August 25, 2018 11:44 - 33 minutes - 25.9 MBAt 11PM EST on a Friday night last night, Elon Musk announced in a blog post that the company would be staying public.

Quoth the Raven #56 - Tesla's Q2 2018 Earnings: The Good and the Bad
August 02, 2018 23:48 - 31 minutes - 26.6 MBIn this podcast, I review the good and the bad from Tesla's Q2 earnings in the most objective way I possibly can. Tesla reported a Q2 that was mostly in line with expectations of a financial wreck. The silver lining (for now) was Elon Musk' behavior, an answer about a Wells Notice and a story-line that the company is keeping in tact. I do my best to be objective and explain why Tesla is rallying post-earnings and what it could mean for investors in the short and long term. QTR Podcasts are ...
