Reads like a hit job on Tesla, to me.

There is one single paragraph on Tesla, less than 5% of the article. And it's just an example where several others could have been used instead.

  It's the only company mentioned by name in their Key Points at the top, and then it's one of the first things they talk about, and is the only company they talk about in detail. To you, that's by chance and doesn't mean anything. To me, it's because the piece was written with Tesla in mind-- the piece was designed as a vehicle for an opinion on Tesla, disguised as an article about bubbles.

    tesla is the poster child for a bubble, so I do not think this alone is evidence as a hit article on tesla. To me, best case scenario is Tesla sells more cars than Ford. What does that mean for the stock? as the case with all stocks with this kind of hyper PE ratio, the stock has to go into no growth territory for like a decade as its earnings grow to match its stock price. that means the best possible case for tesla stock is that it will stop growing for about 10 years, bouncing around the same price.

    Maybe they created the company fifteen years ago and growed it to manage $200bn just to prepare this hit piece. They really disguised it well, hiding their negative opinion on Tesla within a long article about bubbles published on their website with no reference to Tesla on the title.

      No, nice reducto ad absurdum, but just because they didn't create the company for this hit piece doesn't mean the authors hadn't been mulling over negative thoughts towards Tesla for awhile and found a convenient place to present them.

        Have they a negative opinion on Tesla? That's obvious. Have they written this article with the main (or only) objective of letting the world know that they think Tesla is overvalued? That's ridiculous. They could have used another example, like Netflix. Maybe then you or someone else would come to say it was a hit job against Netflix.

No, Tesla is just such an illustrative example.
