Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

With the caveat that if you have to go to work, or anywhere else, when the power is out your house loses all power.

Yup- V2G could be useful- in the sense of large #s of cars where at least some % in any given area are parked/plugged into the grid at any given time- for buffering high demand and various other purposes like helping with time shifting in some cases...

But it's not a true powerwall replacement unless you plan to leave it parked at home 24/7/365.

In which case it's a very expensive powerwall replacement.

That's why you own 2 Teslas...

Every YouTube Tesla bull have to go through the phase of discovering the power of click bait titles, James is too experienced to not do it at least once.

My etrade doing the same, it says I have $16 million dollars worth of TSLA.

Well E*TRADE has updated the price of TSLA to the post-split price, but the option prices are still completely out of whack.

$91Billion!

What’s that?

I don’t remember having to double click the key to ‘start’ the car...? I would normally sit in my 2016 S, shift into D and drive... Bad memory?

Probably has passive entry turned off. (Which was added to prevent hackers from extending the fob signal and stealing your car.)

I'm angry about my Schwab Experience showing me that my AAPL and TSLA have multiplied by 4 and 5 respectively, and their share price has divided by the same proportions. I demand the enhanced experience other brokers are offering where my portfolio is suddenly worth multiples of what it was yesterday (Fidelity, Vanguard, TD Ameritrade) or is now worth negative numbers (Robinhood)! Stupid Schwab, if I wanted accurate numbers in my portfolio, I would have asked for them! Stop ruining my experience!

Also Apple deleted your Fortnite Experience a few weeks ago. Tim Apple had to show Tim Sweeney who's the boss of their platform.

My Schwab account says my net worth tripled. Living the dream.

As some (myself included) have gotten a laugh out of seeing their brokerage account balances blown through the roof, at least temporarily, there’s something you can do to change that laughter into almost tears.

Figure out how much you paid for your shares, now imagine if you had sunk all of that into the TSLA IPO, and never sold a share. Sobering thought, huh?

Oh, and I captured my Fidelity screenshots today. Someday I hope to see those figures again.

 

[Prunesquallor]

He is not. But you could invest just 10% of your portfolio directly in TSLA to match the YTD performance of ARKW.

That's what happens when you sell off your winners.

Sure. And In that scenario, if TSLA had tanked a year ago, the majority of your investments would be intact, whether you had put them in ARKW or not. The question then Is would the remainder of ARKW subsequently have performed better than the remainder your personal picks?

To me, the real question is what should ARK do when one of the fund components goes totally ballistic like TSLA? Their strategy seems to be limit to 10% and use the profit-taking as an engine to reinvest into the process of finding the next winner. (If they keep accumulating a single stock that dwarfs the other fund components, they stop serving a useful purpose - anybody can do that). The ultimate endpoint would be a diversified portfolio (at least 10 companies) full of winners - relatively resilient to an unexpected failure of a couple of them.

That may or may not make sense based on your conviction of the expected growth rate of TSLA. Certainly over the last year, nothing matched the performance of TSLA alone. If you believe that will continue through your investing horizon, no need to mess with diversification.

Which is what I think Lodger said

Absolutely, unless you have a second car (hopefully another Tesla).

 

[JusRelax]

$91Billion!

Are you Elon Musk?

Fun fact: If Elon Musk's shares are recorded in any way similar to some of the brokerages that recorded the stock split but haven't cut the price by 80%, He'd already be recorded as the richest man in the world! (And it's not even close, haha)

 

[wipster]

Woo hoo, I'm a Teslanaire now! But prolly not for long...

Well I'm back to being NQA Teslanaire again, with 5 times more shares worth 442.68 each... can't wait until Monday morning (but I'll probably still sleep in).

Have a great Sunday!

 

[Ameliorate]

I guess if one were single, they could make use of this temporary accounting by trying to pick up someone at a bar this weekend. "Oh what's this, I accidentally opened up my etrade app?"

On second thought.....Maybe Monday is better. RBC is no fun!

Shares still unchanged

 

[mrdoubleb]

Why is Tesla not in the left column?

According to our own TMC tally they've sold 111.119 cars in Europe last year. Barely missed the Top list.
