It Fell 10% Overnight...
Markets have been pushing higher lately šā but when prices go up too quickly, stocks with crazy valuations are the first to crack.
Just look at PLTR (Palantir).

During our most recent Invest with Pete Live Webinar, someone asked me about it during the Q&A. My answer was simple:
ā
Promising business.
ā But⦠valuation? Nuts.
Even after falling -10% yesterday, PLTR is still trading at over 500x PE š³

As a long-term investor, I always say:
Investing = Great Business + Reasonable Price
Sure, Iām happy to pay a premium for a good business ā but this? Itās a bit too rich for me (pun intended š ).
āļø Risk vs. Reward: What Matters Now
Timing matters: Strong momentum and institutional demand are real, but any miss on future earnings or contracts could hurt ā hard.
Valuation vs. growth tradeāoff: Palantir is bullishly priced. If its AI and government revenue growth continues, it may hold value. But expectations must be met ā and then some.
Crowded trade: With PLTR added to key indexes (like Russell), more institutional inflows followābut that also sets stage for sharp reversals if sentiment shifts
That said, if youāve already made gains on PLTR, congrats! But donāt forget to take profits. You donāt want to be left holding the bag when the hype fades š
š¬ What I Told You on Live Webinar
We highlighted PLTRās potential impact in defense and AI, but I stressed it was not my core tradeāvaluations are just too rich right now. Better opportunities lay elsewhere.
Itās a classic investor trap: price can afford extreme optimism for a while, but fundamentals eventually catch up. Itās okay to ride good companiesābut never at any price.
