ServiceNow also raised its full-year performance targets, signaling confidence in sustained growth throughout 2025. The stock has rebounded sharply after recent market weakness. Its current price of $934.16 reflects renewed investor confidence as the company continues to deliver steady top- and bottom-line expansion. Volume during the session reached 7.31 million shares, well above average. Technical Analysis Technically, NYSE:NOW bounced from the support zone around $700, aligned with the 200-day moving average of $707.13.

Tesla Suspends Guidance: Why Its Forecasts Were Often WrongTesla Pulls the Plug on Guidance: Why Its Forecasts Weren't Worth Much Anyway Tesla, the electric vehicle behemoth that has captivated and often confounded investors for over a decade, has made another move guaranteed to stir debate: it's suspending its forward-looking guidance. For many companies, withdrawing financial forecasts signals significant uncertainty or a major strategic shift, often sending shares tumbling. While Tesla's stock undoubtedly reacts to such news, a deeper look reveals a compelling argument: Tesla's official guidance, particularly in recent years, had become such a moving target, so frequently untethered from eventual reality, that its predictive value was already deeply questionable. Suspending it might simply be acknowledging the obvious. For years, Tesla's earnings calls and investor communications were punctuated by ambitious, often audacious, targets set by CEO Elon Musk and the company. These weren't just vague aspirations; they were often specific numbers for vehicle deliveries, production ramps, timelines for new technologies like Full Self-Driving (FSD), and launch dates for anticipated models like the Cybertruck or the Semi. The market, enthralled by Tesla's disruptive potential and Musk's charismatic pronouncements, frequently hung on these words, baking them into valuation models and trading strategies. However, the history of Tesla meeting these self-imposed targets is, charitably speaking, inconsistent. The guidance often veered into the quixotic, reflecting a potent blend of extreme optimism, engineering ambition, and perhaps a dash of Musk's famed "reality distortion field." Consider the infamous "production hell" of the Model 3 ramp-up. Initial targets were wildly optimistic, projecting volumes that the company struggled immensely to achieve, facing bottlenecks in battery production and assembly line automation. While Tesla eventually overcame these hurdles, the timeline and cost deviated significantly from early guidance. Similarly, the promise of Full Self-Driving has been a perennial "next year" phenomenon. While the capabilities of Tesla's Autopilot and FSD Beta have advanced significantly, the arrival of true Level 4 or 5 autonomy, capable of operating without driver supervision under virtually all conditions – as often implied by the timelines suggested in guidance – remains elusive, years behind schedules hinted at in past forecasts. The Cybertruck provides another stark example. Unveiled in 2019 with a projected start date that came and went multiple times, its eventual, limited launch in late 2023 was years behind schedule, and scaling its unique manufacturing process remains a challenge. Guidance around its ramp-up has been adjusted repeatedly. This pattern isn't necessarily born from deliberate deception, but rather from a confluence of factors inherent to Tesla's DNA and the volatile industries it operates in: 1. Aggressive Goal Setting: Musk is known for setting incredibly ambitious "stretch goals" intended to motivate teams to achieve breakthroughs. While effective internally, translating these aspirational targets directly into public financial guidance is fraught with risk. 2. Underestimation of Complexity: Bringing revolutionary products to mass market – whether it's a new vehicle platform, a complex software suite like FSD, or novel battery technology – involves navigating unforeseen engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and regulatory hurdles. Initial guidance often seemed to underestimate these complexities. 3. Market Volatility: The EV market itself is dynamic. Consumer demand shifts, government incentives change, raw material costs fluctuate, and competition intensifies – all factors that can derail even well-laid plans and render guidance obsolete. 4. The "Musk Factor": Elon Musk's public statements, sometimes made spontaneously on social media or during earnings calls, often became de facto guidance, even if not formally enshrined. His optimism could inflate expectations beyond what the operational side of the business could reliably deliver on a set schedule. Given this history, why did the market continue to pay such close attention? Part of it was the sheer scale of Tesla's ambition and its undeniable success in revolutionizing the automotive industry. Investors betting on disruption were often willing to overlook missed targets, focusing instead on the long-term vision. Past stock performance also created a feedback loop; as the stock soared despite missed guidance, it reinforced the idea that the specific numbers mattered less than the overall trajectory and narrative. Guidance served as a signal of intent and ambition, even if the execution timeline slipped. However, the context has shifted dramatically. Tesla is no longer the lone wolf in