The Wall Street General

 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. Specifically, in the stock markets, there are two types of investors. Pessimists and Optimists.  When the market dips or even crashes, the pessimists are the ones who panic sell, are usually in fear, and don't invest at all but on the other hand,  the  op...

 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. 

Netflix, Inc. The world-famous streaming company crushed its earning expectations after it reported its earnings on 18 Oct after the market closed. The company posted an EPS of $3.10 vs $2.13 per share Revenues were $7.93 Billion vs $7.83 Billion  Netflix added 2.41 million subscribers vs 1.09 million The stock was up 14% after hours after it closed on Tuesday. This has been a rough year for Netflix as well, the stock is down a massive 60% YTD thanks to poor earnings in the previous quarter and the recent market downfalls. It was down 65% from its all-time high in October 2021.  This surely brings in more investor confidence, both in the markets and the company as well. The Dow and Nasdaq futures shot up as much as 2% following the company's reports. This week has started off well for investors and they hope it remains the same. Other big tech companies like Tesla, Apple, and Alphabet report their earnings in a few days as well. These crucial days could set the tone for the m...

Of course, it's a matter of worry when we see our portfolio in red and when the markets are down 30% year to date. Yes, it sucks to see your portfolio at shallow levels but guess what you cannot do much about it. All you can do is wait back, invest more, and simply wait for the markets to go up. Yeah, that's pretty much all you can do. Selling right now is probably something that should not be your concern, unless it's an emergency, etc. And all of us investors have already survived 10 months!! 10 months in this bear market, so why not just hold on to a little more. By now you should know that the markets will  always  go up in the long term. They will  always.  Looking at your portfolio or the markets just at a glance works but if you are continuously sitting behind a screen and analyzing and judging where the market is going every single time, then you should probably consider taking some time away. It's really dangerous when you let your emotions come in the way. ...

We all have heard of Tesla's affordable and luxury cars, long-awaited cyber truck, and their Optimus robot which was revealed a week back. But do you remember the Semi Truck which they launched back in 2017? well if you don't then this is what it looks like. Pretty huge right? This was unveiled back in 2017 when the man himself Elon Musk revealed the concept model to the world. The production is underway and it is starting to speed up by the end of this October.  This has not been made available to the general public, however, Tesla is still taking up corporate orders.  Elon Musk tweeted that Pepsico (the soft drinks company) will take the deliveries of their semi trucks in December.  Tesla claims that the Semi Trucks will provide a range of more than 500 miles / 804 km on a single charge and in addition to that, drivers or companies can save more than $200,000 over a period of 5 years compared to the fuel consumption they would have done if they were still using regular...
