For anyone who's been around for a while, how irrational would you say this market is? Relative to previous periods of peak market irrationality.
Right now we have enterprise software stocks like SAP trading at record low valuations despite no change in fundamentals. Meanwhile you have a rental car company like Avis trading up 300% in a month for no reason whatsoever.
And the market is pumping depite US GDP growth being revised down from 4.4% to 0.5% (vs 2.8% initially expected).
Idk maybe I'm having a crisis of faith in this market. But how do you make this make sense?
Avis (CAR) stock price increased 300% in one month without a fundamental reason. This parabolic move is unsustainable and likely driven by speculative fervor, not business performance. The stock is severely overvalued and presents a shorting opportunity as sentiment reverses. Speculative momentum could continue; potential short squeeze; undisclosed positive catalyst.
SAP is trading at record low valuations despite no change in its fundamentals. This disconnect between price and fundamentals represents a potential value opportunity. The stock is likely undervalued and may correct upwards as the market recognizes its intrinsic value. Prolonged market irrationality ignoring value; deteriorating fundamentals not yet reported.
