Really?
There is something here. Let's adjust it a bit.
Note: I am close to retirement age so I keep two years of cash, all else is largely Tesla with some running experiments (like $2K in ARK, etc).
I too measure the temperature by asking people I respect a lot, that also think highly of themselves, and rightly so, but come from an old school MBA top drawer company trained background. For example, I sent one a tweet that showed the market cap of Tesla was more than all the other auto makers combined. And asked, "Is Tesla overvalued?"
His answer was, "Yes." He is pretty busy.
I processed that as "How blind sided will the general population be when Tesla's performance is known?"
With an answer, "Very blindsided."
That means that the stock is currently way undervalued (value is under recognized).
So I am comparing my a) first hand experience with the product and exposure to Elon's plans to b) the thoughts of the 1st or second-best CEO I have ever experienced. I am not comparing to some Bozo short on Youtube.
So it is good to know where the heart of the market is relative to understanding what Tesla is, and is doing. This can increase conviction as today's prices are determined by
heart of market current perception. The eventual price is determined by financial performance/metrics. The gap is opportunity, for those who care about money.
For me it is an altruistic investment made out of desperation for employment freedom.
I guess that is altruistic. I like what they are doing with my money, and will not hide the money in a hole or give it to some games player.
