August 2024 brought worrying signs for the European automotive industry. New car registrations have fallen by 18,3 % across the major markets. This reflects not only short-term problems, but also long-term changes that could fundamentally affect investment in the EU automotive industry. 📉

The problem is not whether combustion or EV (EV is simply much better both in terms of production and user) but further development of production technology. While Europe is running a classic Ford line only supplemented by single purpose robots. Tesla closely followed by China has switched to Gigapress production, unboxing, and it will all be controlled by universal robots. Moreover, China has wisely let its competitors sink a lot of money into the technologically obsolete factories it has allowed them to build while itself learning from Tesla. These Chinese capabilities of European manufacturers are now uncompetitive, as are their parent companies, purely because of the cost of production. The tragedy of VW was that when Dies explained to them a few years ago that it was impossible to produce a car in several times Tesla's time and pushed for efficiency, the union pressured the owners to get rid of him. Well they ended up closing factories instead of radically upgrading them with this approach. Which is the only thing that would help them. So now they're leaning out production and trying to bridge the technology gap by working with "startups" Rivian, QS. And the familly trust Porsche Piech also separated Porsche under its control. Probably to save some of what their ancestors built. 🤷♂️

I have bought shares of $DIS for a while now and have a loss there. Overall this year the stock is going rather sideways and there is no news coming from the company. I don't know what or how Disney wants to restore growth and more profitability again, so I'm not buying anymore. I will hold for now and wait to see what Disney... Read more

The Fed should have done this a long time ago, but it's a good thing they finally lowered it by that 0.5%.
Today, my friends! What do you think will be the market reaction to the interest rate cut?

Well, I also expected only a 0.25% cut. The Fed should have done it long ago, but better than nothing.

The company is not doing as well as it used to and the stock is down a lot. In my opinion, $NFLX is the best and the rest are not doing well.
