Micron Needs To Deliver Excellence, Or Else (Rating Downgrade)

Why Tesla Stock Hit an All-Time High Today

By Howard Smith – Dec 15, 2025 at 12:44PM ESTKey PointsTesla's EV sales keep sliding, but that's not what investors are watching.The company's robotaxis are moving to the next testing phase, according to CEO Elon Musk.

As of 12:30 p.m. ET, the stock remained up by 4%, just shy of the all-time high. News that Tesla's U.S. sales in November were the lowest since January 2022 hasn't deterred a recent rally, with shares up 18% in the last month. Image source: Tesla. Robotaxi progress Tesla's domestic sales fell 23% to 39,800 vehicles in November, according to Cox Automotive. That drop wasn't unique to Tesla, though. Overall, U.S. electric vehicle (EV) sales plunged 41% as the sector navigates the Trump administration's cessation of $7,500 federal tax credits at the end of September. Tesla's EV sales aren't what investors are most concerned about, though. The stock trades at a level that can't be justified by EV sales alone. The prospects for Tesla's autonomous driving technology are more important for many investors.

Templeton, CFA3.65K FollowersFollowHORAN Wealth LLC is an SEC registered investment advisor that manages investment portfolios for individuals and institutions. Our firm utilizes a disciplined investing approach that should create wealth for our clients over time. Our investment bias is to invest in companies that generate a steady return over time, i.e., singles and doubles. This singles and doubles approach tends to lead to investments in higher quality dividend growth/cash flow growth companies. On the other hand, there are times when a company's stock price seems to be trading below its fair valuation. Short term gains are possible in these situations. I have been managing investment portfolios for individuals and institutions for over fifteen years and believe investing is like running a marathon and not a sprint.

Crypto.com And Signal Markets Shape The Future Of Prediction Markets

(AUSTRALIA OUT) Hands over a crystal ball predicting share prices, 20 November 2000. AFR Photo Illustration by LOUIE DOUVIS Note: This image has been digitally manipulated. ***afrphotos.com*** (Photo by Fairfax Media via Getty Images via Getty Images)Fairfax Media via Getty ImagesWhy building the right predictive engine, not just trading contracts, will determine the future of prediction marketsPrediction markets have moved from a niche academic concept into one of the fastest-growing areas of modern market infrastructure. Once confined to election forecasting and small experimental platforms, they are now being used to express expectations across interest rates, inflation, corporate earnings, macroeconomic data, and geopolitical events.Recent activity highlights how quickly adoption is accelerating. Robinhood reported that users completed roughly eight billion prediction-market contracts across just the second and third quarters. Capital has followed participation. Kalshi raised $1.3 billion in 2025 and reached a reported $11 billion valuation, while Intercontinental Exchange, the parent of the New York Stock Exchange, made a multibillion-dollar strategic investment in Polymarket.The takeaway is clear. Prediction markets are no longer peripheral. They are becoming a core layer of financial decision-making.Scale Alone Is Not EnoughAs prediction markets mature, an important distinction is emerging between trading activity and usable intelligence. Simply offering a large number of contracts or generating high transaction volume does not automatically translate into insight.Raw probabilities, taken in isolation, can be noisy, misleading, or difficult to interpret. Without context, users may see volatility without understanding its drivers. For institutions, that lack of structure limits usefulness. For retail participants, it creates confusion.MORE FOR YOUThe next phase of prediction markets depends less on who lists the most contracts and more on who can design system
