Elon says he is selling Tesla stock to pay taxes, but he has sold far more than is necessary to pay off his taxes. The fact that the founder/CEO (who presumably has unparalleled access to insider information) is doing so should be a huge warning to anyone not blinded by the Tesla hype.

Only reason it's still alive is that Grab has been burning billions of dollars for years without any lasting benefit. Undifferentiated products in sectors with no barriers to entry. Doomed to fail once SoftBank finally decides to pull the plug.

Very pessimistic on Grab. They are facing massive competition in every sector they are in, and compared to their competitors their offerings are either undifferentiated (ride hailing, food delivery) or downright inferior (finance).Every new sector they expand to just brings even more competitors for them. What's worst is all of these competitors are largely focused on a single sector (e.g. ride hailing - gojek, food delivery - food panda/deliveroo, finance - banks), and can devote all of their resources to defending their market share while Grab's resources are spread out.Some people see this involvement in multiple sectors as a good thing due to network effects, I see it as a sign of desperation as they are not able to be profitable in any sector. As a Grab user myself, I can safely

I can't decide whether the Tesla fanboys are delusional or naive - do they really think the musk would sell his own shares if he didn't think they were overvalued?

It's a bubble. Isn't the first, definitely wouldn't be the last. Still, retail (and indeed, institutional) investors are not always rational and it may be a long time before it finally bursts. You don't want to be left holding the bag when that happens. "Invest" if you like, but don't put everything in it. And definitely don't trade on margins with this counter.

I don't think bitcoin is anything like gold. Gold is valuable as it taps into every human's innate desire to show off their wealth. 3 traits allow it to do so - it is eyecatching (sparkly and shiny), easy to wear (jewelry) and credible (if you wear it, you show ownership over it). Bitcoin has none of these traits - it only exists virtually (so you can't attract attention or show it off) and isn't credible (anyone can claim to own it, impossible to verify).

Always ask yourself what someone is trying to achieve when they make statements like this. The fact is that it's impossible for anyone to predict with any certainty where the market will head next. A healthy degree of skepticism is always good.

I really wouldn't put Pfizer in the same group as Apple, Amazon, and the like. What makes those stocks really strong are the lack of scaling costs (meaning they can scale up easily), and strong network effects leading to high barriers of entry (no one can easily compete with them). Pfizer doesn't have any of these advantages, it's recent performance is largely driven by the covid pandemic - which is temporary by nature.

Fully agree. It's very naive to think that prices can only ever go up. Many new investors like to claim they have "diamond hands", without ever having experienced a true financial crisis. I truly wonder how many of them will continue with that when it really hits (anyone remembers how bad it was in 2008?)

The problem with Tesla is that with the shares being as expensive as they are, pretty much everything has to go perfectly moving forward. There is no room for any missteps as the expectation of future success has already been reflected in the share price.I feel that this is something most Tesla bulls misunderstand. No one is disputing that Tesla is (at least for now) the most prolific EV company, and is involved in many industry sectors with high potential growth. The question really is, is this expectation of future potential earnings really worth the eye-watering valuations that the market has assigned it?

I would take anything said by so-called "celebrities" with a huge handful of salt. They could easily just be manipulating the price for their own personal gain. After all crypto markets are completely unregulated and there are no penalties for such actions which would be frowned upon in other asset classes.For those who do decide to buy in, do your own homework and don't invest your money simply because someone famous has said good things about it.

A zero sum game. Retail traders more likely than not to make losses.

Very overvalued as anyone who has done any serious research can see. Still, many people will buy in on the hype so potential for profits so long as you don't get too greedy.

Great
