Glencore best buy of the year

Two years too late. Would have been a great article to have written in 2016.

So what is everyone doing these days with their savings? Are we still pumping it into the stock markets, or is it about go pop?

Yes there is nothing major going on in the world so no reason why the markets won't keep rising. However did anyone see 2008 coming?

OK Tesla doubters. Who got burned this week on Tesla's share price jump then?

Don't you just love the smell of sizzling short positions in the morning? Doesn't smell like victory though.

So Musk tweets about considering to buy shares back at $420 each, way above current trading price at time of tweet and share price shoots up. Who are the mugs selling now if he is going to guarantee a higher price?

Must be on dodgy ground if he is either:

1. Talking BS to pump the share price to cover the losses Tesla currently incurring.

2. Announcing a share price buy back that can't be met.

Therefore why would he announce the higher price knowing it will cost whoever is funding the buy back a considerably higher amount? It's like when Gordon Brown announced in advance about selling off the UK's gold reserve and not expecting the price to fall beforehand.

Seems quite a public form of insider trading if Musk gains personally from that tweet.

On face value, BUY BUY BUY, you can't lose.

Edited on 14th August: No formal proposal from Musk to the board to take Tesla private.

His 'finance secured at $420/share' tweet was the result of a meeting where Saudi money bought a 5% stake in the company.

At least Saudi women are now, as of this June, able to drive a Tesla. No public human rights image problem at all for Musk to give a fig about. Money talks, freedom walks.

Not this morning it doesn't. The world is finally waking up to the fact that the "genius" Musk is nothing more than a snake oil salesman. Bloody good one, I'll grant you though. Oh, as an aside, you know Solar City, the company that he engineered Tesla to buy from his cousins for $2.6bn? Guess how many of those solar roofs have been sold? 12.

Hargreaves Lansdown Shares

Anyone got any insights or should I just hodl and wait for it to take off for the moon?

Smithson?

How many did you apply for? What's going to happen on opening of trade? I reckon it's going to go to an immediate 15 to 20% premium. Hope so, I applied for fifty grands worth. A nice ten grand profit would be very cool.
