Does anybody else share my sort of shell-shock WRT Tesla? I'm one of those who thinks its stock (and probably all the big tech names) are in a bubble. But whenever I say that I get shouted down, downvoted, told I'm an idiot, etc. I'm hoping this comment is vanilla enough to be safe... just curious if others have had the same experience. To be clear: I'm not interested in debating the value of Tesla. I'm curious if ot…

we are in global pandemic, were a lot of people lost jobs, or quality of life decreased.

Despite this stock market is doing well.

The only conclusion I can see is that the stock market is completely decoupled from real life. Biggest parties participating in it are completely unaffected by reality of majority of population.

The same people who are rabidly shouting bitcoin is a pyramid scheme are buying stock of companies not because they trust its a good business model, but because its a a unicorn that will 2x in value for quick sale profit.

Tesla produces real things, yes, any they have already driven change in the car industry. But even if Tesla displaces all other carmakers, which isn't likely, there is a total limit to the car market. Another reason to tell why Tesla's stock is in bubbly conditions is the timing. Why is it soaring up right now? Is there some event that makes it more likely that people buy cars? No. The current events actually point t…

I have no idea whether or not Tesla's stock is over-priced. However, it is definitely more than an auto company. It has a solar division, and it make electricity storage systems for home and utilities. Also, there are strong indications it is about to go into manufacturing li-ion cells. It seems to me it is quite possible that at some point it will be worth a trillion. Let me add it is interesting that people who say…

If it is widely known, then there is no money to be made

I'm longterm bullish on Tesla, even if I think that in the short run the stock is overvalued. Take a look at the Tesla Semi, for example. This thing is going to change road based logistics big time. More energy efficient. Wired in for full self-driving once the AI gets there. Once those things start coming off the line they're going to disrupt an entire global industry. That's just one of their vehicles.

Good point, so maybe that's their motive.

It seems very strange; can a share not be worth less than 1 cent, or can it for ask but not bid?

It can be "worth" less than 1 cent. That simply means if you put in an offer at 1 cent, nobody will buy it, because they think it's worth less.

I meant if the bid-ask spread must be minimum 1 cent, then is it true that bid can't be lower than 1 cent as long as ask is semipositive?
