Lots of people really want to convince the public there is a bubble.

Hmmm...

My advice: if you actually want to know the truth of what is going on, get a general understanding of finance and read the actual financial statements/filings and their disclaimers. It's very easy to write articles like this that cherry pick certain numbers out of context to support a specific narrative. Reuters is in the process of liquidating their reputation in the same way that forbes and business insider and many others publications have.

Do you have evidence that Reuters is misleading? Please prove it, otherwise this is just hearsay

I've seen plenty of evidence and I could take a bunch of time to dig it up and present it to you... Or you could just take note to think critically about the content whenever someone else is paying for you to read an article instead of you paying for it yourself. (Even if it's for a source which historically had a good reputation)

Maybe I'm being chastised and down voted by real people who take offense to encouraging study and critical thinking about information that impacts financial decisions on a website with community guidelines that encourages intellectual curiosity, or maybe I'm being attacked by LLM bots in a time when it's never been cheaper or easier to do so.

Youre riding a fine line between being curious and sealioning. If you're actually curious, try asking another way.

How are you going to find trustworthy financial statements of a company that's private and can cherry pick what they release?

Wait until they actually IPO... And ignore the noise until then?

its not a public company, there's no s1 or 10q to read

They cherry pick financial data to make themselves look healthier than they are, which is all you need to know.

No, that's not all I need to know. I need to know much much more than that, because my needs follow from my wants and I want to understand the full truth.

I can think for myself, and I don't need you, or Reuters, to think for me, thank you.

I think you missed the point. You can't know the full truth, because they are lying.

Terrible post.
