There are carbon fiber E-bikes, perhaps it’s “few” but there are people paying to have a more light bike since the extra weight up and down hill isn’t as fun
The weight difference between equivalent carbon and aluminum eMTBs is generally around a kg, but the argument for carbon MTBs has mostly shifted away from weight. While carbon fails more catastrophically than aluminum, it's harder to hit the failure point and it's less susceptible to stress fractures. It is also generally argued that carbon is both more dampening and stiffer in the places you want stiff, but it is very hard to tell how real that is.
They are using AWS for the cheap part, the content and rights is far more expensive. You think it costs 50M to stream a 2 hour show for millions of people, or the production of said show/movie?
yes this is 100% accurate. All these dummies laughing at ARK/Cathie Wood while she talked about Tesla/AMD/Biotech innovation years ago. WSB is far more educated compared to MSNBC/Jim Cramer crowd.
People and the media is not stating the simple fact that they short interest has been over 100% since June. I bought a bunch and told all my friends/family about it and everything laughed at me. Now those people asking me what they think about it.
Likely they started short positions around $10 in 2019, had a nice profitable trade, started to bleed out then doubled down and increased position as it picked up momentum. Now they are far over their head and from the looks of things, stock is going to $200.
Lots of people made tons of money shorting tesla. Until they didnt and stock kept doubling.
same can be said about just about anything, no? running marathons, startups, cooking a great dish... No one on WSB is saying its for everyone, thats why they talk trash about themselves.
you can learn to run a marathon, cook, etc. with a much higher chance of success then something like trading stocks or to a less degree starting a business. the latter pursuits have a much more volatile environment that rewards luck > skill
Investing is not luck. It's luck if you make just one or two trades.
In the long run, statistical iterations (that you have modeled/researched correctly) will give you positive returns with a very high confidence.
Situations like in this post are obviously not that. I have a trading strategy that I execute over hundreds of trades per year based upon financial modeling and financial statement analysis. There's a little luck involved, but over many trades, the luck aspect cancels itself out.
It's like rolling the dice. If you bet on getting a certain number, and roll once, it's luck. If you bet on averaging a certain number and roll 1000 times, there's virtually no luck at all.
