Lol no thanks. I need room for a 100 lbs dog and kid. This model y has more storage than my 4 runner. I also pay 0 dollars to charge (I have solar).

In my specific circumstances model y is perfect.

However, in next 5 years when there are more electric cars available, the Tesla may not be the best choice.

Electric cars to me are like driving a go kart, especially the model y p

Edit: the lol is because of a Miata. Porsche would be great, but Miata?

If you think that the movie was not intended as a criticism of some of the characters, you completely missed the point of the movie.

There are so many scenes that represent this, where characters regret spending their careers at the bank (Stanley Tucci's character talking about building a bridge and implicitly lamenting not spending more time doing something worthwhile, Kevin Spacey's character's speech to his team where he disappointingly assures his team that what they've done has been "for the greater good" when he of course doesn't believe it, Kevin Spacey's character "wishing" that he had spent his time digging trenches so that "at least there'd be some holes in the ground to show for it) where characters get fucked over and discarded (Stanley Tucci's character, Demi Moore's character), and other scenes (e.g. Zachary Quinto's character telling Kevin Spacey's character that his son is "a good person", strongly implying that many of the characters we've seen are not). Not even mentioning all the scenes that are meant to bring out the selfishness, ruthlessness, and greed (As Paul Bettany's character reminded us, "Whatever they do, this firm does not lose money.")

The tonal climax of the movie is Kevin Spacey's character protesting to Jeremy Iron's character about selling their securities and kickstarting the financial collapse during the board meeting. Just look at the scene right after the sale scene where Jeremy Irons's character literally goes through a list of disasters that were arguably caused by shortsightedness and greed, and literally saying something like "we never learn". Some of the best acting I've seen is Jeremy Irons trying to justify what they did, saying something like, "It's just money. It's not wrong". Cut to Kevin Spacey looking absolutely disgusted.

This movie was absolutely a moral indictment of the characters in it, and Kevin Spacey's character represented a protest to Wall Street greed, excess, and myopia. His dog dying represents his own corruption and the death of his conscience and soul, as he realizes he's never going to escape. Trading is absolutely a zero sum game and the movie was a criticism of it and everything Wall Street represents.

Yeah it was predicted by analysts from the start when people started overordering, but greed covered people's eyes as all they saw was golden opportunity to take advantage of supply and demand. Demand destruction will slowly take out the morons who took out loans to order excess supply, then the big corporates will start having problems selling too(eg. Samsung missing this hard). That's how we know we're on track for another global recession.

The drop in OI is the result of investors closing their long calls, not market makers closing their short calls. Just look at the volume and price action on 01/26 (indicative of increased demand for calls, not increased supply of calls). That volume created a surge in OI, which then reverted back the next day. Market makers don't care, they are gamma and delta neutral (hedged).
