Episode notes
Anticipate Volatility With High Valuations
- Expect continued volatility because high valuations leave the market sensitive to shocks.
- Use stock-specific analysis rather than broad market assumptions to guide trades.
Valuation Driven By Future Bets
- Tesla's valuation largely reflects hopes for future AI and robotics rather than current auto fundamentals.
- Revenue beats can mask margin and execution concerns that drive short-term stock reactions.
Beat On Revenue, Miss On EPS
- Tesla beat revenue but missed EPS, highlighting pull-forwards and margin pressure.
- Investors will focus on Optimus, RoboTaxi and concrete rollout details for upside confirmation.
