Most economic concerns are at the core of the conflict between the price of goods and the value of money. An increase in interest rates means a higher cost for borrowing money. This also causes the value of money to rise. Investors want to own an asset that will appreciate in value. They consider whether to buy a good or a currency. Investing in stocks means buying a company, while bonds are buying fiat currency. Most investors see these two concepts as corresponding concepts, not assets of the same nature. The proposition that money buys goods represents a very significant aspect of investing. If you want to invest well, you should get a hint from this proposition. Money appeared because of the convenience of exchanging goods, but in the world of investment, it always results in a confrontation between goods and money. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Tesla earns revenue through car sales, but its real profits come from other sources. Although Hyundai-Kia Motors sells more cars annually than Tesla, it does not have the same profit structure, which is unique to Tesla. Tesla capitalizes on environmental assets by selling carbon credits each year. While the company experiences overall losses in car sales, the sale of these carbon credits results in surplus income, positively affecting its stock price. Traditional automakers contribute to Tesla’s profitability by purchasing cars and paying fines for carbon emissions. This dynamic is also a key reason why Tesla establishes operations in regions with strict pollution regulations. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
