How the next breakout star for electric vehicles veered off course.

Everyone wants to invest early in the next Tesla (TSLA), which has seen its stock skyrocket 559% this year. Tesla’s rise has been fueled by the electric vehicle company’s ability to turn a profit for five quarters in a row for the first time in its history, and its impending addition to the S&P 500.

Covid-related growth rates are spiking. And it’s not just the virus. A few months ago, The Wall Street Journal reported that retail-investing volumes had climbed 30% on a year-over-year in the first half of 2020 to nearly 20% of all trades. One young client commented that “everyone and his uncle is trading their accounts constantly.”

It makes perfect sense. With so many people at home and so few available activities or distractions, trading stocks in an up-market, at zero commissions, has become the sport of choice for millions of Americans. According to an executive at a very large financial service company, which offers a mobile trading platform, third-quarter average daily volume nearly doubled over 2019 and the number of new accounts skyrocketed.

Knowing the identity of stock owners has never been easy, but that effort is now muddied by the rise in wholesale or high-frequency trading firms such as Citadel,

  • Zoom Video sank as much as 14% on Tuesday after the company’s quarterly report revealed an expected slowdown in sales growth into 2021.
  • The company’s third-quarter revenue and earnings beat estimates, and guidance for the current quarter and full fiscal year landed above expectations.
  • Yet the high end of Zoom’s fourth-quarter sales forecast implies growth of 330% from the same period last year. That’s less than the year-over-year growth seen in the second and third quarters.
  • Analysts have debated whether Zoom’s 200% rally from the market’s March lows is sustainable as COVID-19 vaccines near distribution and revenue growth slightly weakens.
