Clearing Out The In-Box -- January 3, 2022
Tesla smashed expectations; delivered way more EVs in 4Q21 than analysts forecast. Link here.
- record delivery for any quarter: 308,600 cars
- TSLA surges; company joins the exclusive $1 trillion market valuation club
- for the year: almost a million deliveries; actual: 936,000;
- analysts' forecast: 263,000 vs actual of 308,600 -- truly amazing -- and everyone was complaining about semiconductor chip supply chain issues
- this supports my view that supply chain issues had a lot to do with piss poor planning, not necessarily a supply chain shortage (don't take that out of context)
- TSLA: recently under $1,000 when Elon Musk started selling shares to pay outrageous federal and California state taxes; now, new price target of $1,400
Investing: the S&P 500 beat both the Dow and the NASDQ in 2021 by the widest margin in 24 years. Link here.
Chicago: announces vaccine. Goal: prevent new lockdowns.
Israel: offers fourth dose in less than a year. Previously, the fourth dose only for immuno-compromised; now available for everyone.
North Texas: it's cold down here. LOL. While cooking Cornish hen and lamb last night, I had to turn on the air conditioner to make the apartment a bit more comfortable for guests. Wow. What a great state. LOL.
