I'm not a business or finance professional (I'm a nurse). And one of the biggest takeaways I have from these stories is that, if you can create a company and get people to invest, you can pay yourself a high salary during the (presumably limited) lifetime of the company. And even if it's a total fraud or will never be viable, it won't matter because you're able to give yourself a high salary while the company is "alive", and you can live a lavish lifestyle. It's that simple. It all seems to hinge on the investors. I suppose PT Barnum was correct after all.

@@jonathantaylor6926 More importantly, Amazon clearly generated revenue with provable sales. In the core segment’s of it’s business Amazon generated a profit. It used those profits to fund expansion and prop up unprofitable areas. Unlike a lot of these businesses Amazon was not funded exclusively through Venture Capital, Stock shares and loans. Those supplemental it’s revenue. Bezos could also show plausible and (largely met) timelines for when the areas he was expanding into would show profits. Thus allowing him to fund further expansion. People tend to forget that mail order was a proven business model. Once Bezos showed there was a large segment of the market willing and able to use the internet in place of paper catalogs, Amazon was set. There is a reason people over a certain age think of Amazon as the Sears and Roebuck of the 21st century (hell, if someone at Sears had a little imagination back in the 90s Sears could have been Amazon a decade before Amazon).

New car companies are hard enough to get profitable. (Forgot the statistic) Let alone an EV company with unproven technology? Yeah, those who invested were asking for it. Basically gambling with a hope, and a prayer. Then again they are likely filthy rich, and the odds outweigh the risk? Even then I feel like shorting it is the better option statistically. I was told always focus on manufacturing when it comes to new car companies unless they are high end. If they don't have answers on how they reduced price or how parts weren't designed to be streamlined then don't bother. Ease of manufacturing is what separates a Tesla from a Lucid. I am an EV person too. In a decade or 15 they will outperform ICE in everything, but long distance non stop travel. Which is very niche.

We are not talking about small improvements; we are talking about doubling your cell phone battery capacity. We are talking about doubling the range of BEVs and hydrogen-electric vehicles around the world.” You should have shorted NKLA. You didn't. (Neither did I.) This outright battery lie is just one of the topics covered in the brutal Hindenburg Research report on Nikola, "How to Parlay An Ocean of Lies Into a Partnership With the Largest Auto OEM in America."

_spage's law_: EV startups can lose $millions a month promising to enter volume production "soon," or they can actually start cranking out vehicles and immediately lose $100M+ a quarter. Aptera, Canoo, Einride, ElectraMeccanica, Faraday Future, Mullen (total scammers), Nikola (back to promising HFC production after the battery Tre fiasco), Phoenix Motors, REE, XOS, etc. are all in this zombie state. Lucid and Rivian exited it, but they had $billions in cash. Fisker tried to avoid it by paying Magna to build cars but that didn't work. RIP Arcimoto, Arrival, Bollinger, Coda (I have a long memory!), Electric Last Mile, Lightning eMotors, Lightyear, Lordstown Motors, Proterra, Smith Electric, Sono, Volta, Workhorse Group, etc.; all bankrupt or have abandoned electric vehicle manufacturing, and of those I think only Proterra and Smith Electric manufactured hundreds of vehicles.

If it's less than ~$300M, the company very likely isn't going to survive, because making vehicles takes huge amounts of real money. In MULN's case, it still hasn't released its financial results for April-June 2024 (red flag!); meanwhile from its confusingly-numbered "Q2 2024" financial report: "We had total cash (including cash equivalents and restricted cash) of $29.8 million at March 31, 2024, versus $155.7 million at Sept. 30, 2023." That's a joke, and it's even worse because "restricted cash" is money that is held for a specific purpose and thus not available to the company for immediate or general business use; MULN's cash and cash equivalents were only $22M in March 2024. It's a case of when, not if, Mullen goes bust.

Excellent as always. A couple things maybe worth mentioning in these SPAC companies: The SPAC promoter gets rich either way with the free shares. It would be nice to start calling out these SPAC promoters and doing a side note on their other SPAC companies performance. Shorting these doomed to fail SPACs usually isn’t possible because the borrow fee is so high and often low volume, not very many shares available to short, illiquid options. So it just gets to burn down and not many make money on that downwards move. Lastly, would be interesting to summarize the total sales value of the main insider holders like the promoter, mgmt, PIPE, etc: to show why these broken worthless companies were ever brought public.

In my opinion shorting a stock is a terrible idea for a retail investor and often it’s a bad idea for people highly experienced and trained to do it. The market has a long history of irrational valuations and shorting a stock isn’t so much about knowing it’s a bad stock it’s about timing when it will crash and until it starts to your risk has no ceiling because the company can potentially grow to any size and in a bubble it often will. I think Bill Ackerman failing to short Herbalife despite it being a transparent scam is a great example, and that’s a billionaire hedge fund manager failing to short an obvious scam. I’m not saying it’s always gonna fail or it’s always a bad idea, just that it’s incredibly risky for retail investors when investing at that level really doesn’t have to be.

5:10 imagine you successfully invented a solid state rechargable battery, and instead of choosing to become a the world's richest person by selling batteries, you instead choose to keep the tech solely for your car startup 😂 who does this guy think he was fooling?

I think I still have one share of this company in my Robinhood account. XD I think I lost 5 dollars on these guys. Great video to see the downfall.

When I saw the Mullen SUV at the Los Angeles Auto Show I fell in love. I mean it. Go look at the graceful hips for the rear wheels. The most graceful body ever. Too bad.

I am thinking about designing a Yugo type of EV featuring this black box, powered it all by a 9 volt battery located under the driver's seat. It will also double as a heater for the driver 😅 Y'all got some millions to invest? Daddy needs a new plane lol

EVs are a lot easier to manufacture than ICE. If EVs are ever a profitable product then the major manufacturers will swamp the market.

EVs are already profitable for Tesla, and even before it was making a profit, it had positive gross margins on ieach of its car models within a year of them starting production. Most legacy manufacturers are unwilling to invest the $billions to make lots of EVs at a small profit,, so they will continue to lag behind Tesla and the Chinese EV makers.
