Not to rain on your parade but…

I have too much invested in climate alarmism stocks and I have been searching for growth alternatives. I like retail and Amazon and Shopify have been market darlings. SHOP is down 75% from its all time high, the P/E has dropped to around 20, and they have lots of cash from the secondaries offerings of the 2020-21 bull market. What’s not to love?

Let’s play Market Charts! Comparing past performance is not a guarantee of future results but if you don’t have a crystal ball to see the future then you have to use what you do have. So I compared SHOP and AMAZ against my climate alarmism stocks. Shocked! Shocked I tell you! Fasten your seat belts before clicking the link!

SHOP vs. AMZN, ENPH, and TSLA 3 year chart. https://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/advchart/frames/frames.asp…

While SHOP is down 75.6% from its all time high, ENPH is down 32.3% and TSLA is down only 29.0%. But to hold ENPH and TSLA you have to ‘bear the slings and arrows of outrageous volatility.’ Thanks Bill, you write nice!
