Im watching all this and im thinking you guys are being convinced to not buy these stocks.

I just keep buying. Because I know how this works. Seen it many times now. Media says one thing, market goes another way.

Do you guys remember when Tesla was down extreamly much because the media and most people on Lemmy were convinced that musks nazi salute would mean the company is done? It was only like six months ago, you cant have missed it.

Now go look at the stock. Buy tech stocks. Dont do what the media is telling you. They are not there to help you.

You have to be smart, and being smart is not following the public opinion about things, because its being shaped by the owner class. If the media is telling you to sell, you probably should be buying. And when its telling you to buy, be very careful because the media owners want to sell.

You have to view it like you are inside the matrix. In a way, we are.

The key is getting out at the right time, and that is weighed massively against small investors. The big investors and institions control the market and can move quickly while small investors cannot.

Tesla is not doing well - look at its falling sales. It's a risky stock to hold. The AI companies are also highly risky stocks to hold.

That doesn't mean don't hold them - all anyone is saying really is that these are high risk investments, and at some point they are going to probably crash because it's a bubble.

That doesn't necessarily mean "don't invest". It does certainly mean be prepared to get out fast and also only use money you can afford to lose when investing with such high risk stocks.

If you look at Tesla chart, or any other tech stock chart, you can see that nobody would have lost money if they didnt sell. They are all going up long term. Tesla is up 100% in three years, 240% in five years. Everybody who sold during that time made the wrong choice, unless they invested in something that went up more.

Just dont sell, ever, until you retire. This is super hard to do but its what the charts show is actually best.
