Lets all believe that Rivian,- with one single factory in one location, with a yet unproven product that just started selling vehicles is worth more then the entire valuation of Ford?

Exactly what we were told in school to keep a sharp eye out for... but I need to wonder perhaps to have a market cap today you do not have to have a tangible asset inventory or an established market segment?

If not then that gentlemen is the very definition of a "rigged game" where the whales select a technology and a company and bets on it simply because the political class and the FED shapes the market artificially through "green spending" and in the case of Rivian - Amazon promises of future purchases.

HINT-HINT... the US ARMY is reportedly looking at the NEW GM HUMMER EV for a big buy to replace the existing HUMVEE.

Tesla market cap has been disjointed since inception. At 1T it is bigger then the next 6 auto companies combined but produces less units! Valuation has changed For sure. I think part of what drives the Rivian stock early on is FOMO, Myself included. I have owned Tesla and sold it several times over the years and every time I sell it I tell myself I should’ve held onto it.
