Tesla Stock Analysis: Evaluating the Recent Pullback & Future Prospects
Tesla ( $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ ) has experienced a notable pullback from its all-time high of $488 in December 2024 to its current price of $358.33 as of February 11, 2025. This decline of approximately 26% has led to widespread speculation, including claims that CEO Elon Musk is primarily focused on government affairs rather than Tesla’s management. However, there is no concrete evidence supporting this assertion. Instead, Tesla’s stock movement remains largely influenced by fundamentals, earnings, and market conditions rather than Musk’s external activities. Earnings Summary and Main Reasons for the Pullback TSLA released its Q4 2024 earnings on January 29, 2025. The company reported an adjusted EPS of $0.73, falling short of the expected $0.76, a

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ NVIDIA is being institutionally pushed towards 130, but whether it can stabilize above 132 depends on whether short sellers want to hinder it.

Of course, the bottom line remains at 120, and selling puts can be considered. $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ What's concerning is that TSMC is being targeted by bears without apparent reason.Someone opened positions buying 49,000 190 puts expiring this week, with a transaction value of about $4.26 million
Blazing DeepSeek The emergence of DeepSeek, a Chinese AI developer has caused deep distress to both $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ and OpenAI. It resulted in them losing billions in value, -$600 billion to be exact in Nvidia’s case. Based on past month trading sessions, Nvidia has lost -16.35% to its stock price. (see below) Although it has recovered (+5.35%) on Wed, 05 Feb 2025 - it is forecasted to be volatile in the near term because (a) it has not reported its quarterly earnings to quell market uneasiness with it and (b) Deepseek is here to stay.

2 REITs With Huge Risk That Could Have X3 In The Future!
$Medical Properties(MPW)$$Macerich(MAC)$ The greatest returns in real estate investing often come from purchasing shares of companies that appear to be on the verge of bankruptcy, only for them to defy expectations, survive, and eventually recover to more typical valuations. A prime example of this is the case of Macerich. The company was highly over-leveraged as the pandemic approached, which led to a sharp drop in share price to $5—an 80% discount to our estimated net asset value. Several of Macerich's peers had already filed for bankruptcy, and the market feared it would follow suit, which would have likely wiped out equity holders. That’s why the stock was priced so low.
