The stock market thread Part II

There's touching a hot stove, and then there's willingly leaving your hand there while the skin melts and flesh cooks.
The turning on the adjacent burner and leaning your face onto it. This was disastrous with the Tariff of Abominations and it was disaster with Smoot Hawley. Every hundred years or so.
 
It's hard to understand Tesla's stock price.

Earnings per share attributable to common stockholders (past 12 months, non-diluted) is $1.74. The stock currently trades for $284.95. The P/E ratio of 163 implies tremendous growth. But their Q1 revenue is down 9% year over year, their gross margin percentage is down, while their operating expenses are up. And, without getting into politics, the CEO has spent the past few months alienating the core demographic for their product.

I realize Tesla has been overvalued based on "traditional" metrics for several years now, but the stock price has only increased since their terrible Q1 results were released.
 
looking into investing in some stocks for non 401k / Roth IRA purposes. I have a SoFi account set up but I don't feel right investing in this market with obvious fears about tarrifs and the economy. when the market is more stable I might dab
