That makes sense. I never understood how these "worth" calculations are done, but it seemed like funny money to me.

It sounds similar to when there is a sudden market downturn, and the news reports about the incredible amount of money "lost" that day. It's only "lost" in the overall market until the next upturn, which is frequently a matter of days.

I do not think anyone buying Tesla stock today are looking for dividends but to sell it for the $6000 price big name investors are expecting supported by real earnings in 2030. Elon Musk states he is not go for broke again like he did to get the Model out of the door. Had the Model 3 not happened on the stated time line we would not be talking about Tesla today but the company(s) that bought the remains of Tesla.

Tesla is subject to failing in the short term and long term as are all companies.

VW is the closest thing to a competitor that Tesla has today. VW has a lot of high end EV's on the market today but range wise they are still behind where Tesla was way back in 2012 with the Model S. With Tesla coming out with the 400 mile range vehicles with million mile battery packs makes it hard for others to catch up but they will catch up at some point. They will be excited until they realize while they were playing catch up that Tesla was no longer using lithium based battery technology.

Well regardless what the stock market does today more and more people understand EV's have arrived and that over time they will be main option as more and more companies stop making ICE based vehicles. The ICE is the new incandescent light bulb thanks to your government now that Tesla has proven EV technology is becoming more viable.

I held some very valuable and promising shares in a high tech company. Then, the valuable part of the company was sold and I was left holding stock that was pretty much worthless. Once again, the little guy gets screwed! Maybe someone can explain to me how that works.

Very true; the coal dust now gets blown all over the country letting everyone breath coal dust.
