Without a doubt, Tesla is the cult stock of the Millennial and Gen Z generations. The young adults view Elon as a god—the Nikola Tesla of our time. Meanwhile, the Gen X and Boomer generations don’t appear to have the same fervor as their children do. I’d speculate that the majority of them don’t know how to accurately value Tesla with traditional financial metrics. Reading through various analyst reports you could come to the conclusion that analysts are in the same boat.
I’d rather be a tourist in a big city than a permanent resident.
They’re expensive, crowded, have higher crime rates, more pollution, traffic, and typically smell like shit. Sounds enticing.

Michael Batnick published a post that showed this is the fastest bear market in history. It took 19 days for the Dow Jones Industrial Average to drop 20%. I can’t even read a 300-page book in 19 days.
While I do a lot of my own home renovation projects, one thing is constant—if you want something done right you must have the right tool for the job. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to use a tool that wasn’t right for the job and ended up getting frustrated and spending more time and money fixing the problem.
A year and a half ago, one of the greatest short calls of our generation was made by the biggest influencer in the world—not me. I’m speaking of Kylie Jenner of course.
On February 21st, 2018, Kylie Jenner tweeted out her disgust of Snapchat and their recent user interface change that made the product extremely hard to use—even for millennials.
I have always been and will most likely always be a meat-eater. I’ve read way too many research papers and books from very smart people and seen the results myself on what a paleo or keto type diet can do for people to cure a host of different ailments.
