Sorry, I never drank the kool aid...you folks are on your own. But I did warn you about the stock many times. Your welcome.
Actually, it is precisely thanks to you and others like you that I have invested heavily in Tesla.
You see I am a believer in the efficient market, i.e. I believe that all available knowledge including the potential for future earnings of any given company is already baked into its stock price, before I have a chance to act on it.
So I would never buy stock, because doing so would imply that I consider the stock to be undervalued and that I am thus betting against a market that I believe to be perfectly well informed. (Instead, my wife and I have basically all our wealth in real estate).
However, for Tesla the market consensus is the average of two views so wildly disagreeing, that at least one must be seriously mistaken. Having followed Tesla for some years and with some knowledge of their underlying technology, I have concluded that it is the bears who are (most) mistaken in their valuation of Tesla.
So with a mistaken bear side, it follows that Tesla is significantly undervalued, and thus a rare opportunity for investment (for a retail investor who is effectively betting against the house).
Thank you for your service.
