Apple Would be Crazy Not to Buy Tesla for This Reason Alone
by James DiGeorgia |
Dear Subscriber,
Apple (AAPL) is an insanely profitable company — so profitable that one of CEO Tim Cook's main headaches is taking care of his mammoth cash hoard.
My suggestion for Apple: Use some of that spare change to buy electric car manufacturer Tesla Motors (TSLA).
If Cook won't do it ... you might consider buying Tesla yourself. Today I'll tell you why, and how.
Tesla on Track to Take Over 2 Sectors!
Tesla founder Elon Musk thinks big. If his vision becomes reality, he could bankrupt most utility companies and cripple the world's oil industry.
Meanwhile, all his opponents can think about is a handful of fires in his company's expensive battery-powered sports cars.
In fact, the statistics indicate the Tesla Model S is far safer than most conventional vehicles. There were 250,000 automobile fires in the United States in 2012. In 2013, we're on track to see the same number.
Tesla suffered just three car fires in 2013, in which no one was injured or killed.
The overwhelming bad press over the three fires contributed to a $65 drop in the company's share price, which is currently in the $125 range.
The Real Reason Tesla Has a Target on its Back
A frustrated Tesla actually requested the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigate the fires. Musk believes the bad press is disproportionate to reality. On the company's blog, Musk said he requested the NHTSA probe to counter "false perceptions."
Tesla is already updating its suspension software to allow greater ground clearance at highway speeds. (Like other high-performance cars, the Tesla Model S automatically lowers its frame to improve handling and aerodynamics.)
Elon Musk is putting Tesla's money on the line, too. He said if the NHTSA suggests any safety improvements, the company "will immediately apply that change to new cars and offer it as a free retrofit to all existing cars."
Even more boldly, Tesla is enhancing its warranty to cover fire damage even if the driver is at fault!
Does anyone really believe that Ford (F), General Motors (GM) or Toyota (TM) are confident enough in their vehicles to react like this to only three car fires in a single year? No, of course not!
So if the fire risk is imaginary, why did Tesla shares fall so sharply the past several weeks? Here's my guess ...
The infectious enthusiasm of Elon Musk, plus his ability to bring breakthrough technologies to market, is threatening both the gasoline engine and the electric utility companies.
Elon Musk has a giant target on his back. That's what happens when you challenge entrenched, powerful industries.
Most people misread what Musk is doing. Tesla cars are only one piece of a bigger puzzle. They are simply one application of his renewable energy vision. He intends to make solar energy economically feasible and generate trillions of dollars in savings worldwide.
Those trillions will come at the direct expense of oil and utility companies.
18 in a Row!
Tthe S&P 500 is having one of its best years in decades, but the most you could hope for is 25% for the YEAR.
Meanwhile, my "Alpha Intelligence" Indicator just closed its 18th-straight winning trade in the past eight weeks, showing my readers over 334% in cumulative gains!

'It's the Batteries, Stupid!'
The main reason solar energy is not widespread is the lack of reliable, efficient battery storage. If you could collect enough energy with solar panels to run your home for a month or more — and then store it in a battery — you would not need your electric company.
Elon Musk is a major investor in SolarCity Corp. (SCTY), a Silicon Valley solar installer. SolarCity takes the lithium-ion batteries Tesla makes for its cars and sells them to California homeowners. The batteries store energy from rooftop solar panels to power homes at night.
This emerging technology could eventually let millions of Californians disconnect from the state's three big electric companies. If it works in California, it can work anywhere!
Look what Musk is doing to two huge industries.

Widespread solar storage will force electric utilities to cut rates — and could eventually kill their business completely.
Economical electric vehicles — whose batteries recharge from the sun — will sharply reduce demand for fossil fuels.
Right now, Tesla makes only about 36,000 cars a year. Many auto analysts discount the company's upside potential. They argue that Ford and Toyota will outpace Tesla with their own electric and hydrogen-powered cars.
I think those analysts miss the point.
Apple's Energy Synergy
What does this have to do with Apple?
Simple: Batteries are the single-weakest link in Apple's mobile devices. Through Tesla and SolarCity, Musk will soon solve that problem.
For $20 billion or less, Apple could buy both Tesla and SolarCity at their current market prices and take control of the solar revolution. Apple could be the world's first multitrillion-dollar company.
My partner and fellow Uncommon Wisdom Daily contributor Geoff Garbacz will analyze Tesla for you this coming Thursday. Geoff will tell you when — and what price — to buy TSLA shares.
I believe Tesla will double in price several times over the next five years. Only two things could conceivably stop it ...
One would be if the big energy or utility players somehow remove Elon Musk from the equation. The second is if Apple steps in.
If that happens, Apple will dominate the world in ways Steve Jobs never imagined in his wildest dreams.
Good luck and best wishes,
James DiGeorgia
P.S. The S&P 500 is having one of its best years in decades, but that's nothing compared to the gains my "Alpha Intelligence" Indicator is spinning off. In the past 8 weeks of trading, we've batted 18-for-18!
