Chapter 65
Tesla is too expensive at $50, but you should buy it
$12 billion.
It was fun to do stocks because the amount of investment was large.
“Apple stock is selling in large quantities at a price that is down 4% from yesterday.”
“Then you should buy it.”
“How much?”
“To the extent that it does not affect the market price. Just buy $100 million.”
“Yep.”
Ellie’s penthouse.
I only had one desktop computer, so I worked on a separate laptop.
Although we have selected several stocks to invest in, sufficient stocks must come out.
Moreover, it was necessary to catch it at a cheap price if possible.
Lower price than yesterday.
Lower price than last week.
You invest in anticipation that the direction of the rapidly falling stock market will change, but you cannot neglect your efforts to increase the rate of return by 1%.
1% of $12 billion is a whopping $120 million.
Earth Resources is experiencing unprecedented growth, but its 300 employees have yet to make that much money.
‘It’s about the 4-year net profit of the Korean branch of Arcor.’
With Ellie’s help, he became more serious about investing.
It is true that he belittled those who worked in the financial sector while looking at funds that paid minus money to customers.
However, it is the financiers who use their professional knowledge to make an effort to increase the rate of return of 0.01%.
Because raising customers’ money is the way to their own success.
“Etsy is down 7% from yesterday.”
“Etsy?”
“It’s an e-commerce company dealing with handicrafts. Its market capitalization is around $4 billion. Characteristically, this time, they say they are making handmade masks.”
“Let’s just invest $30 million.”
“I will classify them separately and divide them into several days to invest.”
Thanks to Ellie’s help, I discovered and invested in various stocks.
Lunch is simple with a sandwich and coffee.
While focusing on investment, the time to cook completely disappeared.
“How about Nvidia?”
“Are you a graphics card company?”
“yes.”
It was a company that Oh Myung-woo loved very much.
The company you want to buy whenever the latest graphics card series comes out.
It’s hard not to buy it when you record a leap in performance on benchmarks.
In particular, the reviews of new games are very good, if you can run them at high frame rates with full options!
It was a very important issue for Oh Myung-woo to play the game at 50 frames per minute or to stably extract 60 frames per minute.
It was also a very important company in relation to coins.
Graphics cards have better computational performance than CPUs, so they are often used for mining.
When bitcoin mining was popular, Nvidia’s graphics cards were in short supply.
‘Untact. People can’t walk around, so I have no choice but to play a lot of games.’
A justified investment.
The company’s market capitalization exceeded $200 billion.
I thought I had a lot of money, but when I saw these huge companies, I was humbled.
Considering its competitiveness and market share in the graphics card field, it is a company with sufficient investment value.
“Let’s invest a billion dollars.”
“yes. I know.”
Ellie was there to help, but when I made a decision, she followed suit.
“What about PayPal?”
“There will be a lot of online payments, so I should buy it.”
“How is the Peloton?”
“Where is it?”
“It’s a company that makes home training products.”
After listening to Ellie, I searched for information about the company.
$5 billion market cap.
‘There are times when a market capitalization of $5 billion is considered cheap.’
There were monsters with a market capitalization of over 100 billion in the US stock market, so the small guys look cute.
Of course, a company worth 6 trillion by Korean standards is a fairly large company.
“It’s home training.”
It was an area that was not very popular in the past.
Untact era.
It could be very distressing for those who have to exercise because of Corona.
People who enjoy exercising, people who cannot tolerate muscle loss.
“Do you know the company?”
“yes. We launch a lot of products. Since the margin rate of home training products is high, I think the stock price can jump a lot if sales are supported.”
“It could be.”
It also decided to invest $200 million in Peloton.
Buy stock in video conferencing company Zoom.
With the help of Dr. Lee Ho-yeon, I invested in pharmaceutical companies.
Of course, it was not a request to pick up a specific event.

