I’ve watched Tesla’s stock tumble this week amid news of BYD’s aggressive push into autonomous driving—a move that’s rattled investors. But before writing off Elon Musk’s EV giant, let’s dissect why this dip might be less about Tesla’s weaknesses and more about the hypercompetitive industry. BYD’s decision to roll out its autonomous driving feature, God’s Eye, across all models—including its $10,000 Seagull hatchback—is undeniably disruptive. By bundling advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) into affordable cars, BYD is commoditizing technology that Tesla currently monetizes as a premium add-on (Full Self-Driving, or FSD, costs $12,000 upfront or $199/month). This could pressure Tesla’s pricing power in markets like China, where BYD already outsells Tesla. However, the immediate impact

$TIGR 20250221 7.0 PUT$ Decided to take profit, it was a 9 day contract so I could have waited, but I think sometimes in trading we have to learn not to be too greedy or at least follow and stick to our own investment philosophies. I have a lot of stocks I missed out by taking profit too early or not enough profit. Like I sold CHEWY at 16 dollars would you believe it? But anyways 50% is good enough for me, maybe I'll re-enter at another junction but for now this is the profit I'm more than happy to take. If it falls more I wouldn't even mind missing ou on that profit.

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ Nvidia VS Intel realities Once again, we are right about the misinformation and manipulation related to DeepSeek. We have anticipated and corrected that DeepSeek isn’t a threat and was full of misinformation. Here we also seek to provide clarity to the recent misinformation: JD Vance’s comments JD Vance, despite being the Vice President, does not have the authority to govern AI decisions at the White House. JD Vance stated that the U.S. will safeguard American artificial intelligence technologies from “theft and misuse” by adversaries. However, the perspective driving Intel’s recent surge is actually directed at OpenAI, not Intel, particularly in response to allegations that Deepseek was traine
