    as an extreme example if Remdemsivir cures 100% of all Covid-19 cases, halfway through the trial, they would have enough data to show a net positive benefit. They don't need to fin…

    yes but, if in a trial, if one arm performs substantially different than the control arm (e.g. 50% or even 100% lower death rate), the large difference between arms can lead to inv…

    by that logic, the 1st email was "leaked" intentionally? The 1st leaked email about burning cash over 10 months, causing the stock to crash even more "where there's a will there's …

    Maybe the 1st email was leaked intentionally, according to your logic? The 1st leaked email about burning cash over 10 months How convenient that email leaked when the stock price …

    Agree. Do you think price is the limiting factor for lackluster demand? Maybe if they can make model 3 cheaper than 35k demand will rise

    Wait where are the links to these analysts? The original post and every article online is citing Elon's email Sensational headlines declaring Elon says Tesla will die, are headline…

    that graphic is simple and naive Here is an 60-minute interview, in 1999. The journalist/expert made the same argument as in your graphic, that a software company is overvalued bec…
