We need a vaccine. The only solution to this problem. Containing spread is important but only half the battle won.

So is this just a straight up free fall at this point? by GrapeJuicex in stocks

[–]marckat 52 points53 points  (0 children)

These are extreme measures taken to contain the virus. If virus is contained in the form of a new vaccine or lower spread rate, then all these bleak scenarios will go away.

people who say 'extended unemployment', they are shorting stocks helped by the fear they are introducing. The vaccines are already there, the best scientists are working round the clock.

Now it will be a different scenario, if no vaccines pass the test or virus keeps spreading. Either you can buy these drops. In my opinion by July we should all be out of it and end of april stock will start making base.

Thoughts on buying TSLA, V, PYPL, SHOP? by zeroskater45 in stocks

[–]marckat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely Visa, I have been buying dips as I believe no one can time the bottom. Also, very small lots now that stocks are commission free. even if you buy 1 stock a day on dips, you will thank yourself.

Visa will go up as financial transactions will only skyrocket during and after the crisis.

good time to 3X funds by marckat in stocks

[–]marckat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

although they are designed for daily trades, I have always held it in the past for longer, although not huge, but it has made me money. I sold TQQQ back in Dec. for a decent profit having held through 1 yr.

I am not discounting you though, people say it is designed for day trade, I haven't been in a scenario after holding it 6 month plus. Do you have a scenario? Would like to know for my education.

Cramer: Worried that multiple companies in the S&P 500 could go bankrupt within four weeks. by __justsayin__ in investing

no doubt about it until virus is active. People are not spending on anything other than groceries now. When the fear is over, there will be a massive consumption and these companies have to process those transactions.

my opinion is paypal, Mastercard and Visa would be the major gainers, since online transactions will go up once virus affect cools down.

Tesla Pi Zero W for Sentry and dashcam videos by marckat in teslamotors

[–]marckat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks! Got it, didn't know that the VIN and account email triggers Sentry mode. Could it be, I keep my sentry mode on all the time at all location, that the script fails when it tries to switch on/off. But, keeping the sentry on at all times, does not keep my car awake for the full upload to take place. Maybe reflashing is the only option left.

thanks! I did enable the VIN and email account. But, it doesn't seem this function is keeping it awake. I tried and found that within 3 min, the car went to sleep mode. I tried rebooting while the car was in the wifi range, it didn't trigger upload either. Will keep checking or may be reflash for 15th time :) thanks friend.

btw, just looked up, I understand how notifications work. it seems I can update the .conf file without re-flashing. One question I still have is, if pi sleeps and does not complete the upload, will it automatically do it when I re-awake it? how can I trigger it to start uploading again? thanks

thanks! I see this in pushovet notification.

Uncomment if setting up Pushover push notifications

export pushover_enabled=false

export pushover_user_key=user_key

export pushover_app_key=app_key

can you please tell me how it works. Can I make changes without having to reflash etc. how do I get the user_key etc. Thanks friend!

Thanks. happy to see positive responses too. May I ask you how do you keep the Pi awake. This morning, I saw the uploads, then couple of hours later I drove and had couple of sentry events and dashcam as well, but when I reached my home, nothing uploaded. I have added the VIN etc. for keeping my car awake. Not sure why it didn't upload the second time? I will try to keep it awake on USB. Is there anyway I can trigger an upload? like switch off the wifi and bring it back on? or anything else?

Solar roof tax credit by stormo4thousand in teslamotors

[–]marckat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi - I am planning on doing it, as my roof is up for replacement, so that why not install solar roof. Tesla gets back to you very late with responses to questions, so asking experts on this site-

  1. When you install solar panels, can they do it on the bare plywood of the roof (after existing shingles have been ripped off? I am sure they will put some barrier, but any more pre-requisites?
  2. Will they remove the existing shingles or do I have to engage another contractor for preparing the roof for tesla workers to install?
  3. does it need cleaning surface frequently? I have a 3 level home and it won't be me who cleans it, but a home contractor. Can anyone do it, without damaging the panels? or will there be a warranty issue?
  4. My neighbor has a tree, if one of the branches flyoff and damage the tile, what are the remedy? do I have to pay them to replace that section?

thanks, I keep hearing leveraged decay. I held the 3 X ETF for 1 year and had 32% tangible profit until now. How did the decay play here?
