Arcimoto, the real thing? ($12k tandem EV trike, 70/130 mi. range)

Can Reacher really have his pension sent to Western Union?

Is that a cultural reference?

There was a bank that refused to reverse the overcharges when it was demonstrably their error (1960s). I was going to a bank to deposit $500, but the Sheriff had padlocked their doors (1970s). That was enough for me.

The difficulty in this day and age is not being set up for crypto. I'd want a dedicated device running a full Bitcoin node and cold storage to start.

Well, my limit order executed at $5 this morning, so now I'm a proud owner of 20 shares of FUV. Made a dollar (unrealized) in the first half hour.

Bought a hundred @4.93 made two bucks by close ten minutes later. Lots of negative data in the research section from dont touch with a ten foot pole to serious underperform. My CFo wants to know what their problem is
Ehhh play money

So freebeard does use financial institutions. That makes sense, but I was more impressed before this new knowledge.

Sorry to disappoint.

As of last Thursday, I need an exercycle/mobility scooter. So I'm waiting on price and availability.

[Piotrsko]

Not dissapointed, it's just no longer impressive that you turned out to be normal

Freebeard
Still no Arcimoto ??

[redpoint5]

I increased my stake to 140 shares after it dipped below $5 briefly. Overall I'm in at $4.98 and it closed at $5.21

I haven't done much research, but the company only has 133 employees. My instinct is that if there was money in trikes, a traditional auto manufacturer would be able to more easily jump into the space and have the expertise and supply chain worked out.

Maybe they'll get bought out by a bigger company.

... and normal is a normally distributed spectrum. Abnormal would be 3 standard deviations from the mean. freebeard might just barely be within that range.

Curious what you mean by exercise/mobility. Typically a mobility scooter is the opposite of exercise, meant for the disabled. What's wrong with biking?

I was with OUR from it's founding to the end. To begin with they didn't borrow monies to lend out, running on deposits. And they didn't report to social credit scoring agencies. So I typically carried a balance and a car loan about half the time.

Now I've been subsumed by Nortwest Community Credit Union, so I just siphon the Social Security stipend directly into cash, with a very small reserve.

I didn't post my failure but I sold my 200 shares a month or so ago at around $7 but I bought around 13.5 so lost 1/2 of my $3000. I used it to help buy a $9000 2007 Jeep Wrangler I found. Now I find myself with 4 running and insured cars that all get terrible mpg.
