Time to raise stop loss limits, thinking of $95, any thoughts? (purchased at $37 & $55)
STOP think back, when we hit 55 some said including me, this is too high I'm taking a profit... it took till when we hit about 70, I bought back in with not nearly as many shares as I had before... I am never selling any shares anymore... EVER I am only buying. I was crazy to not buy more at 90 in the dip, I thought about it but I passed. TSLA is the most unique stock on the market... Don't ever sell till it is the first stock to have a market cap of 1 trillion dollars.
This feels like it cannot last. I thought I'd never say this of TSLA, but now it's rising on hot air. I simply don't know what to do now - don't want to sell a long term investment, but don't want to sit through the strong dip I sense coming either. I think I'll risk offloading a big chunk and come back in around 90-100 again...
when you see more people post things like that about TSLA then that's the time to sell...a la AAPL goes to $1000!

So the stock jumped almost 10% today without any news at all? Not even a tweet? Could this be price manipulation being done on a slow holiday trading week?
AAPL is their own undoing...
Hey Tim, we got this $100 billion dollars sitting in the bank account. Any idea what we can spend it on??
No idea.
How about new sectors? Surely there must be some new and emerging new technologies out there?
Nope.
No new technology? 3D printing? Electric cars? Nano-technology? Materials?
All fads.
How about just using the interest on that to hire 35'000 Engineers perpetually in all random fields of science & engineering and see if someone creates something of value?
We already have Siri.
Ok... I guess we can return it to shareholders.
Sounds good to me!
I'm thinking it's unlikely that we will see a sub-$100 price for TSLA ever again.
Ever?
What did Netflix stock owners think when the stock was pushing $300 that they'd never get below $200 again? Well, it ended up dipping well below $60. Who knows what bad news could come?
Let me tell you a story: I owned 1,000 TSLA, average price was about $28.50.
It flirted with $50, droped down, headed up again, dropped down....
I said "Next time it get near $50, I am selling it all, I'll buyback in at a lower price". Well, I was able to sell the position at $47, made nearly an $18K profit.
a week later, I said "what the hell am I doing?", so I bought back 300 shares @ $52 (1/3 of my position at $5/share higher). The theory was I was only going to put the "gains" into the stock. And this is what the position is as of today, still.
So I have a nice gain of 300 shares from $52 to todays close of $117 or so, but wouldn't I have been better off with 1,000 shares from $28.50 to $117? yup, that would have been a smarter move. Capital gains don't have to be considered because the shares are held in my 401K.
It's the difference between $117K - $28.5K (would have been $88.5K in paper profits)
VS
where I am: $18.5K of booked profit + [$35,100 (300 shares @ 117) - $15,600 (300 shares cost @ 52) or $19,500 paper profit]. $38K total profit currently.
Big difference between $88.5K versus $38K (yup, this bonehead move cost me $50K) My advice, don't do it. It will cost you shares, and your position long term, because you won't get back it, or will miss the opportunity to get back in.
this is pretty much my sotry....however unfortunately had a much bigger discrepency between selling and buying them back.
hence, i agree completely. hold tight. when car mags, consumer reports and cnn start gushing about the gen 3 then its time to start THINKING of selling...
As long as Tesla can maintain it's greatest strength which is it's phenomenal demand resulting from a phenomenal product, then there's no reason to think we won't see it keep uptrending.
