A recent $Amazon(AMZN.US)$ test of a $Rivian Automotive(RIVN.US)$ electric van showed that the battery's performance is below the EV startup's claims.
According to the report, the battery drained 40% faster than usual if the van's heating or cooling was on. Rivian said in its prospectus that the all-electric delivery vans would have a range between 120 miles and 150 miles, depending on size.
Rivian shares fell 8.2% to 118.11 on Monday. RIVN stock rose 67% in the first few days after its IPO, to 129.95. But shares closed down 1% last week after a wild ride.
Among other EV stocks, China-based  $XPeng(XPEV.US)$ edged up 1.1% after briefing reclaiming a buy range intraday.  $NIO Inc(NIO.US)$surged 7.3%, while $Li Auto(LI.US)$ advanced 1.9%.
Among U.S. automakers,  $Lucid Group(LCID.US)$ reversed opening gains and dropped 8.2%,  $General Motors(GM.US)$ rose 3.7% and Ford (F) was up 5.4%. U.S.-traded shares of Germany's $VOLKSWAGEN A G(VWAGY.US)$ dipped 0.4%.
It seems that there are formidable enemies everywhere.
Do you think RIVN is ready to compete in the EV battlefield?

Q&A is a session under a company's earnings conference that institutional and retail investors ask some most-concerned questions to the management. On this page, you may find out some valuable info that might affect the stock price in the following weeks. $Sea(SE.US)$
Key Takeaways:
Attitudes: the management is optimistic about Shopee's long-term growth.
Goals: the company changed guidance for gaming to focus on long-term growth.
Products: the company continues to grow Free Fire MAX with higher resolution and more features than Free Fire.
On the gaming side, you have not changed your guidance. And based on your nine months' results, it's indicating that the gaming portfolio is going to be declining in the fourth quarter despite the launch of Free Fire MAX. Is there any trends that make you guide this way?
We believe our game guidance given the beginning of the year has been a very strong guidance in terms of monetization given the comp versus last year. And the overall size of the game portfolio we have already achieved and scaling up so rapidly over the course of a few years. So I think it's very important for us to also focus on solidifying our user base and our game content and pipeline and capabilities, to focus on long-term growth and long-term maximization of the potential of the Free Fire platform and IP as well as the diversification of our genres across a further stronger spectrum.
With the Free Fire quarterly addition of active user slowdown to single digit in the third quarter, will this suggest more or less saturated penetration of Free Fire user TAM? Or will there be room for further reaccelerated with more new games launch?
We've enjoyed a very strong growth, and Free Fire being one of the largest mobile games perhaps in history so far, and we continue to see strong user base. In fact, if we look at our metrics across the board, they have improved not only year on year, but also quarter-on-quarter. So going forward, we're looking to sustain our existing strong user base in the existing markets and explore new growth opportunities in markets that we haven't deeply penetrated especially with the launch of Free Fire MAX and new features. We are further focused on building out our strong IP and platform.
Free Fire MAX was launched in late September. So could you give us some insights on user engagement? How is that option and time spent? How different is it from Free Fire? And how does it impact your 2022 outlook?
In terms of Free Fire MAX, it is still at very early stage. We already see some positive and encouraging signs within our expectation of deeper engagement with users who have higher spec phones and they can enjoy higher resolution pictures and more features, etc. And also within Free Fire MAX, we have introduced some features such as Craftland, which allows people to add a map and customize it and make it available for other users. This is our initial test in creating more user generation, content tools for our community engagement, and bringing more creativity from our communities into the game itself. So we are very much looking forward to the fourth quarter and ahead to continue to grow this game.
You talked about normalization post COVID, could you take us through the range of possible outcomes as we come out of COVID?
On the one hand, the step-up in digitalization in our markets, the forming of user behavior to shop online and also sell things from online by more of the especially the small businesses and even the brands are permanent here to stay. Meanwhile, we haven't seen any particular economies being so deeply or permanently impacted by COVID that there is clearly an impact on consumption. And at least from our perspective as a market leader, we continue to grow in our market leadership, especially in our markets, which are generally high-growth markets with low e-commerce penetration, we continue to see long-term growth potential. So on that front, we are quite optimistic about the long-term growth potential of e-commerce.
Can you elaborate what is the target you wanted to achieve, especially from the European countries? What kind of KPI that you will monitor to assess that your progress is well achieved and to potentially to evaluate to invest more?
We believe that we have gained a deep operational experience in operating in different markets as well as outstanding of our business model focusing on mobile native, social commerce driven and long-tail high diverse categories. However, being humble is one of our core values. Hopefully, our entrance could add value to the markets and see potential new growth areas that could also further promote the local e-commerce growth together with our peers. However, we haven't set any fixed KPI. I think it's still at a very nascent exploratory stage. We are optimistic of our Shopee's long-term growth because we believe there is a global demand for our business model.

Nov 15 $JPMorgan(JPM.US)$ has sued $Tesla(TSLA.US)$ for $162.2 million, accusing Elon Musk's electric car company of "flagrantly" breaching a contract the two corporate giants agreed in 2014 relating to warrants Tesla sold to the bank.
Tesla in 2014 sold warrants to JPMorgan that would pay off if their "strike" price was below Tesla's share price when the warrants expired in June and July 2021.
Musk's Aug 7, 2018 tweet that he might take Tesla private at $420 per share and had "funding secured," and his subsequent announcement 17 days later that he was abandoning the plan, created significant volatility in the share price, the bank said.
On both occasions, JPMorgan adjusted the strike price "to maintain the same fair market value" as prior to the tweets.
Tesla's share price rose approximately 10-fold by the time the warrants expired this year, and JPMorgan said this required Tesla under its contract to hand over shares of its stock or cash. The bank said Tesla's failure to do that amounted to a default.
Any thoughts? Or maybe someone can explain what's going on in the case?

