Josh Maybe I’ll manage to get a PlayStation 5 by Christmas 2022

Josh I owe you an apology to ever doubt your sincerity and professionalism. It’s was just like a dream to me when I received my first payment. After my second payment it became a reality now after several payments it has become a way of life. SamuelEddy_

Josh Why is CNBC such trash? Questions we’ll never have answers to.

Josh Tariffs, embargoes and sanctions have consequences.

Josh I'm Engaging in this because this was how I came across a tweet about Fxlisama001 and I decided to give a trial with her platform after I have been scammed by other expert trader, luckily for me I Invested little amount and received my profit after 7 days.

And having a shit lineup will do the rest.

gm, yesterday

Tesla has chips

Earnings or revenue?that is a whole lot of vehicles to generate $2 billion in earnings. (Cheaper chips are available & no one uses all those toys which can be upgraded later when GM recalls those vehicles later which they inevitable will.)

Ford has a ton of debt although a better buy. Tons of highly anticipated new models with long waiting lists to get them.

Josh 26 weeks if they're lucky + add the hoarding dimension. typically the best lead times are reserved for the best customers and many of those are distributors. can't even being to tell you how complex it gets after that RWMann

Josh The way my leaps are going to be up bigly when we get a handle on this shortage .... paytience!
