Both Fundstrat’s Tom Lee and Financial Education’s Jeremy Lefebvre have both blocked me on on the X platform, formerly Twitter. Here’s why I think they did: it’s to do with my criticism of their constant short term predictions about the stock market, stocks. I explain in this video.

Dan Ives, an analyst from Wedbush, passionately argues that Tesla is the most undervalued AI stock, despite its recent market struggles. He emphasizes Tesla's potential in the AI sector amid wider tech downturns. In contrast, Jon Mitchell, a former Tesla president, critiques the company's current situation, suggesting that its challenges may benefit competitors. They dive into Tesla's innovative robo taxi plans, financial issues, and the evolving EV landscape, illustrating a tense but fascinating rivalry among automotive giants.

I take an in-depth look at Tesla earnings to see why Tesla stock tumbled immediately after the earnings release, and continued during the earrings call with Elon Musk.

I react to Dan Ives, senior equity analyst from Wedbush, who has a new bull case for Palantir stock (PLTR), raising the stock price target significantly. Ives says Palantir is the “Messi of AI”, and it’s going to be the “golden child of AI” in the future. He thinks Palantir stock has a massive move ahead of it, and he states his Palantir bull case.   Related videos: Is The Bull Market Just Getting Started? https://youtu.be/fgwxraXgyVs Palantir Stock: Major Game Changing News? https://youtu.be/JimG3r00IHs Stocks Today With JJ channel: https://www.youtube.com/@jjstockstoday Referenced videos Expect 'massive' Q2 earnings for AI chip stocks: Dan Ives https://youtu.be/NqO-d-SSI4E Join The Art of Value Patreon community for exclusive content I don’t share anywhere else: https://www.patreon.com/TheArtofValue Disclaimer: I am not a financial adviser and nothing in this content is financial advice.
