Ah, man…. As a person who has been an investor for over 60 years, this is getting to be too much. A thousand pages or so ago, I told my rules for my investing- not suggesting they are right for everyone. One is that the company must pay a dividend, so Tesla doesn’t fit for me. Another is I study the company’s long term performance. Again, Tesla doesn’t fit. So why do I own some Tesla? Curiosity, bemusement, etc. A few hundred pages back I remarked that I was surprised that that was worth a million dollars. Now it’s worth a lot less. Does this bother me? No. I still invest by Bernard Baruch’s rules. Even if I considered Tesla an investment, which some of you do( and for others it’s a speculation) I didn’t sell it that day, so that price in the paper was meaningless. I didn’t sell today, so todays price is meaningless. Now don’t jump on me. I know useful information can be gained from looking at prices, but an asset, or a whim, is worth what you can sell it for when you need to sell it. As for Elon, if you are an investor, you did your homework and know somewhat what he’s like. I can’t see that he has changed much as to speaking his mind. Over the years, I’ve been in a lot worse situations than this. Mostly they have worked out, but some were learning experiences. Tesla is a non investment that is transitioning from start up to semi mature company. Look at the stock history of most successful startups. Apple almost went bankrupt, for example.
