Entering Support Zone: Will AI and FSD Save Tesla’s Valuation in 2025?
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ has already dropped 28% this year and is approaching the gap-up level after last year's Trump election. Recently, the news of Tesla's FSD entering China has turned into a negative catalyst, as its FSD performance in testing across various platforms is far below that of its competitors.What other factors, aside from European sales, have contributed to the recent decline?Tesla's high valuation is undoubtedly the key focus this earnings season.Before the April earnings, the market currently lacks any positive news that could trigger short-covering, and the Texas Robotaxi project has not yet officially launched, failing to provide enough positive news to support the stock price.Despite of high valuation, what may support a rebound

Reddit’s money pouch grew plump with a whopping 71% leap to $427.7 million in Q4—imagine a bunny vault overflowing with golden carrots! Ad revenue, the juiciest carrot of all, jumped 60% to $394.5 million, thanks to more bunnies eyeballing ads (impressions went up, while prices stayed as steady as a rabbit’s hop). Plus, a sweet $33.2 million came from “other revenue”—think of it as Reddit selling secret bunny recipes (like data licensing deals with Google and OpenAI). For the whole year, they raked in $1.3 billion, a 62% bounce from 2023. And get this: their profit margins are fluffier than a bunny’s tail at 92.6%, leaving other social media critters green with envy! The bunny accountants also cheered—adjusted EBITDA (fancy profit talk) soared from $23 million to $154 million, and they eve

$VeriSign(VRSN)$ I bought mine before Warran Buffett bought his... [Tongue] I wish the story stops there... the fact is that it was started as part of my auto-invest, the positions were small to begin with. [Facepalm] [Smug] [Glance] [Sly] To be fair, since my entry price was low, I have been able to continue building my position without taking too much a hit with my carrying cost.
