Tesla, over at SeekingAlpha -- quietly cuts leasing rates
- Tesla quietly absorbs the $1875 FIT credit reduction and leaves lease prices unchanged, which is effectively a price cut.
- Tesla is signaling that it will miss 2019 delivery guidance of 360,000-400,000 units by not reaffirming guidance.
- Tesla's Q3 risks a repeat of the disappointing Q1 results as the FIT credit reduction on July 1st likely pulled demand forward into Q2.
- employees promised bonus if goal of 33,000 hit
- goal missed
- no more mention of bonus; employees not expecting to see bonuses
Iran started it, Lloyds of London will stop it: tanker rates soar 10-fold after Iranian shenanigans in the Strait of Hormuz. I don't know if Iranians understand the insurance business.

The Book Page
Casablanca: "everyone" knows the story; the censors at the time were concerned with adultery; some might see "bigamy" in the story.
Back Street, from wiki: the story follows two lovers who have limited opportunities to get together because one of them is married. Again, "bigamy."
From Jane Eyre: Portrait of a Life, Maggie Berg, c. 1987, page 11:
A year after the publication of Jane Eyre (1847), Elizabeth Rigby expressed concern that sales of the book were so high:It is quite amazing. Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights is the classic, towering over everything the Brontës did. I always thought Jane Eyre was second-rate when compared to Wuthering Heights. But now, it appears that of the two, Jane Eyre may be the more timeless.
Mr Rochester is a man who deliberately and secretly seeks to violate the laws both of God and man [bigamy], and yet we will be bound half our readers are enchanted with him for a model of generosity and honour. We would have though that such a hero had had no chance, in the purer taste of the present day [Victorian England]; but the popularity of Jane Eyre is proof how deeply the love of the illegitimate romance is implanted in our nature.
