Rivian Q3 results have arrived! Revenues dipped below $1B/quarter for the first time since 2023, and gross margins got even worse to negative 45%. The company is still guiding for positive gross margins in Q4 2024 which would be a major win for the company, and I'd be extremely impressed if they hit. My biggest concern when looking at the stock is the sharecount is increasing at an accelerating pace. Up to 1,014M shares in Q3, up 6.5% in just a year. This could accelerate if the share price doesn't go up, causing a dilution spiral.

Airbnb Q3 2024 results are hot off the press! Revenue grew 10% to $3.7B (all time high), and the company is planning to launch 1-2 new $1B+ revenue businesses next year, and every year going forward. On the conference call Brian Chesky kept comparing Airbnb today to Amazon when they were selling just books. Chesky sees the company expanding well beyond travel into new products and services. This will mean investments in growth will ramp next year. Airbnb is moving to be on offense and growth mode, and exciting inflection point. Let me know what you think in the comments below! $ABNB

Donald Trump has just won the US Presidential election. Tesla stock is up 15% to its highest level in more than a year. What does this new American era mean for Tesla investors? A lot of the regulatory scrutiny (FSD, Elon's Pay Package) seems like it will go away. The regulatory approval path for FSD / Cybercab got way easier. And mainly, I think investors are just hyped because it means Elon and Tesla will be left alone to execute on their massive vision. There will be volatility, and it's way to early to tell how this will all play out. But things are shaping up to be a very bright future if Elon can work well with the new Trump administration.

Interview with Amit (aka ‪@amitinvesting‬ ), where we discuss Palantir's valuation and growth prospects, I pitch him on Airbnb stock, we talk about Tesla's Optimus bot, the upcoming election effect on markets and finally on Robinhood stock. It was a blast to scheme with Amit, who does livestreams on his channel for the market open. He has also become the voice of retail shareholders for Robinhood and Palantir and interviewed both CEOs. Give him a follow!

Tesla stock soared 21% today after a monster Q3 earnings beat. It was a big day for the portfolio. But something wasn't right ... I was still stressing because of my Airbnb options position. So I had to make the tough call to sell my options for a small gain and roll the position into plain, old, boring Airbnb equity. A prudent move in the long term I believe, and one that will serve my sanity. I realize I've been flip flopping like crazy with options, but that is what it is. Cheers to a good day in the portfolio I guess .... This was episode 8 of G 2 a Milly. Day 296. Portfolio worth $29,503. Disclaimer: Nothing in this show is financial advice. I'm long Tesla, Airbnb and Coinbase and my positions may change at anytime.

With US election just two weeks away, tensions are heating up. This could drive significant market volatility in the short term. I wanted to hop on to explain my take on the recent events with Elon Musk supporting Donald Trump so publicly and how that could impact the stock, depending on the election results. Then I dive into my Airbnb options bet and long term thesis for the company. Let me know your thoughts! This is the 7th installment of G 2 a Milly, where I open-source building my portfolio. This is 294 days in, with a value of $27.686.

Farzad Mesbahi comes on the channel to discuss Tesla's 10/10 event, the Cybercab, Robovan, Optimus and potentially something even bigger that the company didn't reveal on 10/10 ... a new affordable Tesla model that is set to enter production sometime in the first half of 2025. We also discuss Tesla's plans to launch an unsupervised full self driving service in California and Texas sometime in 2025, and how that rollout could play out. Then we dive into the progress Tesla has shown with Optimus and if that may hit the market before Cybercab. Finally, we discuss the upcoming US presidential election and the potential impacts that could have on Tesla with Elon's support of Donald Trump. I had a BLAST with this discussion, huge shoutout to Farzad for coming on the show!

Tesla's 10/10 We, Robot event in Los Angeles, CA looked insane. After just watching the livestream, my FOMO is pumping. The haters will say the timeline is slow, but we just saw the future. Mini Cybertruck robotaxis, Cybercabs, and Robovans ... Optimus robots walking around the party and serving drinks. When will we see Tesla's first autonmous ride like Waymo ... that is still TBD. Sounding like 2025 from the event. Let me know what you think in the comments!! I own Tesla stock, nothing in this show is financial advice.

EVs are more like computers than cars. Early data is showing they can last 500,000+ miles, much further than the legacy gas cars they are disrupting. This is setting the state for an unprecedented change in the transportation economy, where ride sharing and autonomy become the norm over individual car ownership. With Waymo expanding rapidly, and Tesla on the cusp of a major self-driving announcement on 10/10, things are heating up ... This video is my conversation with the Founder and CEO of Amber, Joe Pak. He has a front row seat to the electric + autonomous revolution. Amber is building a quasi-insurance/warranty service specifically for EVs (or robots on wheels). Amber basically offers healthcare to your electric car or robot.The startup has just expanded its EV extended warranty products for Teslas, from 11 to 47 states. The company continues to expand rapidly and you can find the latest on their website.

The G 2 a Milly series continues!! Your boy is getting lucky, right now the portfolio is up 24.5% vs 11.7% for the S&P in the same period. In this episode I give an update on my thoughts on Tesla (and how I've been buying since the last portfolio update), and my favorite new stock, Airbnb! I go deep on my love for Airbnb as a customer and why I think Brian Chesky is such a unique founder and why Airbnb may be still in its very early days. Let me know your feedback! It felt great to brush off the haters and give y'all an update!! Email me questions to [email protected] and I'll answer them for the show!!

Tesla's earnings are hot off the press! Revenue of $25.5B (+2.3%) and profits of $1.6B. On the earnings call CEO Elon Musk stressed the importance of FSD, and how its set to transform Tesla's business. He confirmed the Robotaxi unveiling will be on 10/10, and provided an update on Optimus, saying it will begin Version 1 production in 2025, and Version 2 production to outside customers in 2026. Overall the call was a little boring. We are in a quiet/chill period for Tesla until 2025 when the cheaper model & robotaxi launch. I think a big catalyst may be brewing with another OEM licensing Tesla's FSD. What are your thoughts on the quarter??
