Related to the discussions of Facebook and Google policies, I was wondering what your take on the following - in this case investor manipulation, something we've also discussed here frequently in the past.
A friend had mentioned walking the Camino in Europe, and to get more insight, I looked up some Youtube info on the one bit of insight I had - a movie called "The Way" with Martin Sheen. I found a decent video discussing the plot and how well it relates to the real experience. Long story short, I was cooking dinner and Youtube automatically segued to the ad that plays at the end (and beginning) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZCUZPUupk8). Seems like a well targeted misinformation piece to con misinformed, easily manipulated investors into their clutches. Pretty vile, but its the obvious Youtube collusion/targeting that I'm more disturbed by. I wonder if the same ad appears for everyone, or if they used additional user algorithms to target me specifically.

Pretty vile, but its the obvious Youtube collusion/targeting that I'm more disturbed by. I wonder if the same ad appears for everyone, or if they used additional user algorithms to target me specifically. Things are targeted. I doubt to a personal level, but to a general group, especially based on your history. Similar to what shows up in the youtube sidebar, with a mix of other videos based on what you are currently watching, and what you have watched before. So, instead of an ad with what you describe, I saw one about "why are we fatter than past generations". I see those things a lot. I think I let one of those ads play too long one time, whether it was a "don't eat this one thing" or "do this one exercise". FWIW, the movie was good. I believe it's one that Prime has for free, though we might have borrowed it from the library. And that youtube guy was good, basically pointing out potential problems on the Camino, that matched what my wife hit backpacking part of the John Muir Trail this summer. There's a big difference about stores and lodging, but the main parts stick. Her hiking group was going to be 4 but ended up being 2, and her hiking partner wanted to do more miles per day. With rough terrain, even with light packs, her knees eventually bugged her too much and she stopped early. And they needed more food than they had planned even for 3 people. There's always something to learn.

I think I understand their point, that if the stock rises up to such and such point it is likely to move even higher, and with the probability higher the risk is lower. But the LTBH investor in me always thinks it's a little strange when they are recommending a buy point higher than the current stock price. Buy now, for an extra $7 off! Ken Fisher had a piece related to this. I've never put money with them, though I spoke with them a decade ago. In general from a money management group they tend to match my thoughts more than most, mainly being long term and just looking to beat the market by a little instead of aiming for the sky. www.fisherinvestments.com/en-us/marketminder/bull-market-bounciness-isnt-a-call-to-action

Hmmm ... ironically, it's also the tech stock with the highest earnings and cash flow, by far, over multiple periods during the last 10 years. I think we can only conclude that earnings are somehow correlated (remember folks, correlation isn't causation .. LOL) with [over]valuation.
