    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    The last time TSLA started a big breakout was at beginning of 2022 when its PE Ratio dropped to 34. It is getting back in that range (37 today). Simply one datapoint to consider.

    What a bunch of idiots. And I'm not talking about Fisker, which was simply over ambitious, trying to run before they could walk, and fell hard. Look at the news release from the fools at Investing.com. Really?! I really don't think the Market knows a strawberry from a banana.

    I went to the Market today to buy some strawberries. Much to my surprise, they were 50% off. Others in the produce section were skeptical to put strawberries in their basket because they thought the low price must mean something was wrong with them. Were the strawberries passed their expiry...

    Not the strong year end finish we were hoping for TSLA. However, perspective, up 130% for the year. If we are up only half that percentage in 2024 we will be back to all time high. A lot in the Tesla pipeline. Exciting times. Wishing all a happy and healthy 2024.
