MG Magna International Looking to buy into Magna as an EV play with reputation and track record. Big break out on some news. Looking for it to retest the previous ATH and would like that to fail and hopefully I can get in at the low 80s. Same with others, I’m not in a rush to get into this. RSI showing over bought. I should be able to get some sort of discount here.
Former GM Executive to Start a Blank-Check Company QELLFormer GM Executive to Start a Blank-Check Company Qell Acqusition corp
Engle has co-founded a SPAC called Qell Acquisition Corp., using his own cash and a healthy slug of money from PIMCO Investment Management, the giant investment firm with almost $2 trillion in assets.
And why not? While GM has beaten market returns by a few points this year, most auto stocks have been flat or down in 2020. Meanwhile, Tesla Inc. has tripled in value this year and investors have poured cash into at least 15 EV-related startups like Nikola, Fisker Inc. and Lordstown Motors Corp. All in, blank-check firms have raised $70 billion this year.
Engle is looking to acquire a company that will profit off the rapid changes happening in transportation no matter which company wins the EV or even self-driving game. He is looking at companies that can supply charging network hardware or services, or software and data collection for electric or self-driving vehicles.
He sees opportunities in autonomous technology, telematics and infotainment. Power sports and motorcycles are just being electrified, which also present early opportunities. There is less competition, so plug-in bikes that serve Asia could be a strong play, he said. There are also emerging companies that will build small electric aircraft for short-haul flights or to ferry people in congested cities.
Engle said Qell will consider companies with no revenue, but he prefers “real companies that have a product and revenue or are soon to be bringing in revenue.”
“If the money that gets raised is applied to emerging growth companies that have a revenue stream and a line of sight toward significant growth, they have a better chance,” Spitzer said. “If SPACs have no track record of putting money into an early-stage company, I’m skeptical. Engle has been in that world and knows it.”

GRAT.V looking to buy Looking to buy a graphite company for a play on EV. Will try and get in at the low 30s if resistance fails again if tested again. Otherwise I’ll watch the trend and see where it goes early this coming week. 50DDMA pointing down, I’m confident in a low 30s entry point.
Potential Long-Term Hold Based on Increased growth potential and electrical vehicles becoming more prominent I'm long for a long term hold opportunity at a discount. Will wait for confirmation on break and retest of either horizontal support and/or green growth channel. Will be aiming to cover my loss at break of horizontal key area.

GEELY AUTO is on the move to break Resistance?
If #GeelyAuto breaks the upper channel then the price could go to next all time high.
*** Just sharing my own opinion , NOT AN #INVESTMENT #ADVICE.
TESLA hit my $600 Target. What's next? $1000 eyed early 2021.Back in October when TSLA was coming out of its 1D Triangle, I posted the following idea with $600 as its Target:
Last week the Target got hit and yesterday we saw another big green candle (+7.13%). What does this mean for Tesla? Will it be extending the rally and for how long?
Personally I believe that as long as it is above the middle (dashed line) of the Channel Up that was created after the COVID collapse (left chart), it will be using the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) as Support and rebound on every contact.
Since March every strong rise was within a +75% to +89% range. Assuming the same pattern is followed, we are looking at a price range within $700-755, before the next consolidation or pull-back to the 1D MA50. The RSI is also near its 6 month Resistance. Once this consolidation is over, the Channel Up shows a Higher High target at $1000 at least.
Needless to say, I am very bullish on the long-term on Tesla. The right chart is on the 1W time-frame, and the RSI shows a unique formation. Every time (since at least 2015) the 1W RSI breaks above a Lower Highs trend-line, a massive rise follows. This means that if the Lower Highs don't break now, the next pull-back might be the decisive to do so and start a new aggressive multi-month bullish leg.
** Please support this idea with your likes and comments, it is the best way to keep it relevant and support me. **

Cramer Says Arrival Has The 'Best Claim To Be The Son Of TeslaCramer Says This EV Startup Has The 'Best Claim To Be The Son Of Tesla,' Gives Blessing To Buy SPAC Stock
The “Mad Money” host said on his CNBC show that if the stock “comes down below $17.50, you can buy it hand over fist, because this one has the best claim to be the son of Tesla — or daughter, to break the tyranny of that awful cliche.”
The automaker, backed by United Parcel Service, Inc (NYSE: UPS), Hyundai Motor Company (OTC: HYMTF), and BlackRock Inc (NYSE: BLK) is “revolutionizing the entire auto industry, and they own a ton of intellectual property,” according to Cramer.
“They make all their own components, they’ll be cost competitive with gasoline and diesel, and that’s why Arrival got that $5 billion valuation from the get-go,” explained Cramer.
Cramer said Arrival’s microfactory concept could have an impact beyond auto industry and it could “revolutionize manufacturing.”
“If they can make an electric van or truck with a lower cost of ownership than the fossil fuel-powered alternatives, that’s a whole new ballgame,” the former hedge-fund manager theorized.
Why It Matters: The merger between CIIG Merger and Arrival was reported last month. The former is backed by Peter Cuneo, the former CEO of Remington and Marvel.
BlackRock has pumped in 8 million into Arrival, which would allow the London-based company to open a manufacturing facility in the United States. stock
UPS has placed an order of 10,000 electric vans with Arrival, worth approximately $500 million.

“We think that solid state technology is the technology best poised to win this battle over the long run.
