Racism is a disease
A BMW? You couldn't pay me to drive a BMW. I had a roommate who owned one and it was always breaking down. ICE cars are using 100 year old technology.
EV cars are the future and there isn't an ICE car that can match EVs in performance. I'll never buy another ICE car. From now on, it's only EVs for me.
BMW? BWWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!
LMAO! Limp dick Concart cannot use his EBT card to buy stocks for one. And cannot even balance a check book on top of that. Just another bullshitting welfare collecting Democrat.

Your 'racism is a disease' tagline and desire to buy a Tesla reminded of this article from last month's SF Chronicle by a food critic/columnist. It caught my eye because Tesla is such a popular car in the Bay Area and L.A., for understandable reasons.
I wanted a Tesla. Then I found out the company doesn't hire enough Black people
If one of Tesla’s futuristic sedans had driven past me on the highway during my move from Louisiana to the Bay Area four years ago, I wouldn’t have noticed. I would have missed those sleek Tesla car doors without handles, the dashboards without speedometers, the 15-inch mounted touchscreens. In my car was a busted CD player.
After a few months of seeing these cars darting through Russian Hill in San Francisco, silently steering into parking spots near restaurants in Marin or escaping into the confines of the Oakland hills, I became kind of obsessed. The cars had a clean, minimalist look unlike anything else on the road, and this appealed to me.
Maybe it was where I often passed the cars — usually in neighborhoods where I could only dream of one day owning a house — that had equated affluence and enlightenment to the Tesla brand. Owning a Tesla didn’t just mean I would be financially capable of cutting a $66,000 check for a fully upgraded Model 3, but I would also be doing my part in reducing carbon emissions. I wanted a Tesla of my own.
Then I found out Tesla doesn’t hire enough Black people.
Earlier this month, the company released its first U.S. diversity report. In it, Tesla revealed that Black people make up only 4% of its leadership roles and 10% of its workforce.
After reading this data, I don’t want a Tesla anymore. In fact, I don’t think any Black people should buy one until the company addresses its staffing issues.
Am I disappointed in Tesla? Absolutely. We’re in 2020, a year when some of the country’s biggest companies are sprinting to increase racial equity within their workforce. It’s an ongoing push that reached a milestone recently with OneTen, a coalition of 37 U.S. companies — Nike, Comcast, Target, Bank of America and Hewlett-Packard among them — that are aiming to hire and invest in 1 million Black Americans over the next 10 years. To my knowledge, Tesla isn’t a part of something so ambitious.
Tesla is worth roughly $550 billion, making it one of the most valuable auto companies on the planet. It’s based in the Bay Area. (For now.) And the company, in a statement, even said its employment numbers “do not represent the deep talent pools of Black and African American talent that exist in the U.S at every level — from high-school graduates to professionals.”
There’s something about Tesla acknowledging its diversity issues, and trying to justify it by stating how its leadership roles make up less than 0.4% of its overall workforce, that feels like the company is shrugging its shoulders at an important issue. This might be a byproduct of how they don’t often see Black people buying their cars.
I can count the number of Black Tesla owners I personally know on one hand — and have three fingers remaining. This is reflected in 2018 data compiled by a digital marketing company in the automotive aftermarket called Hedges & Company. Based on the company’s 2018 research, which included data from the master vehicle owner database of 175 million owners, “the average Tesla owner is a 54-year-old white man making over $140,000 with no children.”
Since falling in love with Tesla’s cars, I’ve joked with my two older brothers about how one day in the future, I would buy them Teslas as gifts. And being able to give them vehicles from this company would represent how I had “made it,” or reached a social and financial level uncommon among the Black folks we grew up around back home. After telling them about Tesla’s diversity issues, it isn’t a joke we really make anymore.
Now that the company is cementing its roots in Texas, I imagine more of my Black friends and family down South are going to be seeing Teslas driving in their cities. They’ll probably see them leaving and going into affluent neighborhoods, and eventually they’ll want one themselves. And when that time comes, I’ll tell them about Tesla’s leadership data, and I’ll tell them not to buy one.
With 2020 coming to an end, and so much work having been done in this country regarding the elevation of Black voices and Black talent, I’ll repeat something I’ve said before: Why try learning to love a company that doesn’t seem to be making an effort to love you back?

Are you sure? At the end of the option they have to replace the shares they shorted. It's going to be a sellers' market if the Redditors hold fast.
You have to realize you are talking to Concart. Read his posts. He does not know shit about anything financial but will certainly try to bullshit his way through it.
Why would I buy a stock that had a return that was less than the market as a whole?
If you bought GNTX on April 1 at 20.75, it was at 33.55 today. that is a return of only 61%
If you bought the Nasdaq QQQ on April 1 at 182.31, it was at 321.32 today for a return of 76%
If you were foolish enough to buy AAPL on April 1 at 60.23, today it closed at 137.09

of O'Biden fucking up the stock market.....
As if you knew any of that without googling. And anyone can be a Monday morning quarterback. Well, Democrats mostly.
Robinhood isn't a major platform. The reality is that most hedge funds can take a short term hit when they KNOW that people are going to dump the stock. And obviously, if someone is selling, there HAS to be a buyer. They didn't refuse trading, they refused orders. I think the other thing that needs to be said here is that most hedge funds are trading on behalf of small investors. To me, this is someone taking advantage of some naive investors to make a bunch of money. I hate day trading, it's damaged the foundations of the market. This is just day trading on a massive scale. A lot of people lost a lot of money today, and blaming Robin Hood or blaming a hedge fund for shorting a stock is misguided IMHO.
You are a moron. This has nothing to do with Biden. He's been in office for a week, dimwit.

gosh, where did you find Roku stock for $50 in 2020?......
They won't. That's why these kinds of schemes always fail. All of these stocks tanked today.

link me to your prediction that QQQ was a good investment on April 1......
Investing in March, especially in sound companies in depressed industries was a surefire formula for success. My wife sold a property and we had 100K to invest. We've tripled our money despite the fact that the stocks we purchased aren't currently paying dividends (we're almost exclusively in preferred stocks now) Commercial Real Estate and Hospitality. I bought Ashford at around five bucks. The day traders bailed when the company offered to buy back at 7.50. It's at 16 today. If they announce a dividend, it will go to over 20 easily, and we can get some income.
LOL they supposedly are in the red billions you dumbass
It took the White House to make the brokers stop letting people but the stock to drive the price back down so they wouldn't lose so much. You are a fucking idiot
