Oh but that it were just batterys. Or electric cars. No, we're malinvesting in Tesla creating body shops, service centers, service vehicles, delivery truck lines & collision insurance. Because somehow the existing people just don't know as much as Silicon Valley.
Nice side benefit is we can watch muted shit on benny and root for injurys in TGR bumfights 2019.Last edited by dunfree ; 05-03-2019 at 06:49 PM.

so the economy is destine to crash when all the 1% and 10% decide to stop dumping all their money into scams like tesla, ride sharing companies that don't make any money, and fake meat that probably has nasty side effects we don't know of yet (like men growing a vagina)
since the banking, insurance, and investing was all deregulated, a massive hurricain on the east coast, another somewhere in the gulf coast, and a massive earthquake on the west coast all within a few months of each other will bankrupt the insurance industry which is now run and being bled dry by the banking industry, the goverment will need to bail them out, but we are already trillions in debt
meanwhile at the same time people will relize that these tech companies who produce or make nothing tangible are really worth nothing more than a pile of dog shit, tech bubble bust #2
finally the millenials will call out the boomers out on their life long selfish yuppie pursuit of the free market and making themselves rich and comfortable while 60% of the population is one step away from bankruptcy
but hey I have a tesla and I'm cool, my hands are soft, my dick is alot like a pussy, and I know my way around an app, but couldn't dig a hole in the ground if I tried
get ready it's coming and it'll be better than 2008

We had the crash over ten years ago. If you survived it, you are where you are. Unless they think up some new subprime credit scam that can be chopped up into securities and sold to bigger fools, this is it until a catastrophic event, like war or stray asteroid or a game show host elected president. Oh, wait.....

Beyond Meat is one of those companies whose R&D and marketing expenses are heavily front-loaded, which is why huge losses aren't at all the right metric for evaluating the company's value. With ingredients like pea protein, it's a no-brainer that they can manufacture their product, almost without doubt ARE manufacturing their product, at a healthy gain versus marginal costs, and at huge volume, their actual costs should approach marginal costs. This is a food niche with the potential to go massively mainstream long-term, and Beyond is one of the two top players. A very speculative kind of stock, but not one that I'd bet against.

David Einhorn says musk talks horseshit. Einhorn stock GLRE is down 80% in two years. Talk is cheap.

marketing is not heavily front-loaded for branded consumer food products. It's a continuous expense of a non-trivial nature. no matter how good the food "tech" Beyond's still competing in grocery stores, TarMarts and food service with everyone else and competitions tough. it's a food company.
much like Tesla. It's a car company. no amount of bullshitting turns it into a software company.

Is there anything as tasty as their product in grocery stores that they are competing directly against? If not, they are not simply competing with 'everyone else' in a tough market. And they are one of the first in the market. I'd hate to be the 4,343rd energy drink, but it's different for one of the first non-meat products that (supposedly) tastes good. I wish them luck, if it tastes good I may buy it occasionally.

Yeah. Meat. In the fake-meat? Impossible Burgers. In the Veggie Burgers? Boca Burgers. Beyond is competing against all those for dinner plate space and shelf space in the store - and that's their bull story - that they will compete well with all of those - not that they are going to be a niche vegan fake-meat sold in granola-y grocery stores. Energy drinks made money stealing market share from soda.

Touche
So just one major competition then: Impossible burgers. IMO Boca burgers are fucking average tasting and for vegetarians. Beyond burgers are going after people who eat meat too, as you know. They better have good marketing if they can convince millions of Americans people to switch though, ha. Even if their shit better tastes like heaven that will be an uphill battle. Anyways, they probably package themselves as a tech company to get ridiculous investment money. Then somehow pump up the valuation like a tech stock so the C-Suite dinks and all that can make bank on the IPO. Shit is weird.

Huh, I presumed those burgers are healthy. They have a shitload of salt! And twice the price of beef. I didn’t realize it’s marketed to save the planet for rich people....those .fucking Tesla owners!!!
