| 0:00.0 | Hey, Rave Mower here and today we're going to be spending a lot of time talking about Apple and their electric vehicle ambitions and how those may relate to Tesla, impact Tesla. |
| 0:15.6 | We have some new tweets from Elon on that situation actually. |
| 0:18.3 | So we're going to go through that. |
| 0:19.3 | We'll spend a little bit of time talking about the S&P 500 Inclusion since this is kind of our first normal episode since that's all gone down. |
| 0:25.4 | Then we have a couple of other interesting pieces of news as well. |
| 0:28.8 | All right, so Tesla stock finished the day down 1.5% today to $640.34. We're now down a little under 10% from the $675 |
| 0:37.6 | closing price on Friday. The Tesla was added to the S&P 500 index at. Although we did have that buy side imbalance on the closing |
| 0:45.0 | cross on Friday, it does look like from the stock price action so far this week, that |
| 0:49.3 | indexers were able to get the amount of shares that they required, maybe in the after hour session, or at least by now through the beginning of this week. |
| 0:55.6 | I would imagine they've all got their full allotment. So thankfully we can mostly move on now, |
| 0:59.8 | though of course, we still don't really know what's going to happen with all the benchmark funds, the trillions of dollars of assets there. |
| 1:04.8 | As we had talked about last week, those benchmark funds could generate alpha or variance from their benchmark, |
| 1:10.6 | simply by acquiring shares of Tesla when they have fallen more than the rest of the index has. |
| 1:15.0 | That is assuming they take an equal weight position at that point in time. |
| 1:18.0 | So we'll have to keep an eye on that, but that could provide some support on the downside when Tesla is underperforming the rest of the |
| 1:24.2 | S&P 500. Like has been the case, the last couple of days. I've gotten a couple questions here about |
| 1:28.9 | the SPY, the IV, and the V. O.O. 3 of the largestefs tracking the S&P 500 that we had been watching to see if they had |
| 1:35.3 | added Tesla. Those three all have now added Tesla. S. P. Y. V. as of December 21st, both reported 1.58% weight in Tesla, which means they have all the |
| 1:45.8 | shares they need. |
| 1:47.4 | Tesla was actually added at a weight of 1.69%, but of course that weight is going to change |
| 1:52.3 | based on Tesla's relative performance to the rest of the stocks in the index |
| 1:56.1 | Remember that doesn't mean any changes to the number of shares they have just to the value as for that third EDF we were looking at |
