Hobby Attitude is the one! The final tally came in with 63% of the votes for Hobby Attitude. I have started an outline for the book and will update you from time to time on my plans and progress. Thanks for your interest.


One of Elon Musk’s companies, Tesla, is on a roll. There have been many skeptics and short sellers of the Tesla stock. 2019 was predicted by many to be a disastrous year for Tesla, but it wasn’t. Shares of the electric-car maker have gained almost 30 percent year to date. The market capitalization of Tesla is $78 Billion, more than twice that of Ford. Model 3 consumer demand and profitability are looking good. When I first drove my wife’s Model 3, I was sure it would be a winner. It accelerates like a jack rabbit and has a range of more than 300 miles. The amazing thing about it is all the things it doesn’t have. No transmission. No fluids except for windshield wiper. No engine with hundreds of parts. No muffler or tailpipe. Etc. The profitability of a $50,000 Model 3 has got to be impressive. Analysts are now saying Tesla should easily make its target of between 360,000 and 400,000 vehicles for 2019. That would mean a 45 percent to 65 percent increase from last year.


Apple has now reached a market capitalization of $1.3 Trillion. Who would have thought Apple would become worth ten times the market cap of IBM?
