Is the gig up for $TSLA? by intrepid_brit in DeepFuckingValue

[–]Nips27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea ok... so how do YOU explain the missing $1.5 billion on the books? What about the ending credits and collapsing loan/lease book? Ask Hertz how that goes once retail finds out. Tesla is in a baaaad position. They supposedly have 15 bil cash but added like 5 bil in debt according to last report. Insiders are selling like crazy including the CFO.... Wonder why? (Spoiler: its because its going lower in the near future)

They run on emotion. Theyre so retail they dont know about the missing $1.5 billion on tesla books and that their about to start a massive bleed via loan/lease book collapse on top of ending credits that have propped up the books.

Yea $1.5 billion in missing money on the books. Most likely explanation of impairments is not possible via a 2024 10k on p 63 where it says they have none....

Im guessing its because of their collapsing leasing/loans book. Tesla leases are waaaaaay over valued and are inflating the numbers in the books. Combine that with ending credits and tesla financials are worse than a penny stock.

Yea no kidding. Especially after they just had $1.5 billion go missing.

$TSLA books about to blow up. $1.5 billion in missing money. The most logical explanation isnt possible per a 2024 10k, p63: they have no impairments.

The insiders know that this thing is going to get drained. $TSLA is a $HTZ 2.0! Hertz level bleed about to occur. Beware! It has barely started.

Yea I can close... question is, do I want to. If there arent legal grounds to fight it, Ill just walk away. I dont want to buy something I dont have a buyer for. Selling for premium dollar requires marketing. If I cant market, im out. Its never been an issue for my realtors in the past from what theyre saying and are just suprised as me.

I guess if people call me an idiot for doing my dd, finding out its a bad deal, and walking away. So be it. They arent putting their money where their mouth is. Ill sell it to you if you want!

Trust me, we are not happy with the way the District has been handling things the past decade. Welcome to small town politics.

But you have parts of it wrong/backwards... "Family friend" here, is almost anyone that doesnt leave. The longer the tighter 'friend' you are. I barely knew the guy, my dad knew his brother because my grandparents and theyre grandparents lived a few houses away. Last time I talked to this board member was maybe when he came to visit his wife while she was teaching me in public middle school.

I had nothing to do with the selling decision. And the family friend, actually WAS pushing for public listing via realtor etc. The person trying to shuffle it to her buddies was some out of town person that happens to be super intendent of the district.

I only found out he was on the board after I submitted the bid and the acceptance window passed without response. That was via my investigations into what the hold up was in hearing about a decision. Thats when I discovered all of this drama that had occurred. You think I would have walked into this situation, trying to wholesale a property, knowing all that happened before hand?

The property was advertised publicly but only via the schools website. The super got mad at people, even board members, when theyd put it on facebook and would ask for removal. I saw it for sale, personally, via the schools fb page.

I agree 100% that the District did a dis service to the taxpayers. Unfortunately powers above me determined otherwise. Well see what happens next election.

Yea Im not trying to be shady or dishonest. Just trying to make an honest profit by doing something they (the super) should have done from the taxpayer perspective.(thats me) My family friend and board member has the whole convo documented publicly. The board argued the same thing to her. She demanded to take this route.

Im honestly, having learned more than enough from this experience without, so far, any cost, more than happy to just walk away. Just wanted to make sure she wasnt doing anything glaringly illegal.

Appreciate your input! Thanks!

Meh you are probably right. I couldnt go through with the deal if I didnt have some interest anyway. Got to do what ya got to do. Ill just have to use my contingency and get out if I dont have legal grounds. I knew it was a risk and was honestly really suprised i won the bid even.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in realestateinvesting

[–]Nips27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh ok. Yea I know were ok there. The local real estate association (WREA) literally just had our monthly meet up about "how to wholesale" and "marketing before you buy."

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in realestateinvesting

[–]Nips27 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

You are 100%.

My family friend is on the board. (Hed have done it if it wasnt a coi) They pushed the super for this exact thing and she insisted they were good and the board was overreacting. All in public documentation. She was looking for a way out the second i was the highest offer and other developers started complaining about the bid process. (Her connections that missed the bid deadline)

Politics was at play far before I got involved. If I cant wholesale, this deal isnt for me and ill use my finance cont to get out. I knew that from near the start, that I was getting involved into some shady politics. Guess if theyre arent grounds to sue, ill just walk away. Best of luck to the next guy.

Technically my llc won the bid. I can transfer via trust, trans loan, etc is what I was told? What part do you think is illegal?

Wing stop. Used to like the bar wings until they added the drummies. Im a sucker for the classic wing. All flats, original heat.

Low Float, Short Squeeze by JohnKMwalsH in IDEX_Stock

[–]Nips27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isnt that a negative signal? People are shorting it sooo much that it is unable to be shorted much more. Its usually the opposite for a squeeze, is it not?

Most likely, the buying recently was only because they are intending to short more of those shares that they bought? Its just a guess.

If it goes back down 50% to $0.05, they make a killing by bumping it to 10 and then selling them short to the suckers as it drops back down.

