Tesla stock has been up 35% in less than two weeks. Congrats to all her retail investors!

US can't expect the last 2-year Covid-19 pandemic bull run to continue through QE & ultra loose monetary policy. You can't have your cake and eat it too. US inflation is now at 7%, the highest since 1982. More and more countries are also getting disgusted with the US for abusing the USD as an int'l reserve currency. Can expect much volatility going forward with increasing probability of downsides especially with unreasonable high valuations. 

Musk's pronouncement in a Tuesday interview that he is done selling shares. Musk had promised to sell 10% of his stake, which at the time stood at roughly 170 million shares; filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission show that Musk has sold about 13.5 million shares for roughly $14 billion.

Of course it is hard to predict inflation but it shouldn't be difficult to define what it means by inflation is transitory. A deliberate plan to stay ambiguous to shift goalpost

My respect to the Old Man. He has proven beyond doubt to be the best.

US hipocracy, double standards and lies for claiming inflation is transitory despite hitting multi-decade high. 

More volatility to be expected. Today may be inflation. Tomorrow will be interested rate hikes. Next day will be Fed tapering. Next next day will be blamed China, China, China

FED is basically playing with fire to support her political master. US inflation for Nov was 6.8%, highest since 1982. But Biden is still on a mission to print tens of trillions USD

A pot of headlines but according to analysts, the reality is the impact is going to be modest. The usual US talkshow but little action

Don't expect Mr Bull to scale new heights as seen in last year. On the contrary, expect Mr Bear to be on the way. 

US can't expect the last 2-year Covid-19 pandemic bull run to continue through QE & ultra loose monetary policy. You can't have your cake and eat it too. US inflation is now at 7%, the highest since 1982. Fed is now been forced to commence tapering after printing nearly $10 trillion in the last 5 years, increasing the National Debt to around $31.4 trillion. Interest rate hikes is a foregone conclusion. Only a matter of how aggressive the hike will be to mitigate inflation. More and more countries are also getting disgusted with the US for abusing the USD as an int'l reserve currency. Besides, US now having record number of Covid-19 cases. US hegemony against China and Russia is also detrimental for the stock markets.

US IPO market will never be the same again after tens of hundreds of Chinese companies decided not to list there due to US hegemony and anti-China policy. Hong Kong will be the biggest beneficiary

Inflation, inflation, inflation. But US policy makers continue to print more money thinking that inflation will somehow fade away coz employment is up and wages are up. The reality is, prices of most basic necessities are up much more. That was driven home this past week with news that the consumer price index had jumped 0.9% in October, bringing the year-over-year increase to 6.2%, the most in more than three decades.

If Jeremy Grantham is talking about a US ‘superbubble’, we should listen.Grantham’s thesis is that US stocks are in a “superbubble”, an upgrade on last year’s diagnosis of “an epic bubble”, and that the US has seen only three other such extreme events in the past 100 years – the Wall Street crash of 1929, the turn-of-the-millennium dotcom mania and the housing market madness of 2006.

Even coal will continue to play an important part in the generation of electricity in the next 2 decades esp in the developing countries without resources to switch to greener energy
