For example, what is happening now with the shares of "Tesla" (Tesla), although it only produces half a million cars for $ 600 billion, which is the value of the company, while a company like "Peugeot-Fiat" that produces 8 million cars annually, Worth 40 billion.

The stock market generally rises with the passage of time, and the stock exchanges are witnessing in some periods of declines, as happened with the Corona epidemic, and in these circumstances, the advice to everyone who has financial liquidity is to buy shares, because the share price decreases not because of the poor performance of the company but because of global conditions, and after the passage of A few months, the stock returns to rise, and then the investor will make good profits.