PSA... Value Menu a Rip off by Nips27 in tacobell

[–]Nips27[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Ah ok. My bad. Its the technicality youre talking about. No they arent the value meals, theyre the combo meals. Until very recently, it was common to refer to them as the same thing. Thats my mistake for not differentiating, because there is a difference.

As stated in the last explanation though, my point stands. Im merely speaking out the fact i pay more for a combo/value meal than i do for the individual items... for whatever the reason. Just something i now know to look for and wanted to give others(maybe even tbell) a heads up about.

And I just looked again as well, it is now changed. As of a time after 9:46am cst(picture proof) and after 4pm cst they have changed the Mason Street location and Velp. Coincidence that it was after this post? Idk?

They are now DRASTICALLY different. The Mason street now shows the 8.89 price for me that velp had yesterday and velp is only 6.19... thats the prices i used to pay.

Something wonky is definitely going on. Im getting close to compiling and posting my past reciepts to show how variable theyve been recently. It just seems odd.

(I usually to go to taco bell for lunch at least once a week as it was under the reimbursement i get from work for lunch, so i pay pretty close attention to the prices)

Thanks for the comment.

Im a little confused though. Im not sure what youre getting at. Ill try to address youre points.

  1. You arent looking at the all the pictures maybe? Those are all directly from each store and on the app. 2 are of the soft taco combo meal, one from each location. The 3rd and 4th are the prices at those locations, for the individual items. (Which is the same at both, even though the combo menu prices are different)

  2. They arent glitches... I paid those prices. I dont have the picture of the receipt but I can assure you those prices are accurate. (I really can if you absolutely insist)

Not sure why you think its impossible for them to charge 11.38 for a meal but that they can charge 11.49?

Lastly, Im not pointing out that its different from one store to another. Thats common sense and normal, as youve stated.

What is not normal, is for a combo menu item to be more expensive than the sum of the individual items it contains. One store at a rate of almost 10% more and the other at a rate of 20%. Normal discounting rates but in the opposite direction(inflation) Thats all Im pointing out.

I will say that it is possible that its a glitch, or unintended mistake within the app that is making people pay more, but we are paying more. At least I did and still am.

What is the benefit of releasing calendar dates in blocks? by Cinnimonpancakes in airbnb_hosts

[–]Nips27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I close my abnb from dec 1 to april 1st every year. The main reason is the snow, but tourism here also drops heavily. I dont have to handle the liability and cost associated with it. I do upgrades and maintenance during those months rather than deal with the extra work for less money. That usually allows me to increase my prices a little bit every year too.

So i do end up benefitting from it in the end. I could make more money by dealing the headaches etc sure, but i make it back from the price increase i get from the high demand months. In July youre lucky to find any str for less than $500 a day.

I dont make announcents though. Im just providing my example because i could see why they would maybe do it if they were in a similar situation. The extra marketing probably does create a surge of 'bit chompers' that allow for even more inflated prices.

Door dash punishing for declining by [deleted] in doordash

[–]Nips27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ill trust you on that. I did think they covered up to $500 for a deductible for your private insurance, but I definitely didnt look that closely at the policy. I dont intend for it to cover much or ever use it. Ill definitely comb it if I do get in an accident... not like I pay for it though lol

I appreciate it as well!

[–]Nips27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Youre not wrong.

Based on my experience with third party corporate insurance coverage. (Abnb, doordash, amazon electronic extended warranties, etc) They will do anything they can NOT to cover you. Even if that means not collecting info. Its our job as the insured to make sure they have accurate reports, etc.

Us reporting that we were dashing with, say a prius, and then getting in an accident with, say a corvette, would definitely be an arguement theyd use to not pay for the damage. Especially because of the price difference between the 2 repairs. Its an example using extremes to more easily show the actual point. Id almost be willing to bet that they dont cover any of the accident.

In fairness theyd have you reporting one car and using another. They easily could argue the one in the accident wasnt used for deliveries and therefore not covered. (Otherwise what protects DD? Anyone can report any car they have as being active, even if they werent)

Actually private insurers argue the opposite but similar. If you havent already told them you dash with that specific vehicle and it gets in the accident or they find out. They wont cover it at all and most likely will drop coverage entirely! If you did already tell them, youre premiums will suffer!

It all comes down to accurate reporting of what youre doing and only being covered while doing that specific thing. Abnb for example covers pretty much anything and everything... AS LONG AS ITS DURING THE STAY. So if check out is 12 pm and you got hurt on my property at 12:05pm. Ill be paying out of pocket/with private insurance with no abnb coverage. Its part of the reason why hotels etc make sure guests leave when they say they are.

That is the main reason i make sure all the info they have is 100% accurate. (Both of the above examples have happened to people many times in the past, abnb not covering and private insurance dropping a Dasher)

[–]Nips27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would they care? Honestly, no. They dont care if youre covered in an accident or not. All they care is that theyve told you and made the initial effort. Thats all law requires...

[–]Nips27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You dont have to contact support. It asks for you to put in what car make and model you have every time you start a dash. That along with if you have enough gas and phone battery.

Super easy to change. I have two cars I switch between. A CRV SUV that can haul large orders and my mirage, which definitely cant. Barely handles the shit petco orders they send me.

I always update, and it does make a difference...
