But I feel no sympathy for the petroleum sector after all the years of price gouging on gasoline prices. None at all. Shades of "instant Karma" perhaps?? OR???
So NIO is headed for greatness in just 5 years? I am thinking that announcement came from the CEO at NIO. Of course, that is what a CEO is paid so well to say, with credibility. And it may indeed do quite well. Or not.
Amazon is an interesting case among companies. Certainly it is a success by it's standards, but there are quite a few criticisms made by some who understand the whole story. So while the profits are good there may be some "issues" in the future. And certainly not everybody loves Amazon.
What happens in China with whatever our next administration is may be interesting. And what effect will the recent change of attitude in North Korea have on the China /Korea relationship? Will that alter the luxury vehicle market at all.
Keep in mind that China is quite different from anywhere else, especially the USA.
Quite an indictment of the current spending priorities. The one portion that needs to be eliminated is the additions for enabling the computer driven vehicles. Starting to provide that will open up an infinite money-sinkhole.
The serious challenge to all infrastructure spending is that there is only so much money available, because every penny of it comes from taxes. And the freedom lost when that income tax rate is 825 IS CERTAINLY A LOT. Where did I get that 82% number? It came from an interview with a politician from a Scandinavian country a few years back. The discussion was about all of the social services provided. The answers were always, we have a 1% tax to pay for that, or a 3% tax, or some other little tax, and the total was 82%. That leaves 18% for personal spending on things like food and shelter, and possibly clothing. I see that as a serious lack of freedom.
So now the question of how much of the pie goes to what comes into play. And while the infrastructure keeps on functioning it draws very little attention. That leads to no changes.
Interesting indeed, that just some fear that an anticipated boon would not appear has such an effect. That backs up my assertion thet the market is too much driven by emotions. And those seem to be the emotions of the chronically fearful folks, even. Those are not the folks who I would let drive on the expressway.
Quite interesting indeed, worth reading a second time. That big complaint does bring to my mind that old caution line: "don't gamble more than you can afford to lose".
So now the complaint seems to be against the concept of buying stocks with the anticipation that they will become more valuable eventually.
Of course the aggressive buying and selling based on hunches, feelings, and perceived directions requires a whole lot more participation and a lot more luck. Pricing appears to be at least partly based on demand and emotions, and anticipation of future movement. That seems like it is providing the stereotypical "Gambler's Rush" as well as profit.
Could it possibly be that the real complaint is "That they are taking all of the fun out of it?" Certainly rick and reward based on personal actions can be very exciting, but how much excitement do the rest of us really need or want?

Of Amazon We Should Be Afraid, Very Afraid!
Amazon has followed the Microsoft business plan of taking over and destroying those it can't absorb. and certainly their plan is working.
Will it survive the coming financial disaster? I don't know. Does Amazon deserve my sympathy is if does not survive? I don't think so.
Monsters do exist and often they are aided by those who fail to consider the secondary results of their actions.
Am I repeating myself here? Certainly, I have said this many times before. It still applies.
