Famous Investor Michael Burry Is Short Nvidia, Palantir, and Tesla. Why I'd Buy 1 of the Stocks, Hold Another, and Sell the Third.

Michael Burry is short on Nvidia, Palantir, and Tesla, but analyst Geoffrey Seiler disagrees with his bearish stance on all three. Despite Burry's concerns about AI spending slowdowns, Seiler recommends buying Nvidia due to strong capex trends and attractive valuation. Palantir is rated a hold despite high valuations, given its rapid growth and strong net dollar retention. Tesla is recommended as a sell due to loss of regulatory credits, weak auto sales, and execution risks in robotaxi and robotics ventures.

Only 2 "Magnificent Seven" Stocks Are Beating the Market This Year. What's Going On?

Despite the S&P 500 gaining 8% year-to-date, only Apple and Nvidia from the 'Magnificent Seven' tech stocks are outperforming the broader market. Investor concerns about high oil prices, massive AI capital expenditures, and elevated market valuations (CAPE ratio at 41) have pressured most mega-cap tech stocks. Apple's cautious AI approach and focus on iPhone sales, combined with Nvidia's dominance in AI chips (90% market share), have positioned them as safer bets during market volatility.

"Hope Is Not an Investment Strategy," Says the Lone Wall Street Analyst Who Hasn't Been Wrong About SpaceX

SpaceX stock has fallen 15% below its IPO price and 50% from its all-time high, with 37 of 38 Wall Street analysts rating it a buy or hold. However, CFRA analyst Keith Snyder's sell rating and $115 price target have proven prescient. Snyder argues that SpaceX's $28.5 trillion addressable market claim is questionable, the company lacks recurring profits despite positive adjusted EBITDA, and Elon Musk's history of unfulfilled promises (Tesla's Level 5 autonomy, robotaxis) suggests investors shouldn't rely on hope when valuing the stock.

Tesla Is Down 30% This Year. Here's Why I'm Still Waiting on the Sidelines.

Tesla shares have declined over 30% in 2026, but analyst Catie Hogan remains cautious about buying despite the dip. The company's Q2 operating income fell 57% year-over-year with margins collapsing to 1.4%, while free cash flow turned negative due to heavy spending on AI, robotics, and autonomous initiatives. With a trailing P/E ratio around 290 and $1.2 trillion valuation, Tesla's stock leaves little room for error, and future revenue streams from robotaxis and full self-driving appear already priced in.

SpaceX stock has crashed 50% from its post-IPO peak of $226 to $113 in less than two months following the largest IPO in history.
