It's been like the Dutch tulip bubble :lol:

"The greater fool" theory. Yes, I know what I'm buying is massively overpriced but a bigger fool than me will buy it off me for a higher price.

On one day recently Tesla increased its valuation by more than the entire valuation of Chrysler.

there isn’t enough electricity in the USA to power all the Teslas of projected sales at their current market cap!

It's almost as if people think Tesla has intellectual rights on the EV and none of the other manufacturers who've been perfecting the art of making cars for decades can join in.
 
Bump, finally started dabbling since savings rates are now pretty much nil. Looking at British American Tobacco, B&M, Docusign as next buys. Any thoughts?
If I Were a gambling man and could afford to lose it all then I would be tempted by:

Rolls Royce
HSBC
BT
Shell

But I am not a gambler so I invest monthly into index trackers.
 
I've milked about 90% profit out of iShares clean energy and electric motor indexes in the past three months.

Done bits of profit taking along the way but just been reinvesting any profit directly back in.
 
Which companies do folk use for buying shares, for example open orphan mentioned above, forecast is they still have quite a way to go.. but which is the most economically viable company to use for share purchases
 
For safe, steady growth = Halma. Will get you 10-20% a year
For a gamble, TT Electronics (awaiting results of a ground breaking Covid tester in the next 2 months), Touchstone Exploration (thinking man's Excite)

They are well ahead on developing and capacity to build good batteries though. Obviously people will get their hands on them and backward engineer then tweak enough to be their own design, that's going to take a lot of time and experimentation to replicate never mind build factories up to the capacity required to build the batteries.
