So Tesla is dead money. at least that's what mainstream media wants you to think now. Also, we have Kramer saying it's no longer part of the Magnificent 7 I didn't know Kramer had the authority to add or remove companies from the Magnificent 7. Whatever that means, we have Intel diving into the dumpster.

We also have Microsoft laying off 2,000 employees and we have Alibaba basically coming back from the rubble Like a Phoenix From the Ashes and the US economy is actually doing way way better than anybody has anticipated. All while China and the rest of that part of the world is basically going into the toilet. Now let's start with Tesla first because as I mentioned, you know I start my days thinking about Tesla and paler and I'm sure that if you're here on the channel, you're pretty much the same now. look I want to keep these videos brief and short? so let's cut to the chase.

So we have this clip from CNBC in which some very smart lady talks about how Tesla is dead money. Let me play with the clip. So I think it will be dead money over the next couple months once things settle I'm long-term bullish on the name I think the manufacturing prowess is is in incredible but right now you really just can't touch this name because I think the sellers will continue now I have one rule which is do not try to time the freaking Market It's as simple as that. It's not complicated and it's quite straightforward.

There's no point in trading this stock. It's crazy. It's going to punish you like an ex-girlfriend Out of Hell buy and ha long term don't like the company anymore. Sell it.

Buy a different company you like better. Simple as that when they try and actually pick up Pennies from the train tracks, eventually the train is going to hit you and T is one hell of a train you don't want to be hit by. This is currently in the middle of a very very Shameless campaign to smear all over Tesla and Elon Musk and you can see it mainstream media every single day. and just to show you what it looks like you have Kramer today saying that Tesla is no longer part of the Magnificent 7 The Great: Kramer who told you to buy bur Stns and told you to actually invest in Bur Terand and told you to buy DED Global The Great: Kramer is now saying that Tesla is a bad idea.

you can see it on CNBC and again I Don't know if this is intentional or just like Pavlovian reaction to bad earnings I Don't know I Couldn't care less when I see Kramer talking bad mad about Tesla I Get excited honestly. but it also tells me there's something going on here on the street. I Was looking at CNBC yesterday and they had a slide up talking about the results of the earnings call and they literally had misinformation there. For example, that slide shows that Tesla said the delivery numbers for 20124 will be lower when in fact, in the call they said the growth will be slower again.

Semantics and it really really is a tiny change, but it makes a huge difference. Another thing we saw that slide was that the Chinese are coming for Tesla. That's what Tesla said No. Tesla said that the Chinese is coming from the big three for the GS and the fors of the world.

they're not ready again. Little semantic changes that causes fear. When do you think institutional investors are buying Tesla stock? You think they buying it 300? No, they're buying it when there's plenty of blood and fear in the water they don't buy at the peak they buy. Now when everybody's scared and running for the hills.

I'm not telling you to buy Tesla by no means I'm just saying that the time to buy is where there's blood on the streets. especially if that blood is yours. Think about what happens to Tesla when they actually sell that $25,000 car. Think about the ramp of the Cyber truck.

Think about the FSD in which they got Monopoly Think about the robotics, the engineering, the energy, the endless amounts of scures they have lying around on the floor like a piece of duct tape. You really believe this compan is going to stagnate itself into a slow, painful death. I Don't think so. but again, each their own.

my own opinion. Doing research? This ain't Financial Advice Now let's move on to Microsoft. So Microsoft just laid off 1,900 employees in its gaming unit and everybody's talking about the Fear Factor Everybody's scared the gaming industry is in trouble. the interest rates are killing startups Tech is and Jeopardy, etc etc.

All this massive fear campaign going on when in fact, it's nothing of sorts. Now, obviously, there's problems, especially in the tech industry, especially in startups when interests are high. However, it's not as bad as it seems. The simple truth of what's going on with Microsoft is this was well expected when Microsoft decided to buy Activision That merger was done to create synergies among other things.

Obviously they had other agendas, but the idea was, let's combine and merge so we can get rid of these 2,000 employees. We don't no longer need Think about it this way. when Microsoft and Activis decided to merge, by definition, a number of jobs will be eliminated because they exist in both companies. That's exactly what happens.

That's the idea of synergy. unfortunately. Synergy means getting laid off for some people. But again, we're talking about a company that knows what they're doing.

Microsoft is up 63% on the year, up 300% on the 5year. They know what the hell they're doing I wouldn't be criticizing them so lightly. Now is there reason to panic in the gaming industry In the tech industry? In the startups? Not really, since we seem to be at the tail end of this restrictive monetary policy. However, you know Microsoft cutting some jobs and other companies are laying off as well.

It's a sign that it's about time for the FED to start pivoting back into a little bit more reasonable interest rate, which they seem to have decided to do later in 2024 according to all predictions. But we'll see how this plays out now. let's talk about Alibaba This is a fascinating story. So Alibaba is on the rise after a very, very long winter up 10% because Jackma bought $50 million worth of shares.

