NIO News
There’s no denying that NIO has tremendous operational momentum today.
The Covid-19 pandemic negatively impacted the company in the first quarter of 2020. But, ever since then, the EV maker has been absolutely on fire. In April, NIO’s delivery trend reversed course, with volumes rising 181% year-over-year as China’s economy started to rebound from the pandemic and the government ramped up EV support.
That was only the beginning.
NIO rattled off 216% delivery volume growth in May, 179% growth in June, 324% growth in July — so on and so forth, all the way to December, creating a stretch of nine straight months of 100%-plus delivery growth.
Why the huge growth surge?
Outside of the fact that China is aggressively supporting EV adoption through huge subsidies, NIO has — through its sleek car designs, top-performance vehicles, swanky marketing campaigns and exclusive branding — cemented itself as the de facto leader in China’s booming premium EV category. Plus, NIO is pioneering a novel Battery-as-a-Service model that allows NIO drivers to rent car batteries (not own them), which significantly reduces the cost of the vehicles.
In other words, NIO is selling the coolest, highest-performance luxury EVs in China at blockbuster prices and at a time when all drivers in China are going electric. It’s no wonder the company is rattling off such huge growth rates, or that NIO stock is flying high.
That’s the good news.
The better news? This growth story is the top of the first inning.

Momentum Indicators
Momentum is a general term used to describe the speed at which prices move over a given time period. Generally, changes in momentum tend to lead to changes in prices. This expert shows the current values of four popular momentum indicators.
Stochastic Oscillator
One method of interpreting the Stochastic Oscillator is looking for overbought areas (above 80) and oversold areas (below 20). The Stochastic Oscillator is 89.8046. This is an overbought reading. However, a signal is not generated until the Oscillator crosses below 80 The last signal was a sell 6 period(s) ago.
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
The RSI shows overbought (above 70) and oversold (below 30) areas. The current value of the RSI is 64.84. This is not a topping or bottoming area. A buy or sell signal is generated when the RSI moves out of an overbought/oversold area. The last signal was a sell 23 period(s) ago.
MACD
The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence indicator (MACD) gives signals when it crosses its 9 period signal line. The last signal was a buy 1 period(s) ago.

AI is the Neat Handwriting of the Illiterate
A model in the hands of someone who has read the filing and walked the plant is a clerk. The same model, speaking for someone who has done neither, is a disguise. On AI slop, phantom citations and factslop, why finish stopped being evidence of work, and the containment layer KXCO built so a machine cannot speak as the institution until a source is attached.
Worthship: Do Not Conform to the Age
Worthship is the older English word for worship, and it means to ascribe worth. Bishop Robert Barron preached Romans 12 on 30 August. This essay follows the text into the prison letters, and puts two questions to a graph: do the four readings of that Sunday agree, and was Paul free or in chains when he wrote about despair?
The Truth in All Its Ugliness Must Survive
A majority vote does not determine the truth. Consensus is a mood, gossip is a sport, and a model will write the pretty version for free. Why the ugly number has to survive, why a record beats a dashboard, and what KXCO was built to keep standing when the room changes its mind.
Don't Be the Best, Be the Only: Winning in an AI World
AI is repricing competence downward. What it cannot reproduce is a life. The case for remaining non-fungible, why friction still produces the best ideas, and what it means to build AI systems that keep the human intellect in them.
