Is Meta the stock to own in 2025?

January 10, 2025

Is Meta the stock to own in 2025?

Absolutely. Meta is quickly becoming the darling of institutional investors this year. The social media giant looks like a bargain at $616 per share and a price-to-earnings ratio of 29. We predict a P/E ratio of 50 by the end of the year. Mark our prediction to hold us accountable. We anticipate Meta doing a 6-way stock split before the spring. Meta's current valuation of $1.55T can be expected to rise to about $2.65T by December 2025.

Why are institutional investors so bullish on Meta?

AI. If any company has big data on humans, that is Meta. Meta has been collecting all sorts of data on billions of humans worldwide. Meta can leverage all that data to create AI social media "friends" and assistants for humanity.

While other companies like Elon Musk's Tesla believe they can provide AI "hardware" gadgets like self-driving cars and AI robots, success in that realm is still a few decades away. In the meantime, Meta will succeed in providing the software, cloud-based, AI assistance that humanity will learn to depend on in the remaining part of this century. 

Meta may become the most valuable company in the world by 2030. Chinese copycats of Meta, like Tencent, Alibaba, and Baidu, will also do very well in the next five years. Their market capitalization will not be as high as Meta's due to geopolitics and the intersubjective nature of economic valuation. However, they will also create impressive AI social media bots that will become increasingly valuable over time.

Creating wealth is about acquiring property rights expected to increase in value over time. Meta can be expected to continue appreciating over time. Consider acquiring shares in Meta this year. Stay diversified and don't go nuts putting all your eggs in Mark Zuckerberg's basket. Yet be sure to own Meta in your portfolio for the AI years to come. 

Remember that the AI revolution is just beginning. This is the time to invest in anything and everything related to AI. Think about cars and horse carts. AI will be to many industries what cars were to horse carts. AI will be to many industries what machines were to slaves: a liberating technology. Don't miss out. Invest now. Again, don't go crazy; don't rush. 

In investing, like in many other aspects of life if not all, slow and steady wins the race. Keep investing consistently in low-cost, well-diversified ETFs that hold Meta. Add some Meta shares on the side at regular intervals. Keep leveraging dollar cost averaging and compounding returns. Keep learning; keep doing. Remember that in this universe, there's no magic; only work.  

Now you know it.

When will the Tesla bubble burst?

December 11, 2024 When will the Tesla bubble burst?  We don't know Fools rush in. It's impossible to know exactly when the Tesla bubble will finally burst. Unfortunately for us at Creatix, we began shorting Tesla too soon. We are down almost 40% on our position as of today. We are not fooling ourselves thinking that we were ever make money on the short position. We truly doubt that Tesla can go down 40% any time soon.  We would love to add to the short position, but it would exceed our $3,000 limit on the stupid bets that we do for fun. We're not Mr. Beast. We have a very limited budget for ridiculousness. We would love to short Tesla tomorrow morning at the ridiculous share price of $424. Tesla is trading at an incredible 116 times earnings, which gives Tesla a market capitalization of $1.32 Trillion. Elon Musk added today $13.4 billion to his fortune. Yes, $13 billion in one day. Yesterday, he had added $11 billion. Yes, that's $24 billion in 2 days.  Six months ago, ...

Will prices go up or down during the Second Coming of Trump?

December 12, 2024 Will prices go up or down during the Second Coming of Trump? President-elect Donald Trump has acknowledged the difficulty of reducing grocery prices, stating, "It's hard to bring things down once they're up."  Lower Energy Costs and Better Logistics Trump hopes that lower energy costs and improved supply chains may prevent significant price increases on food. However, many economists believe that Trump's tariffs on foreign countries and massive deportation of illegal immigrants, which include millions of undocumented farm workers, will increase food prices.  Additionally, while Trump emphasizes the role that potentially lower energy prices may have in food costs, experts note that energy constitutes a relatively small portion of food production expenses. Energy prices may also increase despite experts forecasting that they will stay relatively low or go further down. After all, economists and financial experts are wrong often, almost all of the t...
