RISE and FALL of RIVIAN STOCK (RIVN)...is Rivian truly WORTH MORE than GM, FORD, or STELLANTIS?

Is Rivian insanely overvalued? Has its stock price reached a peak? In today's video we discuss my thoughts on Rivian and whether its market capitalization is justified. Currently the company's value (or market cap) is higher than that of Ford, GM, and Sellantis but its sales are less than 1 million dollars (a fraction of Ford, GM, and Stellantis). Is this a fluke or is this accurate? That's what we discuss in today's video. Further in the video, I touch on Lucid Motors and its initial public offering in July of this year. I also breakdown some financial terms like IPO, Earnings, P/E ratio, market capitalization, etc... I wanted to talk about this subject because it mixes my passion for cars with my background in Finance. Hopefully you guys enjoy this new type of video and let me know if you would like to see more of it in the comments below! Also let me know your thoughts on Rivian as one of the newest electric car manufacturers.

I think the big automakers have a chance to make up some ground in the ev market. I like Fords approach so far however customers relying on dealership network and in person updates etc is a flaw that the big auto executives refuse to bend on. Over the air updates are something that makes Tesla and others like Rivian more appealing. Most people despise the thought of going back to the dealership for any update or service. I think Ford and GM stock has a lot of upside as they develop and implement their ev strategy. Excited to see what Dodge offers I a couple years

Love the vid brother! Really informative. Personally I think that it all comes down to trade secrets, and politics. For instance, the way that we are going as a nation, gas prices are climbing higher and higher on the daily. So with that people are investing in electric cars more and more. For instance, let's say that gas is at $10/Gal like in California a while back. There'll be people throwing away their gas powered motor cars, and switching to electric more and more. So the stock is going to climb ever so higher. But every 4 years you have a huge chance of dramatic losses, or incredible gains. Because there may be someone who gets gas prices down to 1/gal, and then the stocks will plummet for the electric car industry, and they'll end up owing more than they will ever make. (Kinda the reason people jumped off buildings back in the great depression, because they'll never be able to pay back what they owed in a million lifetimes, let alone just one) But honestly a lot of the information about why people invest in companies that are down in the gutter is because they buy in huge numbers due to them knowing the trend in political standings of this nation, and their trade secrets. And people seeing that trend, and see a company in minuses drastically going up, so they invest a lot also (Think GameStop) The smart ones with the inside knowledge know exactly when to sell, and pull out because of the information not supplied to the general public, and leave the rest out to dry when the stock submerges in the deep end. It's like going to Vegas when your brother is the dealer. You guys work out little hints and signals to let one another know what the next move should be because you have that inside information, while everybody else at the at the table is relying purely on luck. Or lets say your buddy works in a lumber yard tells you that prices for wood are climbing higher and higher. So you should pull out of the wood investment that you have. it's like the old saying "The rich get richer, the poor get poorer" It's all about the secret information that one hold, and is exposed to on a daily basis. But in the long run, it's a pretty dirty game, because now that you made those millions, the people who told you own you know because they can always say that you knew about the plan all along and through you under the bus, and have everyone else say the same thing because the same thing will happen to them if they don't. Personally, you know about this much better than I do bro. those are just my thoughts :D

Rivian = quality. Rivian can now do what it wants without Ford cutting corners (like with the Pinto, no seat belts,

etc).

.., Tesla Model X and Y look like an egg on wheels.
.Unlike Tesla, Rivian's customers can get the $7500 federal tax credit.
.Tesla is a sinking ship. Tesla is now selling to rental car companies like Hertz which is the worst place to be
because that is the LOWEST margin. And people don't want to buy cars that are part of rental fleets.
Tesla second to last in Consumer Reports reliability study.
