I have to agree. You only have to look at car and junk food inflation from after covid. The prices make no sense, but that doesn't matter, they got away with it and are fighting to hold onto high prices, even as consumers balk. Their s

Yes hard-nosed analysis, from a couple of retail investors but not finance journalists. The latter don't want to bite the hand that feeds, the former is on the menu.

Sure, but that's pure speculation. The price suggests not speculation but certainty about some unspecified and massive success. Google's price went up as they were more successful and created new products. They didn't try to

You're missing my point. Job losses are a fact of life, just like death. Why should people get upset about the fact that someone might lose their job, or die? It's not amoral. These things happen constantly to millions of people,
