On September 22 Tesla is going to reveal its 1 mln mile battery or so they promise. It will become clear how far Tesla is ahead vs competition, how many and what RareEarth elements their new battery includes, and if it makes sense at all to invest in Workhorse, Solo, Nikola, Fisker and others. Because battery is the golden egg in this game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dydo 1,589 Posted July 18 Author Share Posted July 18 When I started this website there was a person for a every company who could not see anything else make it in the world. One thing is to invest in one company, but to see world where there is only one company? All or nothing are selfish scenarios which never made in reality. A company going from 1 to 2 is also a double. I feel I need to defend some thumb argument conditions. So I will not. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dydo 1,589 Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 Fisker twitted about 7K deposits were made for the Ocean. More models are planned. I am not sure if anyone is interested in the investing in the SPAQ, but there is an important vote Monday. SPAQ needs an extension to merge with Fisker. Their charter which ends on August 14th, needs amendment. Long story short and an obstacle will be gone by Monday afternoon. The stock is cheap. My first buy put me up in the clouds, but I managed to average, still underwater, but I have good feelings here. Waiting for the ticker change and the company renaming, that's sometime end of September, October. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can see that VM connection used heavily in the presentation made huge negative impact when Fisker declared talks landed no deal, but action is pretty sad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dydo 1,589 Posted August 5 Author Share Posted August 5 I almost allowed my feelings to do the trick on me. I thought of the SPAQ trading pattern as a disappointment. I decided to use logic to combat feelings. I ran a background comparison to the NKLA trading pattern by capturing the announcement of the merger as a day one for both companies. Remarkably, the first observation surprises with how early in the early days of the transformation SPAQ is. NKLA has gradually improved its share price only 20 days before the ticker change. For over nine weeks since the announcement of the merger, the stock acted as nothing happened. Those who are long the stock should not be worried about the stock pattern. It is merely time to accumulate. Please click on the chart below to see it in the full view Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They sell them and price/quality is very competitive with Model 3 in China. I think they are much better than LiAuto (recent IPO)... XPENG is backed by Alibaba and Sovereign wealth fund Qatar Investment Authority, Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth fund Mubadala. Below is (1 month old) review of their P7 model. Looks great!!! Regarding SPAQ/Fisker: My concern at this point is time. If I got myself into Fisker (with only prototype on hands) I may miss on series of very promising IPOs which are coming very very soon to US: Palantir, Airbnb, Xpeng..... On top of it - I am very irritated by Henrik's constant mentioning of word "recycled" in his promotional videos. Not the best word to be associated with word "quality"... Just my opinion.

dydo 1,589 Posted August 5 Author Share Posted August 5 Not interested in anything Chinese, to be honest. Yes he is irritating in many ways but renewable, recycled is the name of the game. Missing out is a good reason but I am not to concerned with that personally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You were not aware on a day one that car will produced in 2022 Q4? You think the money is dead because business milestones are being completed and there is nothing left for value to materialize? When you read that $10B in sales are being estimated, and at 3 times of sales this puts value of Fisker at $100, post merger share count, and they trade at $12, it is too long. Concluding that the factory was always planned for EU, read the presentation, I am not sure what impulse made you to buy SPAQ in a first place. You had no actual information in hand, so it appears.

Then if you do, certainly a lot of facts known for a long time seem as a surprise to you. Moreover, they appear to you as negative. I would imagine being aware of things you dislike would made you not to buy shares. Of course, my assessment is through my actions and how I prepare my buys. As to why you write, you are the only one who knows. A lot of people on message boards write things when they do not own shares of the companies. , so it is not unusual. I wrote two posts on CSIQ board, I do not have shares in the company at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
