What happened to that battery that Tesla talked about?

They did a major announcement and then nothing after that.

 

[noskey]

Which one? The Powerwall? My guess is that most batteries won't actually see deliveries until the Gigafactory is up and running.

 

[noskey]

Solar Roof was pretty cool, looks nice. Depending on pricing (which I'm guessing is what's coming out Tuesday), it could be a hit for sunny states. Powerwall 2 looks promising as well. As expected, nothing mind blowing, but the roof was very well done imo.

I'm loving the fall of FIT + GPRO + eventually GRUB

I know I have no room to talk as a TWTR shareholder, but the above companies are garbage stocks from the 2.0 bubble. No thanks.

Haven't been in here in a while, took a fall with UA and TSLA recently, nice to see Starbucks beat earnings.

Two big questions. How much is a good amount to start with for stocks? $500 or is that too low? And second, do you guys think the economy is gonna go down and might not be a good idea to get into stocks?

^ You need to do your research before you jump in, even if it's with $500.

No one can guess where the economy goes. That's the definition of "projections."

1. $500 is fine, you should start with an amount that you're okay losing.

2. Don't let the economy scare you, always money to be made in any environment. What is your plan?

Open a practice account on like Yahoo or Investopedia or somewhere. Read read read read. Read as much as you can about valuation, chart patterns, passive vs active management, how to research industries as a whole, etc. Go to your local bookstore and pick up some books from Burton Malkiel and Benjamin Graham.

It's a lot of work to know what you're doing. If you think the markets will improve over 2017 then put your money into an S&P index ETF. It should mirror the moves of the market, and you're not paying too much in management fees.

Just take that $500 and light it on fire

[wizards23]

Td has great software but 9.95 commission. Maybe they will lower them. Besides that I like td

 

[goldenchild9]

TD is great but their commission is a little high.

[johnnyredstorm]

Think or swim for software find better commissions elsewhere

Had a couple grand in dividends in my account. Bought some Smith & Wesson about a month back. I had seen a chart of their stock's run during Obama's presidency and bet on Hilary winning the election so that those good times could hopefully continue. As you can see, I don't apply much thought to the stocks I purchase. Go Hilary!
