Today, on the back of unrealistic assumptions, unwarranted optimism, empty rumours and wild speculations, Tesla became the most valuable carmaker in the world (despite producing 300x fewer cars than its competitors). This inglorious folly won’t last and will make a great case study of market inefficiency and failure.
Most Tesla/Musk fans behave like kult/prophet followers - that is reflected in their rhethotic and the stock price. Even if it makes great cars, the bare fact is that competition is catching up quickly (Tesla is losing EV market share rapidly in EU) and its growth is slowing (only promises and rumours are still growing rapidly). And the current valuations are not justified even with very very optimistic assumptions. But that does not matter for fans, who have no idea what P/E or market cap is.

Seriously? You are well respected analyst in the eyes of public, are you doing other research and publications about finances and economy with the same depth as you just did here about Tesla? Or this is one time mistake? I’m shocked. Btw, I’m also part of kult/prophet as you say of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Alphabet for the last 10 years. Did P/E of Amazon made any sense to you 5 years ago? :) Does it make sense now? I guess not really?
I believe and invest in Tesla.
But 180B valuation in current economical situation looks way too high.
I think people are over-excited with self-driving and robo-taxi idea in a short term. Tesla and/or Vaymo will do self-driving, but not as fast as everyone hopes. I think Tesla have an edge over Vaymo.
Invest in Tesla for a long term 💪

I’m over and out from this thread, sorry guys, time is too expensive for me. But I bought 10 extra TSLA stocks on Swedbank platform at all time high price today and will come back to this topic in 3-5 years with screen shots, etc :) Only time will tell who is right.

At the end of the day, everything boils down to predictions and no predictions are 100 percent accurate and safe from black swan effects. Who knows, maybe in the near future we won't be using cars at all, as we will witness the world at the brink of destruction.
While big boys argue who is the best stock picker I’ve shorted and covered Tesla stock already twice pocketing a nice profit.

Can you teach me how to invest?
Asked by Andrew Lim Mao Tung
Hey Andrew, I can support you by sharing how I learnt to read financial statements and create a story behind securities' valuation methods. But I would rely on people who spent time professionally and have the right credentials to educate about investing.
Two of my favourite bubbles have merged! :)
Bitcoin transactions consume close to 100TWh energy per year, most of it produced in coal-fired plants. It will be harder for Musk to pretend it is all about saving the planet.
But it is not completely unexpected - losing market shares, revenues stagnate, can’t make profit selling cars, what is there left to do? Speculate in cryptocurrencies, of course.