a nascent EV market. Competition is fierce, particularly from Chinese automakers like BYD, but also from legacy manufacturers finally hitting their stride with compelling EV offerings. Global EV demand growth, while still present, has slowed from its previously exponential pace. Tesla itself has engaged in significant price cuts globally to maintain volume, putting pressure on its once-stellar automotive margins. In this more challenging environment, the luxury of consistently missing ambitious targets wears thin. The decision to suspend guidance now can be interpreted in several ways: • Pragmatic Realism: Management may genuinely lack visibility into near-term demand, production capabilities (especially with new models or processes), or the impact of macroeconomic factors. Suspending guidance is arguably more responsible than issuing forecasts they have low confidence in. • Strategic Pivot: Tesla is increasingly emphasizing its future potential in AI, robotics (Optimus), and autonomous ride-sharing (Robotaxi). These ventures have even longer and more uncertain development timelines than vehicle production. Focusing investor attention away from quarterly delivery numbers might be part of a strategy to reframe the company's narrative around these future bets. • Avoiding Accountability: A more cynical take is that suspending guidance removes a key benchmark against which management's performance can be judged, particularly during a period of slowing growth and heightened competition. Regardless of the primary motivation, the practical implication for investors is clear: the already thin reed of Tesla's official guidance is now gone entirely. This forces a greater reliance on analyzing tangible results – actual deliveries, reported margins, cash flow generation, progress on FSD adoption rates, and demonstrable advancements in new ventures – rather than promises of future performance. The suspension underscores that investing in Tesla requires a strong belief in its long-term vision and its ability to execute on extremely complex technological and manufacturing challenges, often without a clear, company-provided roadmap for the immediate future. The focus must shift from parsing guidance to meticulously evaluating performance, competitive positioning, and the plausibility of its next-generation bets. In conclusion, Tesla's decision to stop issuing formal guidance is less of a shockwave and more of a formal acknowledgment of a long-standing reality. Its forecasts were often more aspirational than operational, reflecting a culture of ambitious goal-setting within a highly volatile industry. While the absence of guidance introduces a new layer of uncertainty, savvy investors likely already applied a significant discount factor to Tesla's projections. The company's future success now hinges more transparently than ever not on what it promises for tomorrow, but on what it demonstrably delivers today. The quixotic forecasts may be gone, but the fundamental challenge of execution remains.

If BTC Crashes, MSTR Has No Bottom Although I regularly have made bear forecasts on various things, I've never made a forecast of something going to zero (or as good as) before. It's something that's outside the scope of what my strategies are designed to do. They're based on trend development ideas and actually I generally tend to get fairy bullish in tight zones on things when they are around 75% down. When I make bear forecasts I generally make them with no regard given to what happens after they hit or to be bullish after they hit. MSTR finds itself in the unique position of being the only stock I've ever made this forecast on (Maybe the only one I ever will) because it is apparent to me based on reading the 8-K for MSTR that if BTC were to make a technical break and follow the downtrend cycle implied by that, the situation Saylor has created makes it almost impossible MSTR doesn't go bust. Or, more likely, they find some way to bail themselves out at the cost of the investors - like Saylor did in 2000. Another thing you don't see me doing often is going out my way to talk bad about people. I'm just not that into it. But Saylor ... is an exception. Saylor is the bubble man! Now, look - if you're into BTC, forget that for a second. I'm talking about Saylor. He has a history of doing something very specific - hopping onto a hype train, leveraging up to the max, encouraging others to take all in risk and seeing massive crashes in the stock if the bet wasn't right. On March 20, 2000, MicroStrategy's stock price plummeted by a staggering 62% in a single day, falling from $226.75 to $86.75. This was one of the most dramatic single-day collapses of the dot-com era. The stock continued to fall in the subsequent days and weeks. Saylor is a high roll gambler playing games to get his bankroll. And the way Saylor has structured the MSTR bet makes it very hard to see any way the company could survive (without some kinda investor slaying event) a sustained downturn in Bitcoin. I've seen videos of Saylor saying things like "If BTC went to $1 we'd just buy all the Bitcoin". Compared to what is in their 8-K, this is outright lies. There is almost zero chance MSTR would be able to sustain its position in Bitcoin under $15,000 if it stayed there some time. The difference between $15,000 and $1 is a lot. MSTR's bet does not give it an exact "Liquidation