The “investor” profiled at the top of this WSJ article has a TSLA 2025 target of $20,000 ($20T market cap). His $10M+ portfolio is 100% TSLA stock and calls *on margin* ‼️
This could be a thread, but I don’t know what else to say. 🤷♂️
UPDATE: Mr BB is rapidly expanding into “educating” new investors on his success and approach. Quickie YouTube podcast concludes with “we’re *contrarians* here”! 😬🤣
Update ( $TSLA 30% off its highs):
Margin calls welcomed and embraced as the ultimate opportunity to *increase* leverage. 🔥
I mean look at Archegos, right? 🤷♂️

It would be either index funds, or as Carnegie put it, "Put all your eggs in one basket—and watch that basket".
I happened to know a lot about Apple by 2005 & found studying it rewarding.
On bubbles going further than anyone can imagine, and the difficulty of being a value investor or growth skeptic.
Japan 1989 went to 65x trailing P/E!
2/n
Valuations are an extremely poor predictor of bubble pop timing. Acceleration and speculative behavior ("touchy-feely" characteristics) are much better indicators.