$Amazon(AMZN.US)$ Amazon employees get paid very well with all the extra benefits they receive. Glad to see this shut down. Unions can be a pain and a major deterrent for large corporations. Longz AMZN! :-)

66 points for all mooers who vote for this!
COP26, UN's annual climate change conference has just concluded. The conference once again put spotlights on Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG), a hot trend in investing.
Finding companies with strong stocks and growth needn't be a trade-off with environmental, social and governance values. Companies like $Microsoft(MSFT.US)$ , $NVIDIA(NVDA.US)$ , $Salesforce(CRM.US)$ etc. mix profitability with ethical and social responsibility.
What’s your opinion on ESG?
Do you think ESG stocks have growth potential?

With increased focus on the global climate and how the urban landscape impacts sustainable development, the demand for green buildings and practices have also risen, which brings a unique investment opportunity.

Rivian is going public on Wednesday, Nov.10th
join the discussion and post your thoughts!
$Rivian Automotive(RIVN.US)$ , the electric vehicle maker backed by $Amazon(AMZN.US)$ and $Ford Motor(F.US)$ , priced its IPO on Tuesday at $78 a share. The deal values Rivian at $66.5 billion.
Rivian is already worth almost as much as Ford ($79 billion) and General Motors ($85 billion). That’s all before the company has even started generating real revenue. $Lucid Group(LCID.US)$ is worth $72.5 billion even though the company just began production of its first cars. $Nikola(NKLA.US)$ ’s market cap was higher than Ford’s at one point last year before it's been accused to be a lie.
While Rivian is still effectively pre-revenue, the company said in its prospectus that it has a backlog of 55,400 pre-orders for its R1T and R1S electric vehicles. The company said it expects to fill those orders by the end of 2023. Additionally, $Amazon(AMZN.US)$ has ordered 100,000 vehicles to be delivered by Rivian by 2030, and the companies plan to have 10,000 new Rivian-Amazon delivery vehicles on the road as early as next year.
Even though Rivian and Lucid have delivered 0 vehicles to their customers. Investors are continuously trying to hop on "the next Tesla" at the early stage.

Title:swing daily trader only use 20% fundamentals data
Opinion: I rely more on the technical stats. Checking: 1. MA 5, 10 and 20. 2. Williams %R (I only entry when the chart start to go over -20%) 3. MCD chart at Golden Cross. 4. Stochastic showing uptrend. 5. Check earnings date so it have time to rally up then try to sell 3 days before earnings date at peak price.
Author: @GT1982
Title:When Do I Press the Buy Button?
Opinion: I set several target prices to enter based on support/resistance levels over several time frames. When the price alert is triggered, I will not press the buy button straightaway. Rather, I treat it as a fluid figure which I will sit up and place closer attention to when hit.
Author: @HopeAlways
Title:Fundamental Analysis
Opinion: I would mainly use financial metrics to decide if a stock is attractively priced before I press the "trade" button. Learning how to interpret financial metrics help me to value a stock. The cornerstone financial metric to value a business is the price-to-earnings ratio or better known as P/E ratio.
Author: @Moonbsp;tonbsp;Moonnbsp;FTW
Title:What’s your beliefs and what’s your risk appetite?
Opinion: There can be many methods/indicators – be it theoretical, practical or luck (maybe)? In my opinion, I’m more of the 40-30-20-10. 40%: Research on the Company/Stock and anything related to it. 30%: The theoretical analysis. 20%: Reading on the news surrounding the Company/Stock, the Trend and what’s stirring the market. 10%: Luck!
Author: @Mamanbsp;Cass
Title:Aha Fundamental Trade Button Motivators
Opinion: Does this company provide a product or service that I will use in ANY economy? If the answer is "no", then I don't care how pretty they are on paper, I'm out. If the answer is "yes" then I'm jumping up and down on that Trade button! Never invest in a business you can't understand.
Author: @Marsnbsp;Mooo
Title:This is just a game
Opinion: As for me, pressing the trade button is more of like a game, just like the television series, Squid Game, which is now streaming in NFLX. In Squid Game, players does not only uses their skills, they also relies on information (or news) and luck in order to be alive for the next game.
Author: @NANA123
Title:Which strategy prompted you to press the "trade" button?
Opinion: I think we should figure out what the trading model is before confirming our stock picking ideas. I only participate in those stocks whose daily line has just broken through the half-year line or the annual line, use a standard to define the trend, and then filter out all the stocks that don't have a trend.
Author: @Powerhouse
Title:Money and cash return will drive you to trade now!
Opinion: There is no 100% right or wrong as to when to click trade for a stock but rather, the best use of information at that moment to make the best decision. The sooner you get in, the better. Don't wait to buy stocks. Buy stocks and wait. Time in the market beats timing the market.
Author: @Panda2102
Title:Best time to press the trade button
Opinion: After I done my macro level research and zoomed into a list of selected companies, I put them through a framework and score them. The mission statement, the moat, the network effect, the switching cost, low cost advantage, optionality, the ratio for PE, PEG, Cash, Debt, Free Cash flow and the ownership of the company.
Author: @Qwinbie
Title:What Push You to Press The Trade Button?
Opinion: After selecting a bundle of high-quality stocks in the stock screener, I will have five shortlisted stocks. I will see the GMMA indicator of all the 5 stocks and decide which one has the most suitable price to buy. Once the analysis is done, I will press the “trade button” based on my monthly budget.