price", as such. It's not like if BTC hit $14,999 the company would fail. But this idea they'd just be "Buying all the Bitcoin" is outright lies. Because in this situation, MSTR would have no money. The way MSTR plans to raise money is selling MSTR stock at prices higher than it is now. If Bitcoin dropped and MSTR dropped, this would be far less attractive to do. The alternative is to raise funds from somewhere else (increase leverage)- but this could be hard to source in such an environment. When the bubble boy is out of his natural environment of dreamland markets, he's not as popular. Not buying all the BTC won't make MSTR go bust - what the problem would be as time went on is they have repayments they have to make on the debt they've accumulated. MSTR has three options how to pay this. Sell stock (Previously discussed), borrow money (take on more debt) or sell Bitcoin (At a major loss). That's their options. They should have another one. The other option should be "Make money with the tech company" - but if you go to the weekly chart on MSTR and zoom out, you'll see they've never done that. MSTR is one of the worst performing tech stocks of all time - and in their 8-K they say they're not making money from that business. MSTR only went up when Saylor latched onto the hype of BTC and began to deploy a leveraged bet. That for the second time in history began a sustained MSTR rally, the last one being when he did the same thing (Plus some accounting fraud) to run up the stock in the dot com bubble which then would slam and not recover until the new hype train in 2021. I mentioned $15,000 as a bad price for MSTR. Realistically, I found it'd be unlikely MSTR can do well with BTC under 30K for a sustained period of time. Even if it crashed and then just ranged there for a few years, this would be very troublesome for MSTR. They'd have a lot of payments to make in that time with no money. Their avenues to make money shut down. The tech company that never made money would probably be managing to under perform its terrible track record - perhaps redundant because of AI - the stock price would be in the gutter and all the people who'd be interested in lending to a guy like Saylor to do what he did would probably be quite cash strapped. Or wary. This isn't even an isolated risk. It's not even the case you can say "If BTC goes to $10,000 and stays there for 3 years before it goes to $150,000, MSTR will struggle". If it goes to $150,000, MSTR will just leverage up and up the price at which they'd enter into this situation of having known payments to make and no known way to generate the money to pay them other than selling BTC. Which since they would be progressively increasing their average price on that - would also always be at a big loss if sold into a downturn. All of this assumes that Saylor can easily sell as much BTC when he wants to and that not causing an issue. In the example of BTC trading in a range under30K for a while, our example assumes Saylor can sell BTC to cover costs and BTC remains in the range. Which might not be what happens. Given it's public knowledge when Saylor needs to make these repayments, and given it's public knowledge they have no means of making money - might not this lead to speculation? If the market knows Saylor is going to sell, might it not front run it? Might investors and speculators not panic? The idea of "Reflexivity" basically says that once things are in motion they will tend to feed upon themselves. Creating positive feedback loops. Good things breed good things. An example of this would be a stock rising makes it easier for the company to raise money and with more money they can make more money. Positive feedback loop. But this same idea works the same in reverse, and the negative feedback loop for MSTR is blatantly obviously to see - so much so that I think it's inevitable if the "Risk move" in BTC EVER happens - MSTR will likely go bust. But as I keep saying, there are ways MSTR can survive - it just means the investors are screwed. They can convert debt into stock. Maybe they'll find buyers for stock. Perhaps selling their Bitcoin can save the company at the cost of the share price. None of them would be good for investors. And these are the only things they could do. MSTR have taken a super aggressive bet. They've done it in a fancy way but they've basically used starting leverage and then the leverage of running profits to increasingly build a position into an uptrend. When you take the ideology out of this, all this is doing is super aggressively pyramiding into a trend with no trailing stops. I can tell you what has to happen to your position when there's a bigger than expected pullback when that happens! And, in this one rare case, I can tell you if that happened in BTC I see no logical way to believe MSTR does not go to zero, or as good as. Saylor is an incredibly irresponsible man. He has set up a situation where anything outside of the flawless bull trend over time he expects happens his company is almost certain to go bust. And then he presents himself as the modern day investing Jesus to young and naive people with no market experience - telling them to take as much risk as they can too. Saylor, hopefully in jest, suggests "Sell a Kidney if you must". I'd recommend he "Rent a brain if he can". Saylor is an all in gambler. That's the truth of the man.

