plenty of blue chip companies have entirely disappeared or their stocks have seen major losses that never recovered.
Sears, Lehman Brothers, Washington Mutual. General Motors was once a top stock in the S&P 500 for 15 or 20 years but went bankrupt in 2009 and wiped out, current GM is a different company legally.
General Electric also was a major American company whose stock gor crushed, but they've had an impressive turnaround.
AIG stock crashed from over $1000 and has never traded above $200 since then.
Xerox was one of the hottest most innovative tech stocks of the 1950s and '60s but look up the long-term stock performance.

Gold is a terrible long term investment because it doesn’t pay dividends that can compound. There are only selected windows where gold was amazing for a short period of time - like last year. Since 1968 gold is up 128x thanks to the big run up last year. The same period the Dow is up 323x with dividends reinvested and that includes crap like Kodak, Sears and GM that went bust. Well managed and diversified equity accounts did closer to 500x. People that don’t diversify almost always get shafted eventually.

Why not the mines that will supply them?
NOU, LAC, ETL, ELVR.
LCID has to compete with Ford and GM, it’s gonna be tough. As a swing trade, possibly. Saudis love to short and the subsequent squeezes that follow usually are good exit points.
I would keep an eye on this one till the 2030s. There’s still some hope yet.

What you're missing is Elon Musk. It's his company, your essentially betting on him, not the actual business metrics or valuations. Tesla is worth > 1.5 trillion by market cap, thats roughly 5x Ford, GM and Toyota COMBINED. Tesla, the actual company is not worth what the market values it at based on a traditional definition of "worth".
SpaceX is going to be more of the same. Ridiculous market cap, a P/E multiple that's not in any way rooted in reality, and volatility based solely on Musk's tweets and not at all on the health of the business.
That's what you're investing in if you buy, it's Elon's ability to over inflate the "value" of the business based on his reputation alone.

Large companies and corporations can go bankrupt quickly like Enron, Blockbuster, Kodak, Blackberry, GM etc. The S&P500 cannot unless the world ends. Higher risk, higher reward

not sure why this was downvoted, it's an honest question.
> Is there any stock that just never recovered?
well, let's define 'never recovered'.
(1) there are companies that just go out of business and disappear. examples include:
- Sears, once the top American retailer and part of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The entire company collapsed in slow motion and the stock became worthless.
- Lehman Brothers, an investment bank started in the 1800s that went bankrupt.
- Washington Mutual largest bank company bankruptcy in US history at at that point.
- General Motors, once the top stock in the S&P 500 but the company declared bankruptcy and original stockholders were wiped out. GM stock now is a different company legally.
(2) there are companies who stay in business but their stock deteriorates far below their peak and never recovers.
AIG, the insurance company and Cisco the IT company come to mind, they were both major players in their industries. Cisco is very dominant and well managed, but the stock still hasn't recovered from the dot com crash. look up a chart of AIG stock as it nosedived from over $1000 in 2008 and hasn't traded above $200 since then. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AIG/
There's a tiny company called NL Industries that used to be part of the Dow under the name National Lead before people understood how toxic lead could be.
Also Goodyear; Xerox and Kodak were once hot technology stocks of the day, in a sense, because 60 easy photocopies and instant cameras were revolutionary.

I’d mainly want to hear the AI part if it gets into actual operations, not just headline-level talking points. For a company like GM, the interesting questions are where it actually helps in manufacturing, supply chains, and vehicle software.

GM CEO Mary Barra talks economy, AI and more

Saying that "a fund which connects with 4100 companies as borrowers" is a diversified holding is the same as saying that putting all your money in GM is diversified because they have millions of customers. The Boglehead idea is to try and earn the average market return; putting 30% of your portfolio into an actively managed loan fund is speculation.
