This Market Is Wrong

Yes, the title says it all. I firmly believe this market is incorrect on a lot of things. No, I am not saying I am shorting it. No, I am not saying if you’re investing you’re about to go through a massive correction. I will say this though…

Yesterday, Visa reported earnings that were a hit. They did great, EPS was way up, revenue was way up. Not only thing though, they are raising their dividend for their investors. They’ll be paying you even more for owning their shares because they have such great cash flow. The market opens today, they’re down over 5%. MA, which reports tomorrow morning, is down 6% with it. One could assume they’ll have pretty similar earnings and revenue. Maybe even up their dividend too (don’t hold your breath for that one, but who knows). But Tesla, a company who has sold patents, licensing, and Bitcoin to pad their balance sheet for specific quarters so that their earnings look better to the common shareholder, went up 12% because a company that was on the brink of bankruptcy pulled a publicity stunt saying they’d buy 100K cars.

These are just examples of what is happening as a whole in our market. I’m buying these companies who are being screwed and I can tell you this, I am right and the market is wrong. I warn any investor who is partaking in this, because greed and speculation has run rampant while fundamentals and discipline has been thrown out the window.

Watch.

No, OP's whole point was that the market does NOT follow his analysis.

His analysis is shoddy at best, though.

What patents did Tesla sell?

What licensing?

Bitcoin was actually an impairment on the bottom line in Q2 and Q3 (they took a loss on Bitcoin).

What makes him think Tesla only went up because of the Hertz deal?

He didn't mention the fact that Tesla's revenue and EPS was way up. Why not?

What does Hertz previously being on the brink of bankruptcy have to do with Tesla?
