Tesla has another 25% upswing to even match its previous highs. I think it will get there a lot sooner with Trump at the helm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Full disclosure: Own 288 shares of Tesla with a cost basis of $15.14 https://www.imagebam.com/view/MEX99N7 It was around $140 as recently as April. It rallied to around $263 in early July, dropped back down to around $190 in early August, went back up to around $260 in anticipation of a Robo taxi event they had in Vegas on October 10. Investors weren't impressed and it dropped back down to $220 Started coming back again & for the reasons you mentioned above, is Now trading just under $300 a share. Your question seemed to imply you're thinking of buying. In the end, you're the only one who can make that decision, but I wouldn't buy @ these levels.

Diversification and low cost fees are the other two secrets. You're not getting low cost fees hiring a broker who won't/can't beat an index fund 80% of the time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easilyscan 716 Posted November 8 Quote Posted October 24 Tesla killed it today. I couldn't resist selling out of the money covered calls. God bless whoever came up with that 'option', & God bless those foolish enough to buy them. A little voice was telling me not to be cocky, I didn't listen. Those calls I sold for a little over a buck that day, are fetching just under 8 bucks today. Mainly because of the Trump effect relating to Tesla, which has skyrocketed. Not making any predictions, but most indicators say the market is overbought. https://www.multpl.com/s-p-500-price-to-sales https://www.multpl.com/s-p-500-pe-ratio https://www.multpl.com/s-p-500-price-to-book https://www.multpl.com/shiller-pe https://www.multpl.com/s-p-500-dividend-yield S&P 500 Technicals https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just be consistent and you'll be fine. Yeah, I made money selling the calls, & I still hold all 288 TSLA shares. I think an investor would be doing well to sell 'around the top' 6 or 7 times out of 10.
