the dreaded “death cross,” a historical indicator of a likely downturn for the company

[...] occurs when a company’s 50-day moving average crosses and drops below the 200-day average.

Fuck Tesla and all that, but holy shit is that standard ever a depressing indicator of to just how reliant late stage capitalism is on endless growth that a tiny dip after half a year of stagnation is a reliable indicator of a company's imminent failure.

I checked and TSLA is still up from where it was 6 and 12 Months ago, how is it in a death cross?

Unfortunately the stock seems fine to my.

it's just a moving average cross. 50 day MA moves below 200 MA, that's it. Can be a bearish sign but I've seen it bounce in this moment a bunch of times.

But technical analsyis is just drawing imaginary lines on a chart, they know nothing about how stupid Trump and Musk are so it might very well be bearish. At least I hope so. I want to see him get margin called at 114$ or so they say.

Technical analysis is where gambler's fallacy meets self-fulfilling prophecy. Though other forces are also in play.

Yup. It's back to roughly October levels, like the rest of the S&P 500.

He doesn't care. He wants it to tank because then he can buy it out and go fully private again.

If the stock really tanks (I've heard the magic number is $114) his loans get called & he likely has to sell xAI or SpaceX to cover.

wouldn't surprise me if he gets bailed out with tax money

[–] Tja@programming.dev 9 points 6 days ago

That's not how any of this works.

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 7 points 6 days ago

Except, to buy it out, he has to first pay the creditors for the value, because he used that as collateral to buy Twitter.

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

That's great, now you get to deliver the finishing blow
