adding position at 6.66
$UP Fintech (TIGR.US)$

I'd invested in the Singapore market for the past decade and it has been pretty disappointing. The share price of $Keppel (BN4.SG)$ has never recovered. Luckily, the bulk of my investment were in REITS and I've earned from the dividend if not the price appreciation. Banks like $DBS Group Holdings (D05.SG)$ are also ok. But nothing compares to the US market which I'd not touched until the advent of new investment tools like Moomoo!

$UP Fintech (TIGR.US)$ Would this coming Monday be the second bottom 6.46 (double bottom) to bring us back to an uptrend?

$UP Fintech (TIGR.US)$ The old 🐯 woke up……

$Camber Energy (CEI.US)$ lots of panicking and shorting tells me something is brewing. So calls for January to give enough time for whatever hedges fear to come to fruition sounds good to me.
What is it now, spending bill?

Q&A is a session under a company's earnings conference that institutional and retailinvestors ask some most-concerned questions to the management. By looking into $Blackstone (BX.US)$ , a leading investment company, we can get an in-depth understanding of the latest investing trends, and hopefully find valuable trade ideas.
Key Takeaways:
Attitudes: quarter-to-quarter, it's not fruitful to predict. But big picture, the company is in remarkably good position over time.
Goals: to have a vision of how big we can be consistent with great performance for our investors. The company is going to keep at tech investment and orient toward the ESG.
Investment: overall to identify where there are real secular tailwinds in the migration of everything online, sustainability, life sciences, global travel coming out of COVID, the rise in places of the middle class in India.
- For tech sector, the company invests in early stage companies in the fintech area, the prop tech area, the enterprise tech area, the cyber area.
- On ESG, as an asset class, the demands for capital are enormous.
Can you talk about on the deployment side how you are kind of able to deploy that to kind of keep returns going without affecting the market just from a pricing perspective?
One of the advantages we have is scale. Year-to-date we've been involved in 13 public to privates, which are transactions that are often harder for other firms because of their size and complexity. If you looked in the quarter, the 10 largest transactions we did in terms of investments and commitments, all of them were done in vehicles that did not exist 5 years ago. So, deploying capital for us at scale has gotten easier because we have more ores in that water and that has really helped us as the capital comes in. And we do it geographically across the globe. We do it across risk and return as well.
The last thing I'd say is this somatic approach that -- what we've tried to do as a firm is identify where there are real secular tailwinds in the migration of everything online, sustainability, life sciences, global travel coming out of COVID, the rise in places of the middle class in India, alternatives. Look at these different asset classes and try to deploy capital directly on scene and then sometimes one derivative off.
You hit your $100 billion core target ahead of schedule. So, what's next?
What we accomplished in the Core Plus area. And whenever we go into a new area or introduce a new product, actually it's fun for me to have a vision of how big we can be consistent with great performance for our investors. So, we certainly got this one right and we've got a lot of momentum of course behind that. Part of the way of managing a great firm is having amazing people and great prospects and discipline when we go into something and set targets for success, both investment-wise and scale-wise. And we're all used to that system here.
Hoping you might be able to give us a little sense of what's to come into 4Q.
As you know, we don't give sort of near-term guidance, but the big picture, as I mentioned in my remarks, is this net accrued performance revenue receivable. That's double what it was pre-COVID. Much of it is relatively liquid, so, we'll take advantage of that based on market conditions. Obviously, the invested performance revenue AUM has grown considerably. So, quarter-to-quarter, it's not a fruitful to guide to that or to predict that. But big picture, we're in remarkably good position over time.
Just hoping you could update us on some of the technology investments that you're making across the firm. As you think it about digitizing, automating parts of your business, how do you think about the opportunity set there?
Stepping back in the technology area, we've been investing in people and in hardware and software for a bunch of years now. We actually have nearly 400 employees in technology and data science. It's --we have to say it's the fastest-growing part of the firm. We have a Innovations Program. We don't talk a lot about it, it's a small program, but we do use internal capital to purchase small stakes in early stage companies in the fintech area, the prop tech area, the enterprise tech area, the cyber area. We're going to keep at it. It's still early days and there's a long way to go.
If you want to just talk about the potential for any ESG impact offerings.
On ESG. So, what I'd say on that is I think the most relevant areas for us are three areas.. In the energy credit and energy debt areas, there was much more orientation toward hydrocarbons and E&P. That -- a lot of those activities we've deemphasized in a significant way over the last 3 years or 4 years. And we've been doing much more around the energy transition and have great success. We put an investment into a public company called the $Array Technologies (ARRY.US)$ , which moves solar panels.
And I would expect the next vintages of our energy equity and energy debt funds will be heavily oriented toward the transition, toward sustainability. I think investors will react well. And I think similarly, we'll do more in infrastructure. So, I think overall as an asset class, the demands for capital are enormous.

Key Takeaways:
Attitudes: management feel very optimistic in the long term, but there's also a lot of uncertainty right now.
Goals: the company's goal is to grow on an average pace of 50% per year, and ultimately be able to achieve 20 million cars per year.
Products: the company is working on a strategy to increase production rates as quickly as possible. Cybertruck is expected to launch by next year.
Do you still expect to start production of the $25,000 model in 2023. What are the biggest hurdles from now until then?
Yeah, we're working on a strategy to increase our production rates as quickly as possible. We don't want to add any new vehicles to our lineup when we're generally is in a cell constrained world. While there is still more runway to grow these existing products, we are focused on Model Y expansion and also in Berlin, ramping S&X further in Fremont to restore to pass levels, while also growing 3 and Y production in Fremont in Shanghai.
After Model Y in Austin, our next product launch will be Cybertruck. And that's time and course depend on increasing cell capacity and completing our currently full plate of products on the table.
What is Tesla 's goal for vehicle production capacity for the current factories?
Our goal as a Company here is to grow on an average pace of 50% per year. I think that will be a difficult goal, but that's the goal that the internal team has. And they're going to continue to push on that. We're trying to get to 5,000 cars a week as soon as we can. And then we'll continue to push beyond that, potentially even getting to 10,000 cars per week at those factories. And then we will add Cybertruck here in Austin and continue to grow from there. So, our goal is to get to millions of cars per year over the next couple of years. And then ultimately in the long term, be able to achieve 20 million cars per year.
Is Tesla considering any other ideas other than FSD with the real-world AI that can bring additional software revenue to Tesla?
Sure. At AI Day we did talk about potential future where Dojo could be used as a neural net training platform for other companies. It's not a focus of ours today as we are fully subscribed on Dojo with our internal uses, we do expect to continue to improve the in-car experience in the context of FSD
Elon said that we get an update on Cybertruck in November a year ago, but it hasn't happened and we know there are a lot of updates. Will you show off the new and improved Cybertruck?
We get a lot of questions on Cybertruck. We've been busy detailing the Cybertruck to achieve the prototype version we shared with customers awhile back. As you may have seen recently on social media, we've built a number of alphas and are currently testing those to further mature the design. We'll continue to work through the product in the beta stages that we're in now and look to launch that by next year.
You hit low-teens operating margins. That was your medium-term target. You're there now, despite the number of challenges and not full utilization to the plan. How are you thinking about that target now?
we've actually exceeded our long-term guidance on our operating margin target. As full self-driving matures, as take rates increase, if we are to raise pricing on that, there's considerable upside both on gross margins and operating margin as that comes to light, as the business starts to become more of a mix of a hardware-based Company and a software-based Company.
So, we feel optimistic about the journey --very optimistic about the journey as we look over into the long term, just a little bit difficult over the next 4 to 5 quarters. There's just a lot of uncertainty in the world right now.
