Watch that wash rule, if it is a taxable account.
Plus, if you have been in since 2012, that's a big cap gains hit to take.
Not advice, just food for thought.
That is, nonetheless, very good advice. Despite the huge drop in share price I still am in an arena for which capital gains would seriously outweigh alternative choices. One benefit of HODL is ignoring the lows because the highs will also come. Were the fundamentals of TSLA not so compelling I would have a different story.
All of us should calmly review the future prospects of TSLA. If anyone thinks the prospects are bleak, liquidate or short the stock, or both. If thinking the prospects are positive HODL. As nearly all of us know by now, leveraged 'investing' or otherwise 'investing' in derivatives does expose risks greater than are the potential profits. For those who choose to do that, please do not expect commiseration in this thread.
We have many people who are feeling a trifle desperate just now. They are now populating the entire thread with their complaints. This thread is meant to be about investing, not speculation. There are other threads for speculation; please use them.
Here, please keep on the subject. We are in serious risk of using all the goodwill, and have our stellar contributors such as
@Gigapress,
@The Accountant and others leave. That is pretty much what happened a few years ago, too.
I've been though this since 2012 in one guise or another. Many of us have done that.
For every one who's happy polluting the forum with nonsense just keep in mind that those who actually provide content are leaving now. Is that what you want? If so keep it up.
Scatology, idiotic quotations, photos of pulchritude, all that fits well with Tinder. Keep it gone here. All the irrelevant commentary about unrelated subjects should be placed on different sites, not this one.
Then last week has had nearly no useful content. Everyone serious has limits.
Even the original creator of this thread has limits.
I recommend any of the other public sites, content free as policy. You'll be happier there.
The rest of us want to discuss TSLA and maybe a bit of SpaceX.
