"A sales manager at Manhattan Ford in New York City, the only Ford dealership actually owned by the automaker, at first denied there was a Focus EV, and then said it couldn’t be leased. Both statements are incorrect."
Wow.

AAPL beat as well, and also ZNGA. AAPL also just announced a 7 for 1 split and a $130B capital return program. iPad sales came in under expectations, but iPhone sales exceeded expectations.A really nice beat by FB, although the stock price not necessarily reflecting this AH. Still, can't hurt for tomorrow
On balance, I'm guessing we should be higher tomorrow.
yep - Apple was a firm beat too; AH not registering (market is in a foul mood lately)- but nevertheless, this will only help swage the-sky-is-falling attitude
adding $30B to buy back and adding $10B to coffers this quarter. Healthy Y/Y growth-
I think the stock is halted trading for the split-
this and the FB beat should give a nice boost and precursor for thursday's big ER day. In addition, it will help at least provide a mix view even if those tomorrow are not up to par... all good news from this corner

AAPL trading is halted for the moment. It's going to resume at 16:45 (in less than 5 min.)
But yeah, I'm disappointed by the action in FB. I guess the bar was very high to begin with, and the "surprise" was priced in.
Update: AAPL jumped!
It's coming from all the places which we all always knew it would come: corporate doesn't really truly want to sell EVs, because they make their bread and butter on ICE. Dealerships don't want to sell EVs, because they make their money on service. Corporate won't make EVs because dealers want them to keep making cars they can service. Dealers don't know anything about EVs because there's little incentive to know anything about their cars anyway, except for what helps them sell the cars, and EVs are different so they can't just check the window sticker to tell you about them. Most of them haven't lived with one, either, so they can't give you the insight an owner can give you.
It's not a directive so much as a confluence of factors, most of which have to do with institutional inertia. It takes a lot of work to right a massive ship, and that's what the auto industry is. It's obvious that the companies which are taking it more seriously fare better, of course. But there's no one person telling them to screw up in this instance, it's everything all put together. And that's what we all knew would be the case all along, and why the Tesla sales method needed to be different.
that's an understatement- up 7-8% AH to $560 area; got to help us TSLAites tomorrow (market drag);
(not to mention I'm holding a healthy load of APPL LEAPS waiting for this to finally happen)
Yeah, I'm hoping that they can really move the NASDAQ. Short interest in AAPL is at a high and so there may be a short squeeze. I bought AAPL options right before ER today and while those are great, I am also hoping for spill over to other NASDAQ stocks and get us out of the funk we've been in for a while.
Stupid question (by me) regarding Shorts and motives:
If AAPL and FB beat expectations, would Shorts --- who previously had their attention ($) on AAPL and FB --- now turn their attention ($) on TSLA.
In the short run, TSLA feels vulnerable to me.
Long TSLA since 2010

I think it's only a matter of time until Putin officially sends troops over the border to protect the local population from the Ukrainian fascists.
Like you, I also think this is why the market is trending down despite the stellar earnings announced yesterday.
It has nothing to do with Ukraine, the broader S&P500 is up, Nasdaq is up as well.

Hmm. You're right, it seems unlikely the market decided all of a sudden Ukraine is all fine and dandy.
Unfortunately, it can still turn ugly if things seriously escalate over there.
Nothing? This morning, it certainly did. VIX and VXX spiked and selling was heavy across the board. Things have recovered in the last hour as buyers waded in.
