The market, certainly, had another rough day as financiers digested news regarding the Omicron version of Covid-19. plus word from Jerome Powell that the Federal Reserve may end its bond buying quicker than it had actually intended. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average both went down 1.9%.
It was, honestly, a good day to be obese Tesla in a portfolio. What wonders regarding Tesla stock is that the same declaration turned out to be real regarding half the the moment the market went down over the past year.
Coming into Wednesday, the S&P 500 had gone down simply greater than 100 trading days in the past year. TSLA stock has climbed 50 times on those days. Stock in Microsoft (MSFT), for comparison, has actually increased concerning 28 times when the market has gone down. It looks more secure to be in Tesla.

The S&P 500 has acquired around 0.6% on average on its up days and also shed 0.57% typically on the down days, over the past year.
The S&P, Tesla, as well as Microsoft have all had extra up days than down days over the past year. There isn’t much difference in the overall portion of days with gains. The S&P has climbed regarding 57% of the trading days over the past year.
Still, Tesla stock‘s recent activity does reveal two points: that the EV trend is fully ensconced in investors‘ minds, and that the shift is an crucial one. EV news can surpass practically anything else going on out there over the brief run. It‘s not a surprise given that EVs are transforming an market that creates about $2.5 trillion in sales yearly.

The whistle is trendy, and also persuading people to spend $50 for it is also cooler. That possibly isn’t the reason for today‘s surge though.
