And it's still down 43% in the past year.

And still up 400% in the last 3 years. It's all relative.

Even the headline is stupid framing. It makes it sound as if Tesla has been largely down since 2013. Or at least hasn't seen very good days. But reality is they had an insanely good week percentage wise, they've had bigger point gains in a week in that same timeframe.

Anyways, context is important.

Is it? Stock is tanking and it’s more than Twitter; car quality is notably deteriorating, over prices repairs, tons of broken promises on features, the “tunnel” being worthless…

So it makes sense that people who are still holding (and claim to be millionaires off it… I mean until you sell it, it’s just a number) would want to argue that Tesla is a long play when it looks like Elon isn’t playing the long game by alienating his largest consumer base (damn libs and their love of sexy, electric vehicles).

It’s still up about 5x for anyone that bought before Covid (me). I bought in January 2020 on a whim for about $30 a share. It’s $178 today. Making 5x your money in 3 years is huge gain and you didn’t need to sell in 2021 to do it. You just had to buy in before Covid.

So you bought $200,000 of shares in Tesla, meaning you were already rich to start with.

If you only had 200,000 to start with, you would be a doll to invest it all in one company. So you must have had about a million to start with.

Lol, doesnt even know what FUD is. No wonder you’re dumb enough to think Tesla is a bad investment.

Lol, it objectively wasn’t. A stock going down does not mean it’s a bad investment. You’ d know that if you had any clue about this topic.

hi,

yes a stock losing 50% of its value over a year is absolutely inarguably a bad investment. Super super super bad investment. If I am not clear, let me explain again. Really very terrible horrible no good investment.

It is absolutely 100% impossible to spin losing 50% into a "great" investment. Not possible at all. Nope.

So, yeah, both of us are having a good laugh at this poster who is trying to brag about their Tesla investment.

No it’s not. Stocks go up and down. It’s not really an issue if you get in early and DCA when you can.

No one is trying to spin anything. You’re just wrong and you don’t realize that because, as I said, you’re incredibly ignorant about this topic. And have a myopic view on what investing is and how it works.

The thing is, if this was 2021 you wouldn’t say anything. You’re only suddenly an expert and certain about your beliefs because, in the moment, things seems to confirm your biases. But once Tesla goes back up (because it is a certainty that it will) you’re going to be kicking and screaming, like the moron you are, because you didn’t DCA when people more intelligent and educated than you told you to.

not 50%

a fantasy about the future does not give me (or anyone) much confidence in your understanding of how investments work.

> But once Tesla goes back up

I'm repeating that.

> you’re going to be kicking and screaming,

No I'm not. Lots of companies make large gains. I don't cry like a baby when one does.

> when people more intelligent

those are rare

> more educated than you

that's not possible

> people more intelligent and educated than you

there is a high probability that you are neither.

Stocks, can absolutely lose half their value. They can also recover it. If you didn’t know that, then it’s pretty clear you aren’t educated about this topic. And if you think Tesla going back up is a fantasy (already up 70% from the beginning of the month) then it’s clear you aren’t very intelligent.
