There could be, but it would be pretty boring because once you've stated that the fundamentals of Tesla are sound, Elon Musk is the soul behind Tesla, short term ups and downs don't matter to the long term investor, the occasional post about quarterly result dates, and investor phone calls, you've run out of topics.
I understand what you are saying but, if it were globally accepted that the fundamentals were strong, the stock would not be trading at $245. That's why it is important and necessary for long term investors to continue to share their knowledge and experiential data with other like-minded investors, in order to confirm our perceptions (or not). JMO.
I never visited this or any other board as a long-term investor for several years. Just take a look at the financials once a year.
If there are just long term investors, they are long term because they have already determined that the fundamentals are sound. It's the shorts, vested interests, and FUDsters that created the $245, or $180, and none of them are long term investors. Traders are what create the comments because they're focused on daily changes.
So, your idea of a long-term investor is one who puts substantial money into a company because, at one point in time he has determined that the fundamentals are strong, and never checks to see if the fundamentals have changed or his original thesis was flawed? GLTY
The only downside, is Jordan was a money grubbing a**. He kept opening things up, never closing story lines and then decided to die with things completely unresolved. Seems like there's a decent shot GRR does the same.
Presumably you would do the same research that you originally did in the first place on a regular basis (annually or semi-annually). And if you found that circumstances had changed, you'd likely sell the stock and no longer be a long term investor.
Sigh. The article that started this discussion firmly said farms were a problem (without noting farm animals eat output of farms, ofcourse).
