OT: Lets talk about stocks (Part 3)

[Non Player Canadiens]

We've hearing that these things are just right around the corner, "3-4 years away" for at least a decade now.

What is different this time? Any tangible indication it might actually be close?

And how many of these things have to actually materialize for the valuation to make sense? I mean, they're not like one good idea away from making the valuation make sense. It will take multiple entirely new markets for it to nake sense. And then what, they won't have competitors? They'll have monopoly on those markets forever?

Elon is so obviously a fraud, best example of failing upward.

It looks like wishful thinking to me. Pure fantasy even. But good for you if you made money on the stock.

Disclaimer: I still wouldn't short the stock. Market can stay irrational way longer than it makes sense. Especially cult-like stocks.

looks like FSD is rolling out in China and Cali this month, and I agree it's a waiting game. I don't have the balls to short TSLA at these levels, this is when I loaded up last time around. I'm waiting to see how the trade war settles, our firm have sold 90% of our CDN equities at this time, and a lot of US as well.. just sitting in cash for a bit. I'm guessing we are in a recession till the fall

Also people seem to forget that the market isn't the economy. So even if we or the US are headed for a recession, that doesn't necessarily means bad news for stocks.

Things are hard enough to predict when the US leadership is stable, it's pretty much impossible to get a good forecast for the short term now

Don't worry though, they are following the 'plan':

“Markets don’t like uncertainty. Markets like, actually, totalitarian governments… Democracies are very messy.” -Larry Fink, Bloomberg, 2011

Larry Fink is CEO of Black Rock, and has managed both some of Trump's and Musk's investments. Black Rock's major stockholder is Bank of America.

well you didn't think the equity market was based on fair trade and equal information did you? lol

That is entirely not the point.

Should be many bargains on the market before this Tarif war is over.

I've got a diversified portfolio consisting mainly of ETFs and such. That means I can afford to take a little more risk with a very small part of said portfolio.

So does any of you degenerates have some spicy tarifs play that I can research some more before losing money I invest in it?

That may sound sarcastic but I'm really open to buying some individual stocks, even if history tells us I should just buy the index funds.