Vaccine development will also require a lot of attention, but I don’t want to burden you with useless requests.
―Kim Shin: Is there any other company besides Biolife that can make a corona vaccine quickly?
―Kim Shin: It doesn’t have to be tight. It would be nice if you could briefly explain with the knowledge you know.
―Lee Ho-yeon: This is Moderna.
―Lee Ho-yeon: It was established for the research of a Harvard Medical School professor I know, but it does not have a long history.
―Lee Ho-yeon: Still, they must have great technology for mRNA. If the mRNA method was chosen to shorten the vaccine development period, it could be made quickly.
―Kim Shin: You must be busy, but thank you for letting me know.
There was a fact that I realized while meeting many ophthalmologists.
If you want to know a good doctor for cataract surgery, it’s best to ask another doctor.
Because the ones who know the information about the opponent the best are the competitors in the related field.
“Ellie, I’m going to invest in Moderna.”
“How much?”
Companies with a market cap exceeding $20 billion.
So, it was easy to decide on the investment amount.
“$800 million. The more severe the corona is, the better the stock price will be because it is a pharmaceutical company.”
“yes. I know.”
Since 12 billion dollars is a lot of money, they invested a considerable amount in Apple and Microsoft.
And Tesla!
A company that many people are watching with interest.
I couldn’t forget the feeling of driving a Tesla for the first time in the United States.
Even now, every time I drive Myung-Woo Oh’s car, I am amazed at its acceleration and upgraded user experience.
‘I went through trial and error, but in the end, production is increasing as planned.’
Tesla sold cars and lost production.
Electric cars do not emit carbon, so they make a profit selling carbon credits to other companies.
That kind of side income was hundreds of millions of dollars every year, so it was quite lucrative.
‘The automobile industry is an economy of scale.’
What is the reason why the future car has been steadily striving to be in the top 5 in the world?
The more they make, the lower the manufacturing cost, so it was to have price competitiveness.
As Tesla’s production volume increases and the efficiency of its factories increases, a surplus is expected in vehicle production and sales from around next year.
Finally making a profit from the main business.
“Ellie, how about a Tesla?”
“Even considering the sales and net profit so far, an automobile company with a market cap of $50 billion is not cheap.”
“Isn’t it? It has a much bigger market cap than GM or Ford.”
“yes. Wouldn’t it be prudent to invest at $50 per share?”
Tesla’s share price has not changed much over the past six years.
These days, even in the stock market, besides maniacs, he is shunned.
Nevertheless, Tesla was still new and advanced in technology.
The stocks I bought this time were not meant to be held for 1 or 2 months, but I was looking at them for more than 2 years.
I was going to keep the adage of investing time.
“Let’s buy Tesla.”
“How much do you plan to do?”
$50 billion market cap.
It would be difficult to buy too much, but it is a company that is disappointing to buy a little.
I haven’t lived my life for a long time, but I’ve experienced several hit products that have created a trend.
In the end, the company that made the items that gave me an amazing experience did very well.
Although Tesla has had many ups and downs in the meantime, it has shown steady growth by overcoming its weaknesses.
I decided to believe in its potential.
“I’m thinking of spending $4 billion on Tesla.”
“Really? So it’s close to 8% of the stake?”
If you go into the buyout, Tesla’s corporate value could rise.
Since it is a stock that is actively traded, the impact will be less.
“yes. I want to become a major shareholder of Tesla.”

“Damn it. Did you see the article of the source shopping mall that was launched this time? With Source Coin as bait, sales increase rapidly.”
“Ugh. They are not shaken by our fierce attacks.”
Jim and Dojin Kwon.
After being denied cooperation with Earth Resources, they launched several types of attacks.
They used the press or celebrities to shake things up, and did not deal with source coins at influential coin exchanges.
Other coins then plummeted in price to less than half and were often turned away from investors.
―Gaaa!
―You can look forward to Source Coin, right?
―I did a lot of shopping. Received 100,000 Source Coins. It’s better than bank deposits.
―[Information article] Why is Source Coin bound to rise?
―Source Coin is not just a coin. hehe
―More than 2 million people around the world are mining!
―Since the source coin is released at the shopping mall, there are some transactions. good job.
―The future is source coin.
Sourcecoin’s project was spreading beyond Korea to the United States and Asian countries.
So far, only a few exchanges have supported trading.
In the first place, the volume of Source Coin itself was not large, and few people wanted to sell it.
It did not gain popularity due to lack of trade, but its name value was rapidly spreading around the community.
“Dojin, I thought there were many advantages to working with Sourcecoin. If their growth continues, it will threaten our business.”
“you’re right. If investors are in the spotlight and people are interested in it, it will affect the market price of our coins.”
Not all of them were cooperating with coin-related celebrities on social media.
Celebrities or entrepreneurs who have influence in various fields.
What will happen when those who have supporters based on successful investments start talking about Source Coin?
It can trigger trading of source coins that are released in large quantities.
The coin market feeds on people’s attention.
There was room for them to rise to major coins and become monsters that would destroy the rules and balance they had established.

Arkor’s group chat room.
―Na Sang-guk: These days, the stock market is the worst every day. In this case, the person who makes money is the real master.
Na Sang-guk was talking about investment.
―Na Sang-guk: Not losing is the first rule of investment.
―Na Sang-guk: If you lose 30%, you have to go up 40% to recover it. Okay?
―Na Sang-guk: But true masters make profits even in falling markets.
―Jeong Min-gyeong: How?
―Na Sang-guk: I’m buying a put. You are watching the market and actively betting.
―Go Bo-kyung: Oh! Awesome. You made such a profit.
―Na Sang-guk: 1,000% profit per month. I’ll say it with my own mouth, but it’s an income that even domestic financial experts can’t afford.
Na Sang-guk has experienced painful failures over the past two years.
coin investment.
He even contributed to the loss of money for a company colleague’s marriage.
The reason why he shamelessly went to the company was because he was a person who would succeed in the future anyway.
‘After hitting the jackpot a few times, I’m going to advance to the United States. Investing in startups in Silicon Valley. In the United States, which has a huge financial market, if you hit the right option!’
One investment!
His dream resembled someone, and that was Kim Shin.
Hearing that Shin Kim bought a put option… … .
‘All assets of 40 million won, let’s go!’
I shouted Gazua and drove it into my foot.
And surprisingly, yields skyrocketed.
Derivatives could be sold at any time in the US.
200%.
300%.
400%.
‘What rate of return increases like elementary school arithmetic?’
I waited silently even though I was embarrassed by the incredible achievement.
‘Kim Shin didn’t sell it. Then there is sufficient reason to wait.’
As a result of the final investment, Shin Kim earned a profit of 52.5 times.
Although he followed suit belatedly, he was able to earn more than 10 times the profit.
’40 million won became 400 million won?’
Not only did he make up for his losses, but he also earned Arcor’s 10-year salary.
The object of jealousy has suddenly become a role model.
