Electrek

This one style of vehicle is known by many names. In India, it’s an auto rickshaw. In Thailand, a tuk-tuk (a fun onomatopoeia that arose from the traditionally loud two-stroke engines powering them). But whatever it’s called, these three-wheeled taxis have used their half-bike, half-wagon design to shuttle folks around cities for decades. And now, a new era of rickshaws is seeing electric drives enabling interesting new designs.

His shareholders can play it over and over again, but it won't replace the wasted billions or the giant black hole of their brokerage account balance. Look for lower gap support to give away into a $4 handle next week and depending on how bad deliveries slow pre-covid pricing could come into play.

@nov22 In reply to nov22. If lower gap support gives away into a $4 handle next week and depending on how bad deliveries slow pre-covid pricing could come into play. As you likely know once a share price drops below $5.00 to $4.99 the 'penny stock' classification will be in play for many pension funds, mutual funds and even some hedge funds. Covenants force them to sell shares b/c they cannot hold 'penny stocks' in their funds.
