Dang, didn't realize they were still around! Motors in the wheels, genius design. Also didn't GM briefly have a stake in them? Pretty sure they suddenly bailed at a large loss years ago after accepting paper for the plant and announcing co-development.

At least one truck successfully made it out of the barn:

Lordstown Motors Prototype Electric Truck Burned To The Ground In Testing

A Lordstown Motors Endurance electric pickup mule conducting testing—ahead of a small production run by the end of this year—burned to a crisp at the side of the road on January 13th in Farmington Hills outside of Detroit, Michigan. “We’re confident” this won’t happen again, Ryan Hallett...

Those look like fun graphs. Is all of that data public?

This reminds me of when I looked at mountain houses about a year into COVID and all the listings included the Airbnb income and the price was always something like 5x+ the inflated year 1 of COVID airbnb income, and yet, they got snapped up quickly.

Anecdotal observation but had a meeting with a FB employee today and at the end of the Zoom meeting he revealed his workplace and it now reminds me of the offices in the stock rooms like in Wolf of Wall Street. Looks crammed and sounds like he’s in the office 5 days a week. Granted he just started 4 weeks ago. So I don’t know who are or were these ppl snapping up such locations working remotely.

They’re all being told to come back to the office because managers were reminded that most people are lazy and can’t be trusted to work unsupervised

Staying invested, portfolio seemed to have almost caught back up since 2022. But there seems to be a lot of noise and headwind still. JPMorgan noted that a recession is still likely albeit a small one. CRE seems unstable coupled with easy money and companies with poor balance sheets today. Nevertheless, I am wondering if "slow and steady" would help mitigate any further volatility i.e., 60/40 flip to 40/60 stock and bonds now ahead of second half of 2023 and into 2024. Especially now that said portfolio is almost breakeven.

I recall reading about risk tolerance being more including attitude and capacity. In other words, if said portfolio will support post-retirement, then, it may not be necessary to take on more risk to achieve a desired out come even if other factors point to staying the course e.g., long-term time horizon, high risk appetite.

Was in the office last Thursday when a ton of sales people came in. Those people need some help selling as I could have done better and I am finance/accounting...

As for allocation changes, people were craving that sweet 5% yield on bonds last year and shifted then the market came back this year double digits. Trying to keep my fun car fund from turning into a pool fund after my wife saw it.

The “art” itself seems a kind of foreshadowing?
