What does it promise us? What the Year of the Dog has in store for us: Horoscope by zodiac sign
The current week was characterized by a collapse in the shares of the electric vehicle manufacturer.
Over the week, the securities lost about 15%, and this is taking into account Thursday’s rebound of 4%. From the local highs of early March, the drawdown was 28%.
Why did Tesla shares fall?
On Tuesday, it became known that the National Transportation Safety Board has opened an investigation into the crash of a Tesla electric car in California.
The car crashed into a barrier, after which two cars drove into it. Then two lithium batteries exploded in the electric car. As a result, the car itself caught fire.
It is not yet known whether the autonomous driving system (Autopilot) was included in the electric car. Now Tesla intends to check the safety of its products.
Meanwhile, another incident that occurred on January 22 in Los Angeles is being investigated. At that time the autopilot was turned on.
Almost at the same time, Moody's cut Tesla's credit ratings to even more speculative levels - the corporate rating to B3 and the unsecured note rating to Caa1. The rating agency's forecast is negative.
Tesla's financial difficulties
Moody's explains the revision of the ratings by the insufficient level of production of the new Model 3 electric car. Tesla is clearly not following the planned schedule. Initially, it was planned to produce 5,000 Model 3 per week at the end of 2017, and 10,000 electric vehicles at the end of 2018. Now it is planned to enter production by the end of March production of only 2500 units per week.
Another point is that the company is experiencing liquidity problems. It consistently generates negative free cash flows (FCF, operating flow minus capex).

Tesla is a loss-making enterprise with high capital expenditures. To finance investment projects, it has to borrow money.
The company's debt burden has reached $10.3 billion. The debt-to-equity ratio is 243%. At the same time, bonds account for about $7.5 billion. The stock of cash and equivalents on the balance sheet is $3.4 billion.

At the same time, $230 million of bonds must be repaid in November 2018, and another $920 million of securities expire in March 2019.
In such conditions, an additional issue of Tesla shares is extremely likely, which means capital dilution. Moody's estimates the required issuance at more than $2 billion at the current capitalization of $47 billion.
Tesla's bonds experienced a sell-off amid Tuesday's announcements, and bond yields soared accordingly. Thus, the company may experience difficulties in attracting new debt and refinancing old ones.
Let’s not forget about the upcoming high competition in the industry. Volkswagen, General Motors and other traditional auto giants are actively investing in the production of electric vehicles.
2016 is the year of the Fire Monkey. It is clear from everything that she is an artistic and capricious person, a great dreamer and adventurer. The Monkey's actions are unpredictable and change depending on her mood: she can be kind and cheerful, or aggressive and angry. After the calm Goat, we will have to get used to the new mistress of the year for some time.
As you know, each zodiac sign is given its own path - special and unique. Let's find out what the stars promise us in this bright year of 2016: who should improve their health, and who should have financial affairs, who will have luck in climbing the career ladder, and who will meet their love.

According to the Chinese calendar, New Year does not occur on January 1st. This date changes every time, so it is important to learn how to calculate the time of the Eastern New Year on your own.
The reason for the shift in the date of 2017 is that in China and neighboring countries, the New Year is celebrated based on the behavior and condition of the Moon. The lunar calendar will help you track the lunar phases.
When is the Year of the Rooster coming?
2017 is just around the corner. It will come on January 28th. This suggests that until January 28, the Fire Monkey will still be relevant. Many people think that the year of the Red or Fire Rooster will begin on January 1, but this is a common misconception.
To learn how to independently calculate the date of the Eastern New Year, you will need a lunar calendar: from it you will find out when the New Moon will be after December 21. December 21 is the winter solstice, which marks the longest night of the year in the northern hemisphere.
So, after December 21, two New Moons must pass. On the second New Moon, the New Year begins to be celebrated in China. The fifteen-day celebration ends with the Lantern Festival.
The patron animal changes directly on the second New Moon after December 21st. In 2017, according to the Chinese horoscope, the Rooster will take the place of the Monkey.
What does the Year of the Rooster promise us?
It is worth noting that in their moods the Rooster and the Monkey are very similar. The Rooster is not so restless, but no less creative. This year can be very successful for everyone who is engaged in areas that require large intellectual investments.
The Rooster loves to be admired, so be careful with delusions of grandeur. Try not to let high self-esteem cloud your judgment. This can be dangerous both in love and in work. If you don’t want people to turn away from you in the year of the Red Rooster, then always be modest and restrained on the outside. There are five elements in Chinese philosophy: fire, wood, metal, earth and water. The Fire Rooster is an excellent combination in the Chinese horoscope, which tells us that this year we should forget about feelings and emotions. Love, hate, contempt, rage - don't hold back any of it, but be careful, because your colleagues, friends and loved ones may interpret it in their own way. It will not be easy to receive forgiveness in the year of the Rooster, and especially the Year of the Fire. This suggests that you will also have difficulties with this, so try to forget the grievances as quickly as possible.
Try to realize all your most ambitious plans in business, work and, of course, love, because the next such favorable year will come only in 60 years. The Chinese sincerely believe that patron animals give us their strength. Accept it with dignity.
On January 28, don’t forget to make a wish before the Fire Rooster comes into force. Our thoughts already have enormous energy potential, and in the coming year they will be even stronger. Good luck to you, and don't forget to press the buttons and

It is better not to refuse the help of friends, otherwise there is a risk of missing your chance.
Aquarius. Creative endeavors and changes in life will accompany Aquarius over the next year. At times, signs may become disappointed in what is happening, but after a short break they return to hard work. Financial problems are expected. Astrologers advise not to lose your grip and confidently move towards your goal.

It is recommended to refrain from too violent expression of emotions, but at the same time give free rein to your own “I”. For a very long time, Leos were imprisoned by their own doubts.

Aries. You will have to face the harsh reality, destroying your own illusions. Shadows from the past may begin to haunt Aries. The best solution is to let go of what happened before and start a new life. It is necessary to pay more attention to health and relaxation.
