Maybe CM can tell us how much a hundred million bazillion is?

Regarding Tesla, and the topic under discussion, I said they are not a growth stock. All companies grow, I didn't expect you to be so literal.
Barron's agrees with me.

To people knowledgeable about markets and investments, it looks a lot more like some confused finance journo at Barron's (there are many!) wrote that Tesla "is
not acting like a growth stock." (Not that it isn't universally considered one.)
Several months later, this popped up:

Right there in the title:
"Apple, Tesla, and 98 Other Growth Stocks that are Getting Their Groove Back"
Oops!
I'm not going to bad mouth the lady but I'll just say she is rich, so she has the luxury of speculating more than someone like I am able to do in the market. If she guesses wrong like many speculative investors, she probably doesn't even care at her age. She is 66 years old. Bad investment? Big deal, that's just less money for her kids and grandkids after she is dead, but they'll still get plenty of millions.... at least that is the way I would think if I was her age and had her money

Because she pulls down some awfully rich fees compared to most other fund managers. Estimates of the fees she's pulled down over the last few years seem to run in the $200-300 million range, I have read. (No matter how many terrible investment decisions she makes from here on out, she ain't likely to ever be completely broke!)
Mix a cocktail of wild exaggeration and hype, bizarro world narratives, and the ability to sling bullshit with consummate skill, and the sky's your limit.
That's a time-honored formula that's worked wonders for centuries!
