> Wall Street believes current $$$$$ capital investments will create massive long-term value

Clearly not. The stock market has a correction at least every few years. So Wall Street only believes they can sell the stock for higher within a few years. Not very long term is it?

If you could predict a stock market correction before it happens, you'd be very, very rich. The fact that corrections sometimes happen does not negate the existence of market-wide expectations for any given stock.

Same goes for if you can predict the price of a stock... but analysts do it anyway and set targets for stocks.

The crash or not is part of the expectation. Regardless of what you read on articles, those fund managers often sit out situations they don't deem worthy of investing.

Or they think the returns from holding the stock will be higher.
