Who here can tell me more about TAAs & sstb ?

Transportation as a service & new battery technology on the horizon.

From the lil research I’ve done they both look to be game changers in the years ahead. Potentially as disruptive to our world as affordable cars via Henry Ford & personal computers linked to the www.

Any of you guys familiar with this stuff ?

Btt

Bump

What is TAAs ? Stock symbol?

Hard to tell in a lot of tech companies if it's BS or real. My experience is most tech based companies going public late in a cycle are full of chit.

I am

Take a look at nasdaq the past month. The time to get into those companies was early last summer. Right now too late.

If you are patient and do your research it might be a buy in a few weeks or a month or with a major correction..

yep just like in 99

If you are the guy that picks Google, you’re golden. But for every google, there’s ten dozen Yahoo’s (pun intended).

Tesla did great. Nikola was a fraud, and GM escaped by the nick of time from a multi billion dollar investment mistake. And so on. Fiskers announced a year ago they were “this close” to making solid state batteries work and went all in. This week, they announced solid state batteries are like nuclear fusion, nearly within reach (for five decades now). On the other hand, VW just put down billions into a solid state battery outfit in Cali.

You place your bets, and you take your chances. I think the analogy to the dot.com bubble in 2000 is not perfect, but there’s a lesson there, for sure. Money is pouring into the sector, which feeds the charlatans as well as the two or three guys that have a chance at making the moon shot. There is a LOT of money to be made, but a LOT of money is lost trying to make that big payday.

Picking those two or three guys out of the cacophony of truths and lies is beyond my ability. So I find some solace that although the majority of the entire increase in the US stock market in the last few years came from the FANG stocks plus Tesla, those of us that were broadly diversified did pretty well, anyway, without having made the long bet at the track.

My money has been in a combination of Google and Amazon since 2004

Since 2009 GOOG has looked like a ruler straight line on an exponential scale = 21%/ year
Since 2009 AMZN has looked like a ruler straight line on an exponential scale = 38%/ year

That is 12 year of fat, could be followed by 12 years of lean.

I was a child stock owner in the 1967 - 1982 flat spot. That was a 15 year flat spot.
I was a stockholder in the 1987 crash. I did not sell, and it was back to normal in a year.

Thanks for the heads up. Now.

PEs 36 or so? The owners of the Fed invested a long time ago, and they have gotten rich manipulating it for the CBs they own.