Now whenever a founder or a CEO or both. By the way, he's no longer the CEO but he's still a huge shareholder of the company. He got kicked out by the Chinese government. So whenever a a significant person in the company buys a huge chunk of shares like that, it's a huge Vault of confidence.

You know, for the retail investors it's a sign that they believe in the company we have Anthony Noto from Sofi do the same thing and it proved itself obviously right. So you have a lot of euphoria. a lot of people follow Jack mine to the stock because he actually put his own money on the line. However, I have to cool the Jets here a little bit because it's a very unique situation.

This ain't Sofi Number one I'm not even sure that Juck Ma was actually the guy who bought this I know I have my theories about the Chinese having his you know fingerprint or something I don't know I'm just kidding. I'm kidding. Let's assume he bought it, so assuming he bought it, it shows that he has a lot of confidence in company. But the problem with Alibaba never was a quality of the company.

The quality of the company is great. The alib Babas of the world are not plentiful. There's not a lot of companies like that. Alibaba is great.

No issues with the company itself. however. However, the problem is that Alibaba is located in geography where the government really will do anything to destroy you just because they feel like it. That's why the stock dropped from $300 to $75 Not because it's a bad company, not because it's unprofitable, because the Chinese government is arbitrary, unexpected, and absolutely maniacally crazy.

You never know what they going to do. They imploded DD Global They imploded. They've stopped the IPOs All this heck that's going on in China is basically a risk nobody can quantify. Nobody wants anywhere near this.

and that's why this stock is down from $375 Ask yourself this question: Will JMA buying 50 million Solve the problem. Would Jackma buying $150 Million worth of stock? Solve this problem. No, you can't solve the Alibaba problem without taking Alibaba out of China which at this point seems a little bit unfeasible, but we'll talk about it in another day. now.

The US economy keeps growing at rates that are quite surprising. This time we have a 3.3% pace for the fourth quarter, which is absolutely terrific. And there's a reason why the United States is the most resilient, the strongest, and the best economy in the world, and why it would remain so in the foreseeable future at least: In Our Lifetime. You see, as long as the United States hold the reserve currency status for the dollar, they get to get away with a lot of crap other countries can't.

Turkey is one example. Turkeyy is now at 70% inflation and 45% interest rates because they don't get to print the world's money. Obviously, you don't want to bet against this economy, but how can you benefit from it? Well, look the strength of the US economy. The strength of the US dollar is very, very simple to utilize.

In fact, it requires zero effort. Just buy the S&P 500. Buy the US economy and hold it for decades. Make money, go home and don't ever think about it.

Quite simple. Now let's talk about Intel. So what happened with Intel is actually very interesting. So Intel went through this metamorphosis.

They brought back Pat Ginger who came in and basically decided to change the entire business model. So Intel was losing to AMD to Nvidia to a bunch of other companies and theyve decid Ed to Pivot away from the previous visions of world dominance into competition with Tsmc Intel Said to himself, look we still have factories. We're not fabulous, so let's utilize that. Let's make good of it.

which isn't a bad plan when you think about it. The problem is, it takes years and years and years to get done. And right now we just saw this in the earnings. The earnings came out, they were abysmal.

The stock dropped 10% So what's going on here? So obviously the PC market when Intel makes a lot of its bread still haven't fully recovered. On top of it, the whole core server business that they have is basically gone because Nvidia took it all Nvidia is now in the process of basically selling to everybody. The Intel server business is pretty much dead in the water and they're going to be dead in the water for a while because spending on Nvidia stuff are going to continue for years. So the only way out for this for Intel is actually to promote the founder business and start making money there.

The problem is that while this is going to take years and years and years, better companies like AMD and Nvidia are going to make a whole lot of money while Intel goes for this hill M to compete with Tsmc, which in itself again, as I mentioned, is not a very reward. The exercise I mean TC are quite good at what they do. Look, you don't need to be a rocket scientist or a neurer, brain surgeon or whatever it is right to understand that AMD and Nvidia are better stocks than Intel I Mean that's quite evident and that's why they're priced accordingly, so there's not a lot of leeway there to make money. That's why five months ago I made a video telling you, look, I found a stock that's going to be completely correlated with Nvidia in that server business and it's going to make a lot of money.

but it's not yet priced in like Nvidia and this is a stock we've been talking about on our Patreon group, Patreon.com Nash and on our Discord and we've been saying how this St is going to balloon because of its correlation with Nvidia. So 5 months ago I post that video. Right now the stock is up 50% After 5 months, it made a lot of people a lot of money in a group. Go check it out.

The video is going to be linked below if you want to watch it. but the real question is, how can you find stocks like that?
