Tesla Included In SP500?

  1. Could mark a big market top. Such a "monumental event" thingy has happened before. Remember AOL & Time Warner?

    FWIW...

    But but but Robinhood didn't exist then
     
  3. That's part of the dynamic.

    When the world gets over its love affair with Tesla (not-all-that-great quality cars, not all that cost-efficient to run them*, not all that great environmentally beneficial, not all that great value for what they cost... and at sky-high valuation/price of the stock)... lots of room on the downside.

    (I understand... "0-60 in <3 seconds" has its appeal.)

    * Saw a story just today where the cost of "juicing up" at a Tesla Supercharger station is greater than the cost of petrol to run a BMW 335i for the same number of miles

    Yes. Starting Dec. 21. Would be good to have some volatility especially if the b**** wants to levy a transaction tax.

    We won't have an actual top, as opposed to a pause/dip, until markets fear the Fed will tighten policy.

    Large cap indices are fixing to get marked up to 50x-100x pre-pandemic PEs (earnings yield of 1-2%). And once that happens, "growth" and story stocks like TSLA will probably accelerate even further since there's obviously no point bidding up a no-growth defensive stock priced at 100x earnings.

    Lots of people have called "the biggest bubble of all time" but they invariably under-estimate just how big it can get...

    This. It's happened before. It will happen again. Each and every time it's new and unheard of.

    Everyone knows it's a bubble but people were calling it already 2014... I am certainly no better. The fact I feel comfortable going long now is worrying though :D

    Not just the hint of Fed tightening, but well into the cycle of hiking. 2013's taper tantrum was an amazing year for equities.
