NEW GAME: If you could only pick one stock for 2023

[CHEEZY17]

I'm going to take something plain vanilla, give me Costco.

Costco has been one of my best performers. Its solid. It probably wont win you the competition but its a solid stock all around.

does the market think Trump will get elected and pull back all of these "green" incentives that Biden has pushed?

i believe they lowered their margins thinking it would drive unit volume and it didn't really work. i have a tesla and its a great car. i will definitely be a buyer around 160. long term i dont think there is a better brand in that space and when the rest of the world can start using tesla charging it will get new revenue but i think it will hurt their unit sales again.

I wonder how long Tesla remains a "car" company. I see them as Amazon like in that they will diversify and become a data company more than anything else. I believe they are looking to get into robotics heavily as well. I like them much more for the long term rather than the next 6-24 months.

Musk has two options when it comes to innovation. Tesla and SpaceX. Tesla is owned by shareholders and is basically his bank. Musk owns about 13% of Tesla shares. And SpaceX is owned by him personally and some private investors. Musk owns about 40% of SpaceX.

It would seem logical that Musk would be much more incentivized to move anything new and profitable into SpaceX instead of Tesla. Musk denies any plans to take SpaceX, including Starlink, public any time soon.

He's been quoted in the media lately that he needs more shares to do some of the things he wants to do with Tesla.

i read an article a few weeks ago that he said that he needs more skin in the game to stay interested in Tesla. So they would need to come up with a compensation deal to give him more shares. But we are talking about a LOT of shares. That article was sort of what got me to wondering why he would want to grow Tesla with any new ideas if he could just use SpaceX instead.

If SpaceX ever goes public I'm buying a shit load.

Nah you can have it, I wanted to change it up anyhow. I'm leaning towards AMD but chances are I'll change my mind before feb 1.

We should include Disco, just in case she stops by. Since someone has already stolen her GIS stock, I looked around for a suitable replacement. I have decided on

RICK - Rick's Cabaret or actually known as RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc., through its subsidiaries, operates strip clubs, nightclubs, sports bars/restaurants, and a media and convention company that serves the adult club industry. RCI went public with an IPO in 1995 is listed on The NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol RICK.

There are not many remaining to hear from. If we don't hear from them, I will just put them each down for the same as last year.

The last I heard, SaltyDog was looking into either 21 Pineapples



Or John's Crazy Socks