Acadia Healthcare Company | ACHC | Long at $21.98Acadia Healthcare's NASDAQ:ACHC stock has fallen nearly -76% in a year, primarily due to weak 2024 results, missed revenue and EPS expectations, and a soft 2025 revenue guidance. Ongoing federal investigations into billing practices and lawsuits have further eroded investor confidence. However, it is currently trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 7.42x and earnings are forecast to grow 7.07% per year. The profitable company is trading at a good value compared to other healthcare companies. Debt-to-equity is relatively low (0.64x), but legal risks (DOJ probe, lawsuits) strain margins. The stock has entered my "major crash" simple moving average territory and there is a lot of downward / selling pressure. But, more often than not, this area (which... I caution... still extends down near $16) can often signal a temporary or longer-term bottom. Personally, this is a buy area ($16-$21) even if it turns into a short-term bounce in 2025. But I believe the overall market moves in the S&P 500, etc. will guide this stock more than anything at this point (unless more bad news about the company emerges). One thing to note is that there are open price gaps on the daily chart near $17, $10, and $8. These gaps, which often (but not always) get closed in the lifetime of a stock, are a potential signal for further declines - at least at some point. There could be a drop near $16, then a $10-$20 bullish price increase after that, followed by more declines (trapping investors). Time will tell, but NASDAQ:ACHC is currently attractively valued. From a technical analysis standpoint, it is in a personal "buy zone", even if purely for a swing trade. Targets: $27.00 $33.00 $39.00

NVDIA Short to T1 2 Setups here. - Both T1 and T2 will be hit as part of my price return to zero system (inflexion points). - I'm shorting to T1 first and then reverse into long for T2. If it heads to T2 first I'll simply stay in my original T1 short for the duration. It is of course easy to say that this will either go up or down :-). My system defines targets and there is no rules to say that can only produce a target in one direction. Based on what I see I know with around 95% accuracy that it will hit both with a reasonable timescale. I just don't know which one comes first :). Either way I'm shorting to T1 in the first instance. It may hit T2 first but that doesn't bother my trading as I still expect T1. I won't go down the route of a martingale to T! if it goes to T2 first!! that's just asking for trouble regardless of confidence levels!

LanzaTech (LNZA). Extremely oversold! Rally incoming?NASDAQ: LanzaTech (LNZA) , based in Illinois, USA, has recently has seen a price low of $0.1401 . This waste management company in recent times, has been featured as a top pick for buys by various news outlets. Although in an extremely bearish slump, I have a bullish prediction. In the technicals on the 1 Day Chart , the RSI appears to be indicating oversold , with a slight potential of more of a dip to come. The Stochastic seems to also be indicating oversold market conditions. A long time frame bullish RSI divergence also appears to be forming starting at the middle of Feb 2023. LanzaTech recently declined a "lowball" offer for $0.02 a share, which could signal insider bullish sentiment. LanzaTech FY25 Q1 earnings are forecasted to be significantly higher than FY24 Q4 at this time (RH). Their website, marketing and twitter appear to show no real signs of slowing business operations in my opinion. Analysis also appears shows that there is very little open interest on put options at this time. Conversely there seems to be a large number of call options from $1-$7 expiring in the near future signaling institutions and high profile traders may be entering the market quietly. Given the above signals and analysis I personally am setting a speculative stretch price target of $7 with various other orders taking profit along the way at key strike price cluster levels. With LanzaTech at a discounted price, a buy now could yield significant results. Anything can happen in the markets. What do you think? Will LanzaTech recover? Or will value become completely wiped out? Disclaimer: Not Financial Advice

Meme Camera CrazeThe meme stock phenomenon has erupted several times in recent years: in the 2021 wave, the share prices of GameStop (GME), AMC Entertainment, and other small-cap companies nearly exploded almost unexpectedly due to the coordinated buying by the Reddit / r/WallStreetBets communities. A March 2025 analysis finds that the essence of meme stocks is that retail investors’ “viral” popularity on social media drives sudden surges in trading volume and explosive price spikes—often independently of the companies’ fundamental metrics. One hallmark of these firms is extreme volatility: dramatic price swings over short periods, driven more by social-media sentiment and coordinated buying pressure than by classic financial analysis. GoPro (GPRO)—known for its action cameras—has exhibited large price swings without any fundamental corporate events. Analysts note that GoPro has become a “Robinhood favorite” and is increasingly treated as a new “play” on Reddit forums. This study examines GoPro from four angles: the impact of social media on its stock movement, its price volatility and speculative waves, the role of high short interest, and the activity of retail-investor forums (e.g., Reddit WSB). Social Media Impact on Stock Movement Social media and online forums are critical for meme stocks: TradingSim highlights that