People keep buying stocks. It’s a habit. Like breathing. Or worrying about the price of bread. They tell you there are opportunities, even when everything is already priced to the moon. So it goes.
These three companies, they’re leaders, supposedly. Growing industries, they say. Which mostly means other people are throwing money at them. It’s a strange game, this capitalism. A lot of hope. A lot of disappointment. Anyway, here they are.
1. Netflix
Netflix. They stream things. People watch. It’s a simple equation. They’re buying Warner Bros., which is…a lot of content. A lot of debt, too. Eighty-two billion dollars. It’s a number that makes you feel small, doesn’t it? So it goes.
They’ll tell you this means a deeper content portfolio. More choices. More subscriptions. They hope. The stock is down, which is good, in a way. Makes it cheaper to participate in the illusion. Thirty-one times earnings. It’s still a lot for something that’s essentially flickering lights and stories. But who are we to judge? Everyone needs a story.
2. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing
TSMC. They make the chips that make everything else work. The little bits of silicon that power our anxieties and our conveniences. They control seventy-two percent of the market. That’s a lot of power, concentrated in one place. Makes you wonder, doesn’t it? So it goes.
Nvidia gets all the attention, of course. The flashy designer. But TSMC is the factory. The quiet engine. Twenty-four times forward earnings. Analysts predict growth. They always do. Twenty-five percent annually. It’s a nice number. But numbers are just numbers. They don’t account for earthquakes or trade wars or the inherent fragility of it all.
3. Uber Technologies
Uber. They drive you around. Or they will, when they figure out the self-driving part. They dominate the ride-sharing market. Until someone else comes along with a better app or a cheaper robot. So it goes.
They’re partnering with Nvidia on the self-driving thing. One big company helping another. It’s a comforting arrangement, in a way. Twenty-two times earnings. Analysts are predicting twenty-two percent long-term growth. They’re optimistic people, those analysts. Perhaps they haven’t considered the possibility of flying cars or teleportation. Or simply people deciding to stay home.
Anyway, there they are. Three stocks. Three bets. The market will go up. The market will go down. It always does. And we, the little people, will keep buying and selling, hoping for a miracle. So it goes.
