5:1 Tesla stock split

[Cyber_Dav]

Why would I want to own Tesla? Once I have cybertruck I will be so gone. Money is for buying stuff and if you already have everything you want what's the point of more?

The thing is, I can't actually buy the Cybertruck yet. So the money was sitting there and I couldn't use it to buy stuff. So early this year I put the price of a Cybertruck into Tesla stock. I got in kind of late, but my stock has more than tripled. So, free Cybertruck.

And that answers the question of why I want to own Tesla.

disclaimer: Never invest money you can't afford to lose. I have no idea what any stock will do tomorrow. I may still lose it all by the time it should be ready to be used to buy a Cybertruck.

Same here.

I couldn’t afford any Tesla(used or new) in 2017 when I put a portion of my IRA into Tesla. That portion could now get me four tri-motor Cybertrucks.

If you donate to charity they all start calling.... Don't do it!?

Sadly, you are right about the reality that charities sell information [like every business], and I stopped giving to certain charities once I found out and ascertained the fact when they said they wouldn’t stop. I told them that they were giving up a lot more than they were gaining and said goodbye. I think I would rather give and see what happens downstream than to make assumptions up front that apply to everyone. It is certainly a conundrum of our times though.

We need a "Yelp for Charities" database...

There is one, but I forgot where I put the link. It evaluate charities along several metrics. I do not know if they have 'doesn't sell donor information' as an evaluation metric.

Got >200 shares of TSLA, soon to be >1000. Was tempted to take some profit (current cost basis <600)), but I want to see 2 things: The effect of the split, and the effect of the battery day announcement.

Sitting on 65 shares post split, the first stocks I ever bought lol. Hoping battery day pushes it up a lot!

Just don't do like Uncle Jed did back in the day and move to Beverly, I here the neighborhood has done gone downhill, shucks. In a few years you may very well be a millionaire, go long.

If you keep your savings in cash nowadays at 1.3% CD interest rates you are not keeping up with inflation which devalues the dollar an average of 50% every 20 years. Owning shares of good public and private companies is the secret to beating inflation in our current bloated federal government system.

Angies List I think has a charity review section.

Also here is a good link.

Given the number of rumors we've seen, and the number of Tesla enthusiasts who own stock, it's likely that everything we will see on Battery Day has already been priced into the stock.

I've learned the hard way most of the other Tesla investors read the same blogs and fora that I do, so I'm not ahead of the market.

And that's OK!

I wish people would not misuse that term. Here's an example of exponetial growth: Stock price today $2000; one year from now $2004; two years from now $2006.01.

Here is another: today $2000, 1 week from now $1809.67, 2 weeks from now $1637.46.

Stocks are not for the faint of heart. Research, rec

Stocks are not for the faint of heart. Research Research Research But if $1835 is too rich for you, consider at the end of the month you will have 5 shares for every share you purchased. That comes to $367 per share. Consider that Musk is expanding world wide and sinking big bucks into TESLA, what does that sound like? AMAZON! If you want a lighter investment look at LAC, they mine lithium in Nevada. And who’s in Nevada? Tesla Giga Nevada (or Gigafactory 1) is a lithium-ion battery and electric vehicle subassembly factory near Reno, Nevada. And what’s coming up in late September? Battery day! Do your research. Start small and have fun.

I hope some people looked at LAC, just paid off my dual CT with FSD, taxes and all!
