Q: Hi,

Just curious, KoyFin is showing Tesla sales forecasts growing by 13.2% in 2025, 19.5% in 2026 and 17.24% in 2027. Earnings forecasts are growing by 13.09%, 33.05% and 26.71% respectively.

I would think at least the 2025 numbers are materially wrong at this point.

When does the reality of plunging global sales get reflected in these forecasts?

Thanks very much,
Michael

Q: How important/accurate is the Atlanta Fed's GDP Now forecast. As you know it has turned negative for the last two readings. What does this suggest for the US economy? Please feel free to wait for the March 17th reading if that might affect your answer. Thank-you.

Q: I am holding some cash on the sides. I was wondering if there was a way to put some of it into an ETF, perhaps a money market fund that holds foreign (non US) currency. Either a basket of stable currencies or something like the Euro or Swiss Franc. The idea is risk avoidance against a sudden sharp drop in the CDN dollar (and perhaps US$ too) given the current situation. I already hold several ETFs that hold Euro stocks but would like lower risk.
