  • Stock price has nothing to do with reality. Even when the stock price goes up or down coinciding with profits going up and down, it’s just that – a coincidence. Many times you’ll see amazing earnings and the stock will drop because “it’s priced in” (it’s always priced in except when it’s not) or “future outlook didn’t look good” (unlike the amazing outlook of tesla which is promising robots and robotaxis and other vaporware).

    Their Q1 earnings report comes out next month, so that’ll be interesting at least. Don’t expect market reactions to be logical. It may seem to go up or down appropriately, but the primary mover is not reality.








  • c) Ukraine should be given such assurances of protection.

    From what I’ve seen, the US and Europe have been content with just throwing money/military equipment at Ukraine to use as a drain on Russia’s resources, but there has been no support beyond that. Even with the billions that Biden pledged to Ukraine, there were a number of key instances where Ukraine asked for permission to use those weapons to strike at critical Russian infrastructure and they were denied. The impression I get is that Ukraine is being used by the west to stick it to a geopolitical rival with no regard for actual peace.
