    I was close to getting a few when it dipped under 14 but held off because of announced strikes that have gotten worse since. Still room to fall more I think.

    Traffic is up 4% regardless of the strikes.

    Cleaner than a zero emissions car powered up by 100% renewables? I don't think so :p

    In Norway only full EVs are allowed to be sold from 2025. That's just 6 years away. The Netherlands the year after. All other countries will follow.


    Companies that will be able to recover and recycle batteries could be a bet

    Maybe, maybe not. Quite likely car manufacturers will mostly do this themselves. Nissan and Renault already do. And Tesla sells the power wall. Lucrative market for home attached electricity storage.

    Risky area too, when or if there is a breakthrough in battery technology the old tech batteries could be worth a lot less quite quickly. That might happen tomorrow, or it might not happen for several decades...

    For over 10 years I've been reading about how this new amazing battery technology will completely revolutionise things and it's only 2-3 years away from being market ready. So far it hasn't happened. Most improvements in battery technology have been incremental no real big bangs that completely blow everything else out of the water. I'd love to see it happen but I can't see it changing any time soon.

    Like I said, it could happen now, or it mightn't happen for decades. Risky to gamble either way...

    Was looking at Tencent recently but wasn't able to buy. Do you need to buy in lots of 100 on the HK exchange on Degiro?

    Bought a measly two shares in Apple a few months back and am sitting on nearly 100 quid profit. Raging I didn't buy a few more but they are so damn pricey.

    When Forest Gump came out around 1994, his Apple shares gave him $95million and people watching at the time thought 'wow he made a load of money'. If he held and sold them today it'd be well over $8 Billion !

    But they're doing nothing, just so many idiots willing to throw away a grand for a phone made for a couple hundred....if that.

    Surely these idiots are gonna cop on eventually?

    Maybe they will, maybe they won't. Too risky for me to pick either gamble.

    I am really surprised that google and amazon are didn't reach the 1tn before apple. There is so much more scope in the other 2 with integration into so many businesses all over the world.
    Amazon are going to be the new IBM with AWS - will have a ton of companies by the balls in a few years.

    Anyone thinking about the implications of Amazon moving into the health space?
    First fulfill prescriptions and delivery to your door; then just produce a few generic medications/medical devices themselves! There's rich pickings to be had considering the margins which pharma/medical device companies enjoy.

    My shares in Wallgreens dropped 10% on this news but have recovered almost all of it back now. They say that physical premises is very important in their business . Even so I'll sell them after the dividend in a few weeks and take my profit elsewhere.

    I have shares in Teva (generics) but I think these are safe for a few years :)

    I would think it could be as much as 10-15 years....based on what I can gather (admittedly very limited info) about the development of graphene and other 2D materials for energy storage.

    I doubt the shield has sold well enough to have any effect on their share price.

    Yup he just distracted people from the problems yesterday just like the surfboard before earnings, all a pr stunt.
    He's goosed if the share price doesn't hold at these levels.

    $EKSO has crazy upside potential at the moment.
    Ford starting to roll out the suits in their factories along with Boeing testing them too.

    With those big firms on board, only a matter of time until other big manufacturers start to put orders in too.

    Not to mention the potential in the medical field with veterans and such.
