It is still unclear how the fecal matter got into the drinks but similar cases where beverages from a CocaCola plant in Germany were transported to Northern Ireland and arrived containing fecal bacteria.

The root cause was thought to be self styled refugees defecating in the back of shipping containers inside of cargo trucks.

And the European girls that were attacked were clean, circumspect in their behavior, and reasonably polite, just minding their own business speaking in their native tongues surely remains a greater concern because they were not guests in a foreign country where they were unwanted but physically attacked on their own soil in their own back yard.

Being "verbally" attacked does not begin to compare to being "physically" attacked and possibly being exposed to a deadly decease now does it.
