high frequency trading means each plunge is going to be characterized with lots of little spikes as firms buy and sell the stock in massive tranches for $0.00003 a share over the course of like three seconds

Tesla has always played it fast and loose with things like GAAP but my guess is that Musk has started pressuring people into doing straight up illegal poo poo with the numbers

a CAO resigning that quickly doesn't strike me as someone pressured to do something illegal that hadn't been done before. it strikes me as a CAO figuring out illegal stuff has definitely been going on for a while and quits before he finds proof and either becomes a criminal or becomes a whistleblower (because being a whistleblower is not a great way to continue to have a business career).

Not as productive as I should be
I honestly think he wants to escape Tesla and get kicked out by the board. He's going to act dumber and more erratic until they kick him out.

This is the same poo poo people say about trump but neither of their egos will let them quit or be fired.

Yeah the fact that he was there only a month means that he left before he had to sign off on ANYTHING. He does not want his name attached to anything tesla puts out. Its pretty telling.

don't short stocks, buy/sell stock options, or trade commodities futures.

all of them are negative expected value (for every winner, there is a loser, but the house takes its cut). the only way you will be likely to come out ahead is if you have superior information to the market, which is almost always either (a) illegal (and you're not the sort that can get away with it) or (b) not actually true and you're just fooling yourself. so you're going to, on average, lose more money than you win. it's reinforced by the fact there are certainly some players in the market who do have that illegal secret information but know how to mask trading on it.

buying and holding stocks and bonds has a positive expected return, so blindly buying stocks and/or bonds is going to, on average, pay off.

here, where there's a clear bubble caused by idiots, you might think that there's a positive expected return because you have superior information to the common idiot buying tesla, but the problem is that you need to know when it's going to tank, because shorting/buying put options is expensive and so you have to be right within a certain amount of time. the rest of the market also knows that tesla is doomed so the virtually risk-free long term options are already real expensive.

when tesla does collapse you'll think "i knew it, i shoulda shorted it/bought those put options" but that's just hindsight bias, you didn't know when it was going to happen and could have easily lost your shirt betting the market would revert to rationality earlier than it actually did.

i realize this was probably a joke but i've had to deal with enough poor suckers who got conned into doing stupid poo poo in the markets like investing in commodities futures to last a lifetime that i want to warn people :smith:
