SpaceX Is Junk. That’s What the Bond Market Says (archive.ph)

The bond market’s assessment also jibes with SpaceX’s stock. It’s a profitless, non-dividend-paying, one-person-controlled, empire-building project trading at more than 100 times sales, about 30 times the valuation of the S&P 500 Index. That’s the very definition of a junk stock.

I feel like I'm way ahead of the market.

(If only I knew how to turn that wisdom into money)

Alas, the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

The one you hear a lot is buying physical precious metals. But keeping that stuff at home is kinda risky and renting a vault isn't free either.

[–] Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

There are certificates that are fully backed by physical metals, so it is easy to trade them. I even have some (but going to sell soon).

You want it at home. The real value in your of gold is when society collapses it still is a nice metal and so has value. Iron would work to but your house isn't big enough for your life savings in iron.

I don't think society will collapse and lacking that scenario gold isn't a better investment.

Gold is money. Central banks are the biggest buyers, and that’s not as a hedge if society collapses. It’s an escape hedge from money printing and an universal medium of exchange

You want it at home.

Well, I don't.

I don't think society will collapse and lacking that scenario gold isn't a better investment.

I don't think that either. I buy it when I think it's value will rise.

I'm convinced that to win in today's market, you really can't think deeply about anything.

[–] Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hm. Maybe you can't. How does that help me?

[–] PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

See, you’re still thinking when you ask questions

[–] Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why? I am always thinking. All the time, no matter what. So?

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Put options are a thing.

But best to stay out of stocks gambling unless you have money to lose.

[–] ttayh@lemmy.zip 1 points 12 hours ago

Or short ETFs
