Betting Now Could be Your Golden Ticket! š«
Teslaās been on a bit of a skid this year. Down 28% YTD. Down over 31% for the past year.
If weāre going to follow the mogul Warren Buffett and ābe greedy when otherās are fearfulā this could be a great opportunity to double down on our Tesla positionsā¦ so is it?
Letās take a look š
Teslaās not looked very sexy so far this year
Back in 2018, Muskās $56 BILLION pay package got blocked by a Delaware court. I canāt think of faster way to make a superstar entrepreneur lose interest in a project than swiping his billion dollar pay package after heās done the work. And thatās exactly what investors were worried about.
That was about time Elonās focus seemed to shift from Tesla to his shiny new AI venture, xAI too.
But hereās the good news *drumrolls*š„
Musk just got his pay package re-approved! š
So what does that mean for me & you? Why should we care that a billionaire is getting more billions?
It means heās got a major incentive to get Tesla back on track. And if he can get Tesla back on track & weāre invested, we get more money too!
Elonās a stud of an entrepreneur so if we can get a fully engaged, ready for battle Elon to lead Tesla with passion againā¦. shut up & take my money!
Just take it Elon
And we donāt have to just rely on Elon making existing processes more efficient. Thereās space for Tesla to expand & capture other markets. The talk of Teslaās robotaxis becoming a reality. Imagine owning a Tesla that drives itself around, earning you money while you chill at home.
If they can pull it off itād be like baking Uber into an existing company, And if they launched their own fleet of robotaxis they wouldnāt have to pay any taxi drivers.
Sounds like a sci-fi movie but a few hedge funds are bullish on this move. That includes Cathie Wood who dropped a $2,600 price target for 2029 š¤Æ
Thatās a bit much in my opinion but I do see a world where Tesla will hit previous highs & beyond. Thatās give us over a 130% return.
But we do need to keep this in mind.
Teslaās stock (even after this slide) isnāt cheap. If you look at traditional financial metrics itās a bit pricey.
But hereās the thing ā Tesla isnāt just a car company. So you canāt really value it the same way you would other car companies.
And theyāve got a few opportunities they can take a swing at to see crazy growth & hit a trillion-dollar opportunity out the park.
Robotaxis, AI, Optimus robots - you wonāt see any of that on the Ford plan of action.
Right now, Tesla is trading at multi-year lows. I think this is a golden opportunity to build a low cost basis on a bet thatās worth the risk.
Elon Musk is back in the game, fully charged, fully paid & ready to push Tesla to new heights. ā”

Hereās another one thatās having a stinker in 2024ā¦ Comcast!
Down 14% YTD - get your shopping bags out šļø
Comcast down 14% YTD is a discount pick up in my opinion
Their Q1 earnings report beat expectations on revenues and earnings but still took a 6% dive on the day. Stock price is still floating around that post-dive price & trading the lowest itās been since around April 2023.
Now if a stock takes a dive like this & the foundations of the company look crumbly - stay well away ā
But thatās just not the case here - hereās some numbers you should know.
Earnings Per Share (EPS): Non-GAAP EPS came in at $1.04, beating estimates by $0.05 and up $0.12 from the same quarter last year.
Revenue: $30.1 billion, beating the consensus by $300 million and up $400 million from Q1 2023.
Free Cash Flow: Up nearly 20% to $4.5 billion.
Broadband Revenue: Residential broadband revenue saw mid-single-digit growth, hitting over $6.5 billion.
Wireless Subscribers: Up 21%, reaching 6.9 million customers with a 13% increase in wireless revenue.
Peacock Growth: Revenue surged 54% to $1.1 billion with a subscriber base hitting 34 million, up 55%. šŗ
Seems like a miracle buy with those kinds of stats, right? So what are the bears seeing that weāre not?
Let me put my bear mask onā¦ š»
Even though revenue was up, the pace of growth wasnāt super impressive. Revenue was only up 1% year on year & net income was less than 1%.
Streaming services reported a loss of $639million. Speaking of losses, they also said goodbye to 65,000 domestic broadband customers & 487,000 domestic video customers in Q1.
The bear case is that a decline in cable and media businesses is a major headwind. Plus, the losses in broadband and video subs could mean Comcast just arenāt growing as fast as they need to to offset the declines.
But hereās why none of that matters as much as you think it does.
Comcast have a monopoly of over 200million people. For a lot of customers in the US, Comcast is the only option.
Thatās one way to guarantee stable revenue & profits numbers even if they donāt look as sexy as hockey-stick tech growth numbers.
Now, I would say that monopolies arenāt ideal for innovation in a company. No competition can make you lazy & complacent. But thatās not what Comcast are doing.
Comcastās Xfinity is rated the fastest broadband service - super appealing to the growing crowd of gamers & streamers who need big fat connection speeds.
And theyāve got even more upgrades in the pipeline.
With their huge moat, healthy balance sheet, 3%+ dividend yield & limited downside risk I canāt see a reason why you wouldnāt want to have them represented in your portfolio.
Their Q2 2024 earnings are out next month so if that keeps the trend, Iāll likely be scaling the position size. Will keep you posted when they come out!
Thatās all! See you same time next week š
