2024 Stock Market Report.

Report for 2024 and Plan of articles for 2025.

2024 surprised many with its ups and downs, the horrors of the war in Ukraine and Israel, the defeat of the Democrats and the hope of the American people for a New Future for their country.

Amazing and surprising Elon Musk.

We will never know the juicy details of what really happened in the case with the change of Tesla TSLA registration from Delaware to Texas. But most, as always, were satisfied with the official version from the newspapers.

I think that with the change of Tesla registration, the state of Delaware lost a lot. But the state of Texas lost the same amount, and maybe even more.

If in April 2024, Tesla shares fell to $142, then in December, Tesla shares reached the level of $ 479. In other words, if you took a risk and invested in April, then in December you earned $479 - $142 = $337/per share for your risk.

Unexpected moves.

Unexpected scandal with Super Micro Computer SMCI.
I will skip all the details - they are in the news. But in 2024, a successful company fell from $118 in March to $18 in November. And everyone who sold shares in November lost $118 - $18 = $100 on each share. Given that the company's Revenue for June 2024 was $5.31 billion.

Investors in Crowdstrike Holding.
Investors in Crowdstrike Holding SRWD were surprised by the fall of shares from $385 in July to $225 in August. But everyone who risked investing at $225 received a risk reward on the rise in December to $388.

Boeing Co.
If someone had told me in 2020 that the mighty Boeing BA, a company with a long history and shares at a price of $323 in 2020 would fall to $95 and in December 2024 would cost $140 and then $177 in December 2024 - I would never have believed it.
But the market is the market. And every company can make mistakes.
Especially when the management of the company is entrusted not to an engineer, but to a sales manager. And here is the result.

Intel Corp.
The great company Intel INTL.
Which in January 2020 was worth $68 per share.
In October 2022 it fell to $25. And by December 27, 2024 it stopped at $20 per share.
And this means that the owners of the company have not learned anything from the falls of 2022 and the falls of 2024.

When no one understands "how"?

No one predicted the company's QUBT 1,958% takeoff. And in vain.
Such a prophet could have earned $1,958 with an investment of $1.

Who could have expected that a company with a revenue of $101,000 would suddenly make 1,958% in a year?
Of course, the one who raised the shares immediately sold them at a good price. But on December 31, 2024, the shares stopped at $16.55 (instead of November $1.05-$1.43). 

Does Cinderella need a pumpkin if a fairy can whisper to her about a 1,958% rise in unknown shares?

RCAT - Red Cat Holding - 1,350%.
QBTS - D-Wave Quantum Inc.: 938%.

Sound Hound AI Inc.
Unlike the previous ones, Sound Hound is a well-known company.
Wall Street analysts have been writing about it for a long time.
Soundhound develops what we all hate when we call our insurance company and the robot torments us with stupid questions.
And then, when we finally get on the line to a person, the operator asks us all the same questions that the robot asked us five minutes ago. 

This is humiliation of people. Not white or black. But totally everyone. So the Sound Hound company recognizes your voice.
Why? If you still say something so that everyone knows who said it.
SOUN - SoundHound: 900%.
