CEO was draggin' this bad boy out as long as he could.

This is such an interesting situation, yet odd at the same time. Here's how I view it. Art is a form of expression. Controversy has shrouded many of the greats... whether it be drugs, mental health issues, or psychotic breaks. Art is their platform and they use it to express themselves. Banksy has always been opposed to selling art because he believes everyone should be able to enjoy it. And he is someone who enjoys the controversy because it creates discussion. So back to the painting. Nothing has ever happened like this before in the history of art. Therefore it's become an extremely rare and sought after piece. If I were to guess, the value probably went up 50%. https://twitter.com/myartbroker/status/1048521154095472645

Long as in long term? If this is what you are referring to, then it really depends on the investor. Some may consider long-term positions to be a year and some may consider it to be 10+ years. For example, you are the portfolio manager for a mutual fund. Since mutual funds take a significant stake in the companies they invest in, they do not trade in and out frequently because the execution costs are high. MF's may liquidate a small portion of their position but that will take place over a long period 3-5 years. For a mutual fund, long would be 10-15+ years.

I read this book 2 years ago. Lewis is a great story teller, makes things easier to understand. I would recommend it, but it doesn't go much into the technology behind it.

How many different valuations are we going to place on an asset that is open-source?

Well, in terms of certifications you would be able to achieve as an undergrad, your choices are limited. If you were to really commit to anything it would first be Bloomberg Market Concepts. Costs ~$120 and gives you something to add to a resume. Once you hit your senior year, you are now in the CFA level I territory. There are other certifications online but those dont hold much merit, and if you put some "Institute of Finance, or Technical Analysis Certification" on your resume, you wont be taken serious.

Justice Department let SEC have their day.. now its time for the big boys to step in.

One major issue you are dodging... The People of the United States vs. Elon Musk

March 31, 2017, Musk announced that the Tesla will be producing a Model 3 that will retail for $35,000. "Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the car will deliver at least 215 miles of range beginning at just $35,000 — that's a bold claim, and an important one for Tesla to meet. Musk is "fairly confident" that deliveries will begin by the end of 2017, and "you will not be able to buy a better car for $35,000, even with no options." And it will be one of the safest cars in the world"- Jordan Golson, The Verge When considering the markets reaction, we can get an idea of how priced in this news announcement was. Although this is just small bump in share price, this has been a very hot topic for the last two years. It would open up Tesla's consumer market 10-fold and would result in a huge boost in sales, ultimately impacting the bottom line. They have yet to act on these numbers and have yet to sell a Tesla in the $35,000 range.
