Tesla's sizzling rally won't last forever due to old-guard rivals like Ford producing more EVs, according to one analyst. The tech giant's shares have soared 109% in 2023 thanks to a breakneck rally since late April. But some of Wall Street's biggest names – including Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley – are warning the stock now looks overvalued. Tesla's stock has soared 109% in 2023, on track for the biggest six-month gain since 2020.

☆ A top Twitter staffer said its new encrypted DM feature was tested by a cybersecurity firm, but insiders say the company never signed a formal deal due to layoffs – report says
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-16 | by ( Pete Syme | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Twitter announced its new encrypted DMs feature last week. The project's lead said it had been audited by a cybersecurity firm; company sources disputed this, per Platformer. A Twitter engineer leading the platform's new encrypted messaging feature for paid users appeared to falsely claim that it had been audited by a top cybersecurity firm, Platformer reported. The idea is that by having DMs encrypted, text can only be read by participants of that conversation – as is the case on platforms such as WhatsApp. "I had [cybersecurity firm] Trail of Bits audit our implementation.

SVB Financial's share plunge is dragging on major bank stocks like JPMorgan and Bank of America. Here's everything you need to know about Silicon Valley Bank and its parent company SVB Financial.

☆ Expect Chinese stocks to rally hard now that Beijing has set a 'clear path' to reopening, Morgan Stanley says
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-06 | by ( George Glover | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Morgan Stanley upgraded its outlook for China equities and expects a move toward ending zero-COVID controls to boost stocks. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index could rally 13% from its current level by the end of 2023, strategists said. That could lift the Hong Kong Hang Seng index 13% and lead to MSCI's China Index jumping 14% as a revival in demand leads to companies posting stronger earnings, according to Morgan Stanley. But that doesn't mean investors should pile into Chinese stocks right now — with the impact of the economic reopening likely to lag until the second quarter of next year, according to Morgan Stanley. Official confirmation of that trip would likely further lift the market's view on Chinese equities, strategists said.
