The idea is to try, to experiment, to move forward, to learn, and to do so without fear. Otherwise we remain immobile, stagnant, ignorant and fearful.
Since I expect the share price of Tesla and some other to rise faster than expected, I might be able to retire in six rather than ten years. But I don‘t want to necessarily sell my shares. Is there a strategy to live off shares but not to sell them? Some points for me to google about? Thx!
This is a very useful post for people relying on a single person to be their financial adviser. That person is doing it as a job and for the most part will follow what they learned in school to advise you. They almost can’t tell you “Keep your portfolio high in TSLA and don’t diversify.” If they do that and are wrong, they would probably lose their position if you complained seeing as it goes against what they are supposed to advise.This is really starting to irritate me. So many people getting told by ‘professionals’ to do this or do that because ‘they’ know better, are supposed to know better, should know better, but don’t. It makes it so hard for people to know which professional to listen to and when.
My tax guy, who’s been incredible over the years, for the first time told me earlier this year to consider selling some TSLA because I’m too heavy in it and taking a huge risk.
Of course this was after it had hit $180s and was hovering in the low $2s. (I was adding a share on every ‘there is a demand problem’ post I read - yes, I really did that).
He was genuinely concerned I was putting myself in a bad spot and he told me straight up the SP was going to continue lower. I smiled and then ignored his advice.
I have recently talked to him and jokingly asked him, ‘Now what?’ His advice was ‘At this point, I can’t advise you. Assess your situation and do what you think is best for you.’ He gets props for trying to look out for me and then quickly realizing he was wrong.
The lesson for people is that professionals are;
a) people just like everyone else and therefore not perfect and make mistakes
b) not all equal; somebody graduated at the top of the class, somebody at the bottom, and everyone else are shades in between - additionally their graduation placing has no baring on their future abilities to be good at their chosen profession, it’s far more complicated than that. Some of the most brilliant (at their chosen profession) people I know never graduated from college/university, some never even finished high school
c) not necessarily impartial and can tend to project their personal beliefs and realities onto others
d) not necessarily honest, good, or on your side - sometimes they are for themselves at your expense
e) people just like everyone else and sometimes they don’t know better than you (and their poo stinks just as much as yours)

Musk setting the record straight on the emerald mine FUD isn't why he should stop tweeting, even if it has an effect on the SP. Honestly, I'm actually glad he's debunked that one.
Musk making enemies of urbanists by crapping all over mass transit and the science of induced demand is why he should stop tweeting, as this directly goes against the mission of sustainable transport, even if it doesn't have an effect on the SP.
There are areas where induced demand has less effect, true - remote rural areas. But induced demand even happens in closer-in rural areas - especially as road infrastructure is built out towards them, they build up as exurbs of a major city, and then they get the city's traffic problems. The faster transport is, the more an urban area can sprawl, further reducing sustainability through increasing transportation energy requirements (and making it harder to get around the area for those who can't afford the fast transportation technology).
Basically, while he debunked FUD about his background, there's been a lot of FUD going around that Tesla is part of the problem because they're still making cars. While replacing ICE cars with EVs for those that are unable to eliminate car usage does improve sustainability, we do need sustainable non-car transport, and Musk's stance isn't helping. (It's still FUD even if it's true, though, because... let's face it, while Volkswagen and Toyota do make buses for some markets including their home markets, do you see either of them truly promoting mass transit? Basically, Tesla beating the ICE incumbents leaves us better off than not beating them.)
Invest with intelligent gusto. Because you will need a lot more money than you think to retire in an age of low-interest rates and rising prices for everything from good food to healthcare. The only reason I've been able to maintain my retirement for the last 20 years is that my stocks outperformed my expectations! But you can't count on that.

Does a Tesla bear Sh!t in the woods?

Says the cat alone on a island.Non issue and irrelevant. You can choose to drive above ground while others can choose to avoid the traffic and drive in the tunnels.
People have such a hard time adjusting to change for a variety of reasons, but the one above is that you automatically assumed you’d have to give up something you think is better.
Change is not all or nothing. It’s definitely not static. And change can always go back to what it was before if that was indeed better.
