This is episode 130,<br> tonight, Andrew and I are going to talk a little a bit about how the news can<br> impact the market. Lately, there have been some bigger news things that have<br> hit the news and have had a big impact on the market lately and Andrew and I<br> thought that this would be kind of a timely subject to talk about. So we<br> thought we would chat a little bit about this. So Indra and I were talking off-air<br> about some of the things that are going on in the world and whatnot. And we<br> thought we would share our thoughts on those and how they can impact the<br> market. And you can see some of the things that are going on right now, which<br> are very, very fresh in everybody’s mind. You know, we’re recording right now<br> in February of 2020 and so some of the big things that are talked about in the<br> news recently are Coronavirus has been a big thing.<br> <br> <br> <br> Dave<br> (<a href="https://www.temi.com/editor/t/Oju4n77Jr7qZCuliSUj_wnp6xfk7blYV1zULJCMH3T7Skjru8jQ2tyt32auqkduDRIeV_8Aiqw8H3hYdmn4WcuxjxOw?loadFrom=DocumentDeeplink&amp;ts=91.47">01:31</a>):<br> <br> <br> <br> The<br> trade Wars and also with the Tesla stock, a big shock here in the last week or<br> so since our earnings came out. Those are some big items that Andrew and I<br> thought we could talk a little bit about. So why don’t we talk a little bit<br> about Tesla first, how they have some fun with that. That’s always a fun<br> conversation for us. Our favorite, right? Yeah, exactly. I’d like to hear what<br> you were talking about before we hit the record button because you’re, I mean,<br> we should have been recording then and there you got the fire that yeah, it<br> was, it was pretty interesting. So for those of you that have been under hiding<br> under a rock recently Tesla put out their wait as to quarterly earnings, which<br> came out, I believe it was towards the end of January. It might’ve been January<br> 29th or 30th.<br> <br> <br> <br> Dave<br> (<a href="https://www.temi.com/editor/t/Oju4n77Jr7qZCuliSUj_wnp6xfk7blYV1zULJCMH3T7Skjru8jQ2tyt32auqkduDRIeV_8Aiqw8H3hYdmn4WcuxjxOw?loadFrom=DocumentDeeplink&amp;ts=143.1">02:23</a>):<br> <br> <br> <br> I<br> can’t remember the specific day. But anyway for them they had a good earnings<br> report. They showed some free cashflow for change. They had revenue increased.<br> It has been increasing over the last three or four quarters. So good for them.<br> They are selling more cars, which is awesome. But I was kind of looking through<br> the earth through the financials before we came on the air. And I was talking<br> to Andrew A. Little bit about it. So some things I wanted to kind of point out.<br> So number one, their earnings per share for that quarter was $.056. Whole<br> cents, wait for it. 56 whole cents. Yeah, huge numbers. Right? And so for a<br> company that has orange or marker cap, then gosh, I can’t think of anybody else<br> for combined.
