"The question is not whether Tesla will sell 80,000 or 90,000 cars this year, but whether they will sell 14 million or 15 million in 15 years. I believe they can do it," said Ron Baron of long-term value player, Baron Capital.

(JOIN ME ON CUNARDS QUEEN ELIZABETH FOR MY SATURDAY JUNE 29 ALASKA SEMINAR AT SEA),
(POPULATION BOMB ECHOES)
Come join me in the grand appointments of the Cunard Line’s Queen Elisabeth on an adventurous ten-day cruise through Alaska’s Inside Passage.
The Ship departs from Vancouver, Canada at 10:00 AM on Friday, June 21, 2024 and returns on Monday, July 1. The ship will make day stops at Ketchikan, the Tracy Arm Fjord to view a glacier, Juneau, Haines, the Hubbard Glacier, Sitka, and Victoria. There will be two full days at sea in the North Pacific.
There, I will be conducting the Mad Hedge Fund Trader’s Strategy Luncheon where I will discuss the future of the global financial markets.
I’ll be giving you my up-to-date view on stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities, precious metals, energy, and real estate. I’ll highlight the best long and short opportunities.
And to keep you in suspense, I’ll be tossing a few surprises out there too. Enough charts, tables, graphs, and statistics will be thrown at you to keep your ears ringing for a week. Tickets are available for $499 for the seminar only.
Attendees will be responsible for booking their own cabin through Cunard. They offer everything from an inside stateroom from $799 per person to $26,780 for Q1 deluxe two-bedroom apartment with its own gym and two butlers.
Just visit their website by clicking here or call them directly at 800-528-6273 to make your own arrangements. Only reserve cruise number Q420.
The weather this time of year can range from balmy to tempestuous, depending on our luck. A brisk walk three times around the boat deck adds up to a mile. Full Internet access will be available, for a price, to follow the markets.
Two dinners during the voyage will be black tie, so bring two tuxes or formal dresses. Don’t forget to bring your Dramamine and sea legs, although the ten-year-old, 932-foot-long $1 billion ship is so big I doubt you’ll need them.
The event will be held at the ship’s luxurious Owners Suite, the details of which will be emailed to you with your purchase confirmation.
I look forward to meeting you and thank you for supporting my research.

I am constantly looking for “tells” in the market, little nuggets of information that no one else notices, but give me a huge trading advantage.
Well, there is a big one out there right now. The bottom feeders are pouring into San Francisco commercial real estate, taking advantage of valuations that sometimes reach negative numbers. Owners are walking away from buildings, mailing in the keys, and going into default rather than keeping up mortgage payments. What’s worse is refinancing at today’s lofty rates. That’s what you would expect with a 36% vacancy rate.
The message for you traders is loud and clear. You should be picking up the highest quality technology growth stocks on every substantial dip, such as Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOGL), Meta (META), and NVIDIA (NVDA). For they all know some things that you don’t. Their businesses are about to triple, if not quadruple over the coming decade thanks to AI. For every abandoned building out there are 200 new AI start-ups taking advantage of today’s bargain basement rates, and ALL of them use the services of the five companies above.
Technology stocks, which now account for an eye-popping 30% of stock market capitalization, will make up more than half of the market within ten years, much of that through stock price appreciation. And they are all racing to lock up the office space with which to do that….now.
San Francisco office rents reached a record pre-pandemic as the continued growth of tech — now turbocharged by nearly $100 billion in new capital raised in a series of initial public offerings — met a severe space crunch.
Asking rents rose to a staggering $84.16 per square foot annually for the newest and highest quality offices in the central business district, and citywide asking rents for such spaces, known as Class A, were up over 9% from the prior year. The citywide office vacancy rate was 5.5% in June, down from 7.4% a year ago.
In addition, local Bay Area home prices could get a turbocharger by the fall, when interest rates are expected to start falling.
San Francisco companies that have gone public continue to grow by leaps and bounds. Pinterest (PINS), Slack (WORK), and Uber (UBER) also signed office leases this year, with room for thousands of new employees.
Tech companies Autodesk (ADSK) and Glassdoor also signed deals at 50 Beale St. in the spring. In a sign of the city’s rapidly changing economy, old-line construction firm Bechtel and Blue Shield, the legacy health insurer, are both moving out of 50 Beale St. Sensor maker Samsara, software firm Workday (WDAY), and Sony’s (SNE) PlayStation video game division also expanded.
Globally, San Francisco has the seventh-highest rents in prime buildings. It’s still behind financial powerhouses Hong Kong, London, New York, Beijing, Tokyo, and New Delhi (San Francisco’s average office rents beat out New York.)
Only a handful of new office projects are being built, and future supply is further constrained by San Francisco’s Proposition M, which limits the amount of office space that can be approved each year. That is creating a steadily worsening structural shortage. Only two large office projects are under construction without tenant commitments.
Suddenly, it’s Not Crowded in San Francisco
