    I bought stocks at 170 and sold a few days ago at like 150. Would not recommend.

    If the report is bad, Tesla will probably be back at 110.

      Puts are where it’s at anyway. Hard to predict good moves… easy to see dumb ones that will hurt shortly after they are made.

        I tried that with them a couple times when it was obviously overvalued years ago. Damned thing just kept going up.

        It’s alright, it’s part of the game. If we knew how the stock would move, we would all be millionaires.

          Just curious; why individual stocks rather than index funds? Is it just the gambling aspect of it i.e. chance of a quick win or is there something more to it?

            Chance of quick win. Individual stocks can move 5-10% in a day and index funds move much more slowly.

            But yeah everyone says it’s almost impossible to beat index funds long term.
