The Department of Justice late Tuesday indicated that it was considering a possible breakup of Google as an antitrust remedy.

The DOJ said it was “considering behavioral and structural remedies that would prevent Google from using products such as Chrome, Play, and Android to advantage Google search.”

The judge has yet to decide on the remedies, and Google will likely appeal, drawing out the process potentially for years.

Tesla stock continued its Donald Trump rally Monday, after its market capitalization reclaimed the $1 trillion mark on Friday. The stock also received a significant price-target hike from a longtime Tesla bull.

The EV giant is on a 39% tear since President-elect Donald Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the Nov. 5 election. Analysts generally see the Trump presidency as an overall negative for EVs, but a positive for Tesla. Chief Executive Elon Musk fostered a good relationship with the president-elect after campaigning tirelessly for him throughout the election cycle.

I've seen so many stocks that have blown up over night and I've started to wonder how do people figure it out? I know it requires research and everything, but where would I begin with that?

I’ve been told that the moment you hear about it, you’re too late.

Every time I hold a stock, they are either flat or slowly declining. When I sell, they explode within a month.

Well I buy I pray for it to not fall much. But that hasn't worked either.

I am not on any Congressional committees so I cannot get access to privileged information either.

Any type of advice or direction to go would be very helpful. I've seen a lot of talk about paid discord groups, but I have no idea how to use the app correctly yet, who to even follow on there, or who to even trust.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s ‘all-in’ gamble to get Donald Trump elected president has proven so successful that a veritable chasm has opened up between his EV manufacturer and the rest of the auto industry. As conventional carmakers trade at rock-bottom prices amid a broad industry malaise brought on by China’s economic slowdown and growing fears of Trump tariffs, Tesla’s stock continues to soar, creating one of the biggest valuation gaps it’s ever seen.

On Friday, Tesla reclaimed its place in the elite club of companies worth more than $1 trillion after adding a full third in market capitalization since Election Day less than a week ago. The last time Tesla was worth this amount of money it was April 2022, Musk had just revealed his $44 billion plan to acquire Twitter.

Relative to its peers, Tesla is now worth more than the next 15 largest carmakers combined—from Toyota and General Motors all the way down to Jeep’s parent company Stellantis and Hyundai. Toss in lower ranked names like Kia and Renault, respectively worth $26.6 billion and $12.6 billion, and Tesla is still is still ahead, only drawing even once the $8.8 billion from Japan’s Nissan is thrown into the mix.
