The Wall Street General

Billionaire investor Ron Baron of Baron Capital remains bullish on Tesla, despite the stock falling more than 50% this year. In a recent interview, Baron told CNBC that he expects Tesla to deliver outsized gains, eventually leading them toward a $4.5 Trillion valuation. Tesla's stock will have to reach a price of $1350 to reach that kind of level. Or rise by more than 570-600% Baron has been a bull on Tesla ever since his fund started buying Tesla shares back in 2014 and his personal holdings and his company' add up to a massive $4 Billion holding in Tesla. In addition to that, Baron mentioned that he thinks Tesla stock will be around $500- $600, and in eight to ten years, "it ought to be somewhere around $4.5 Trillion". The math behind Baron's bullish valuation target is solely predicted by Tesla's ability to scale its business over the next decade. Selling about 20 million cars per year. Tesla is on track to sell just over 1 million vehicles in 2022. "I...

These companies together lost a market cap of $350 Billion combined. Google and Microsoft led the downfall when Google reported $57 Billion in revenue which was slightly lower than expected and their year-over-year growth rate fell to 6% which has been the slowest since June 2020. YouTube's revenue fell for the first time. Google's stock fell by more than 9% on the day it reported their earnings Microsoft then contributed to the downfall when on the same day, the company had reported good numbers but then it was the company's next-quarter guidance that led to the sell-off.

 In the last Q3 earnings call, Elon Musk mentioned that for the first time ever, he sees a potential for Tesla to be worth more than Apple and Saudi Aramco combined. For context, those are the world's two biggest companies worth a total of $4.35 Trillion. The market and many investors see Musk's comment as ludicrous. His exact words were, "Tesla can far exceed Apple's current market cap" he added, "I can see a potential path for Tesla to be worth more than Apple and Saudi Aramco combined. Doesn't mean it will happen overnight or it will be easy but for the first time I can see a way for Tesla to be roughly twice the value of Saudi Aramco" As mentioned above, a lot of investors think that this assumption of Musk is quite crazy but only a few know that back in 2015,  he made a similar prediction  when he said Tesla would be worth $700 Billion by 2025. Tesla ended up being worth $700 Billion by December 2020. 5 years earlier than predicted. Tesla curren...

What is the number 1 factor which affects your success in the financial markets, especially the stock market, you might think it is research, studies, theories, etc. Well, in order to generate good returns over a period of time, you do need to possess good skills in all of the above. Still, the most crucial factor in deciding whether you will be a successful investor is Perception. The good old perception. It is necessary to research, back your company with good reasonings, and have a strong philosophy while investing in it, but more than that it is the perception that will define whether you make money or not Perception in simple words is the way you look at things, your perspective and point of view on certain things.

 Tesla reported its earnings a few days back and while it did show pretty good numbers, its revenues were not up to the mark for the analysts on Wall Street.  Tesla posted a $21.45 Billion Revenue v/s $22.09 expected EPS was $1.05 v/s $1.01 Shares of the EV giant fell by more than 5% after the company announced its results, but they said that the company still expects a 50% average annual growth rate on its vehicle deliveries. In addition to that, Tesla is facing headwind over its year to year benchmarks and because of inefficiencies at Giga Berlin and the strengthening dollar, the sales abroad are being impacted as well. Not to mention the ongoing supply chain issue.  Despite these roadbumps, Wall Street has an average price target of $307 for Tesla and a high of $530. The company still leads the world's transition to EV's and clean energy.
