Maybe a good time to risk 20k from HELOC to bump up the TFSA….
 
My wife was smart. She collected 660 bmo shares during her 42 yrs with the bank. They have nowhere to go but up. I have a nice nestegg.
 
CPI numbers better than expected this morning, up we go!
 
~1 year borrow to invest update. All dividends used to pay off loan. Unrealized cap gain of ~7%. Loan ~8% paid off. So 15% return using none of my money (but obviously assuming the risk). Some tax due on some of the dividends used to pay off the loan so after tax return will be less.
 
Too much is being made of the Twitter financing impact on the Tesla stock price. Basically a left wing media obsession to have a new bogeyman.

Tesla stock has been over inflated for years and I did enjoy the way up, however its stock value at its peak was greater than the VW Group and Toyota combined was way too optimistic.

Now that the mainstream Auto companies are producing electric cars at great losses to meet governments impossible but realistically aspirational mandate of 50% of sales volumes, all car makers are on high gear now to get into the electric cars in a big way at tremendous cost to profitability.

Tesla is in a position to move down market with other factories coming on stream in Mexico.
The concern I have is the slow product evolution the Model S and others have changed very little.
 
Yes, there are plenty of reasons behind the Tesla crash:
- Elmo's antics (and there's been no shortage)
- Legal criticism of "full self driving"
- Troubles in China
- Endless delays for new product introductions
- Model S and X have looked ~the same for a long time. Model year 2023 is year 12 for Model S and they all look the same!
- New competition coming from all segments ...
- They've still got a reputation for being expensive and time-consuming to repair
- TSLA has been stupidly overvalued for a long time and there is a fair argument that it's still overvalued at today's price.

VW, GM, and Ford are going to be making money on EVs. Yes, there's going to be capital costs to absorb, but after that, the opportunities for platform-sharing and component-sharing between models are money in the bank. And it gets the government emission regulators off their backs. Euro 7? EPA/CARB Tier 3? Don't care any more. EV makes those upcoming standards "somebody else's problem".

Disclaimer: I own some MG. It's up today.
