You explained it quite well, I just didn't think you were serious.
Let's go back to my original question. A company that's dismantling itself for a quarterly profit. Obviously Microsoft doesn't fit since they are doing it for many years now and are still going strong even if just on paper like you say.
So according to your analysis when will it be dismantled? Will they go down in 3 months as a punishment for the latest quarterly profit? Maybe a year? 5 years? Will it happen in this century?
It's going to come to head in the next 5 years. Before 2030 for sure. Maybe even next year. Depends on how quickly the collapse happens - my bet is on painfully slow. Just an inevitable reality, slowly playing out year over year
We're in a bubble. Obviously. Pay attention. The speculation doesn't line up with reality. Eventually, it will reconcile with reality
That's great news. Will be waiting for it.