these stocks’ prices and volumes are strongly shaped by retail-investor social-media activity, resulting in highly volatile, sudden price jumps. GoPro is no exception. A Nasdaq/Motley Fool analysis reports that in the first week of March 2021, GoPro shares rose 13%, then jumped another 10.3% in a single day—even though no material company-specific news was released. This spike was attributed to high (~10.5%) short interest and WallStreetBets attention. Retail day traders are thus hunting new names, and GoPro often tops their lists: “retail investors are on the lookout for fresh picks, and GoPro seems to fit the bill,” one WSB comment noted. A MarketBeat/Entrepreneur article emphasizes that meme stocks are frequently discovered through social-media buzz, triggering swift volume surges and price explosions regardless of fundamentals. Clearly, GoPro’s price can be moved at any time by unexpected social-media waves. Price Volatility and Speculative Waves GoPro’s share price shows sharp swings—“roller-coaster” moves with double-digit daily gains and pullbacks. For example, the Nasdaq article above notes the stock climbed 13% within a week and jumped another double digit in one day. This is typical of meme stocks: one day, FOMO drives the price up; the next, profit-taking or short selling unleashes a crash. TradingSim also points out that meme-stock volatility often detaches from traditional factors and instead hinges on social-media sentiment. Furthermore, GoPro’s fundamentals rarely explain short-term moves. In March 2021 there was no significant operational news, yet a major rally occurred. On the other hand, the long-term trend has been weak: in 2024 the stock fell nearly 65% by year-end, reflecting broader market headwinds and underscoring that speculative waves alone can’t sustain growth. (Worth noting, some analysts expect improved sales in 2025.) Overall, GoPro’s short-term price action mirrors retail-investor sentiment swings more than corporate performance. High Short Interest and Its Role Meme stocks typically feature notably high short interest, amplifying speculative risk and setting the stage for short squeezes. TradingSim explains that high short interest in such names often primes them for squeezes if buying momentum builds. GoPro carried around a 10–14% short float in early 2021—comparable to Bed Bath & Beyond at the time—and as of spring 2025 still sits at roughly 8.1% short float, which is high (many blue-chip stocks run only 1–3%). These figures imply that sudden retail buying can force shorts to cover, generating further upward pressure. Nasdaq’s analysis underlines that GoPro’s 10.5%+ short float in March 2021 likely fueled its rally as shorts rushed to close positions. SEC reports caution that high short-interest stocks are prime targets for coordinated retail actions aiming for squeezes. Thus, GoPro’s relatively high short interest joins it to the classic meme-stock hallmarks. Retail Investor Community Activity (Reddit, WallStreetBets) Online retail-investor forums remain central to GoPro’s hype. Reddit’s r/WallStreetBets community regularly seeks new “meme plays,” and GoPro often surfaces in their discussions. Analyses find that these groups can mobilize rapidly, generating massive buying pressure that produces market-disrupting moves, including repeated short squeezes. Experts argue that successful meme-stock trading almost requires active monitoring of Reddit/WSB and similar channels. GoPro’s coverage on these forums—through posts and user-generated analyses—keeps it in retail traders’ sights. While the tone is often ironic and slang-laden (“hold,” “ape,” etc.), their impact is real: TradeSim notes that social-media sentiment drives meme markets more than financial fundamentals. Whether the GoPro hype continues is uncertain, but retail attention remains high and the potential for coordinated actions endures. Conclusions Our analysis shows that GoPro exhibits multiple characteristics of famous meme stocks like GameStop and AMC: Social Media Impact: GoPro’s price often reacts sharply to retail communities’ buzz. It features as a Robinhood favorite and is increasingly discussed on Reddit, meaning a single WSB post or media mention can trigger broad buying waves. High Volatility: GoPro shares can swing 10–15% in a single day, despite stable corporate metrics—mirroring the dramatic moves typical of meme stocks. Elevated Short Interest: With past floats above 10% and current levels near 8%, GoPro’s short interest is high enough to enable potential short squeezes—one of the core traits identified during the GameStop–AMC saga. Active Retail Forums: Beyond WSB, other investor groups actively discuss GoPro. Research shows that following Reddit and similar channels is crucial for participating in meme-stock rallies, and GoPro remains a popular target for these coordinated efforts. In sum, GoPro’s price behavior aligns closely with the speculative patterns of top meme stocks: it is highly susceptible to social-media hype, shows extreme volatility, carries high short interest, and enjoys active retail-investor coordination. Investors attracted to GoPro for its meme-stock profile should be aware that they are betting on sentiment-driven swings, which can yield rapid gains or steep losses. Nonetheless, by these metrics, GoPro can justifiably be regarded as a meme stock in its own right. Sources Used: This study draws on key analyses showing that meme stocks’ prices and volumes are driven by social-media activity. GoPro’s specific examples are supported by financial reports from Nasdaq, Motley Fool, and other outlets.
