What's your exposure to TSLA in terms of # of shares after all your leveraged positions? Judging from your comments it seems like you are exposed to the effective movements of 100s of thousands of shares if not more? How do you stay calm on a day like today?
Effective exposure is in excess of 50,000 shares including common and calls
Already up in excess of $3 million in unrealized profits since I initiated the position on December 19, 2016 hence no cause for panic
If things go as I suspect and we get a parabolic move then I expect to make millions more within the next several months
Of course I could be wrong and just as easily lose all my profits and more
It took me 3 years to make a profit of $875k in Googl and Cmg from 2005 through 2008
Less than a year to lose 1.2 million in 2008-2009
Left a potential profit of $7.9 million in BIDU between 2008 through 2012 on the table by selling too soon
It took me 1 year to make a million in profits in FB from January to December of 2013
Took another year to make a second million in FB from July 2015 through July 2016
Then took me 5 months to lose a million in TSLA from July through November 16 yes I actually sold TSLA at the bottom at $182 on November 16, 2016 then bought it back at $203 on December 19,2016
I don't have enough time or space to write down all my adventures and misadventures in the stock market since 1998. Suffice it to say that I live and breathe the stock market and wouldn't trade in my passion for stocks for anything in the world
Now so far my biggest score in less than 6 months
That tells me that TSLA has lot more potential than most stocks I've ever traded and if traded right this stock is the real deal and could be a true wealth maker similar to AAPl or AMZN or NFLX
Of course, I could be terribly wrong and lose my shirt in 2 days after ER
So, Not an advice (need I say it anymore, kinda redundant isn't it)
