Stock prices are 100% about sentiment. Chart theory is 100% about sentiment - ie hurd mentality. Good companies can languish with a P/E of 5 for decades. Crap companies can go to the moon, and all spots in between. There are good companies and good stocks, and there sometimes the same but not always.

The problem of course if figuring out the difference between what the public is saying and what the big money guys are buying.

Not to be political, but ETFs are being approved to track those with with possible inside info.

$NANC
"That ticker is a reference to Pelosi, according to one outfit involved in the new ETFs, Unusual Whales. The California Democrat ranked as the eighth-biggest trader last year among Congress’s more than 500 members, with an estimated $12 million in buys and no sells, MarketWatch reported in January."

$KRUZ
"The other ETF would have the ticker KRUZ and would track the equities held by Republican lawmakers or their spouses, the filing said. That ticker is a reference to GOP Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, according to Unusual Whales. Cruz appears to have made only two trades in the past three years, according to Capitol Trades data, and he reportedly has considered introducing his own bill that would ban congressional buying and selling of stocks."

I think by the time official trading reports are released, every quarter IIRC, it might be too late to buy in as these individuals have the right timing. Knowing who's getting the gov't contract or what legislation will affect which company before hand is the play.

Who cares what happened 120 years ago ... doesn't mean it's cool and the "norm" now. ;) Fact is, multi-family households have been ever increasing like the data shown in my referenced link, and the reasons why are in the linked articles provided.

Reversion to historic norms. Vastly different concept than you’re saying.

For other time tested reasons besides very recent trends after they cut down forests and plowed over fields and built housing everywhere.

Child care is expensive. Elder care is expensive. Both need a lot of time and money that most folks don’t have. Has precious little to do with what is cool, and everything to do with what is practical, especially with high wealth disparity.

Frankly data since 1971 is almost irrelevant. Certainly isn’t relevant to my point. The trends of people living apart, including geographically far apart had already been increasing for decades before, especially since ww2. What happened for hundreds of years if not millennia before is the baseline, not 1971. Reversion to normal behaviors means trends from the mid 20th century are just kind of a blip in time.

I see your point, but perhaps it is a little excessive?
The stock market is speculation; a bet on if valuation will go up or down, and when.

Just what is the "norm"? The "norm" is a constant moving target., and the "norm" today w/r to multi generation households has been changing for the last 50 years as shown by the info I previously linked. You got better data going back 200+ years that shows your claim?

I‘m no Elon hater, I just want him to stop wasting time on Twitter arguing and focus 100% on Tesla.

Tesla is a good company that needs to make the Cyber Truck and next model refresh.

Yes, I’m happy for some people who have taken a bath in Tesla stock. It’s now down 50% off it’s high. Hopefully it can climb back 100% and be even with two years ago.

At what point will you sell? Or did you sell to cut loses? Do you own the stock? Did you buy it at 100, 200, 300, or 400?

Why do you say Elon haters??
We talk stocks here.
Call me crazy but what is to love about a stock selling at half the price then it was two years ago or less!?!
Certainly you do not expect praise for a beaten up stock for the last few years do you?

What does Twitter have to do with anything?

They actually revised core CPI up by 0.1% for both December and November. Doesn't sound like much but it really means core CPI is 1.2% hotter than thought - on an annual basis. They announced when the superbowl was on - by coincidence I am certain.

And yesterday they announced quietly they will be opening up the strategic petroleum reserve again.

BTFD?
