It has been an amazing (good) year for momo.

TSLA, ZM, NVDA, JD...quite amazing. PDD is new for me but it is already up crazy since I bought it.

My particular form of momentum investing/trading rebalances monthly so I've sold off a fair amount of all of them on the way up.

These things come to an end however, they always do.

I keep telling you guys: Best car ever. Never going back to gasoline.
Still loving the 3? I've been looking at new cars, specifically the 3 and the Bolt.

Teslas look fucking amazing, but I'm leery of their hackability. I don't like the idea of self-driving capabilities combined with being connected to a server. Is there something inherent in how Tesla set them up that prevents someone hacking in and driving them away (again) or locking them down, or is it just a grudge match between Tesla and hackers?

Am I the only one wary of stuffing more and more high-tech crap into cars? The cynic in me thinks it's the only way they can sustain a moderate level of price inflation and keep their profit margins up. If they built a car today with the technology of a car from 1985 it would probably cost $3,000.

Yes, I know a lot of this is regulatory and that the NHTSA wouldn't let you build a car nowadays without automatic front back middle side up down force-predictive intelligently triggered nitrogen-filled carbon-neutral foam-cushioned airbags and all that jazz.
Yea, I wish someone would make a bare-bones electric that got 300 miles a charge. Or like, not even bare-bones (I like AC, cruise control, and a sound system), but just without the connectivity, cameras, 0-60/top speed, and luxury materials.
You there, Ephialtes. May you live forever.
