Are you also investing in Tesla?

Alright, that's it! As a stockholder I demand Elon travel by armored tank convoy from now on!

One so secure something malfunctions and he's liked inside with no air.

As for my post, honestly it was directed more to posts like the one cauliflower made flipping out. Though, based on earlier posts it should have been clear playing stocks was something he shouldn't be doing In the first place.

Most stocks are down today. I'm with Mycroft.

You're either gambling or investing.

I'm doing both. I have shares that I will keep for a long time, but I think I'm going to sell some other stocks, jump in now, and sell off once it gets back to it's previous average. That's a gamble that I think will pay off.

It's usually a good idea to remember Warren Buffet's famous saying:

Investors should remember that excitement and expenses are their enemies. And if they insist on trying to time their participation in equities, they should try to be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.

Tesla Loses Two Model S Executives Before Sedan Makes Debut; Shares Slump - Bloomberg

*sigh* I'm truly cursed. The most money I put into stock in my entire life and I do it literally hours before something like this.

This conversation continues over here: Tesla Loses Two Model S Executives Before Sedan Makes Debut

However, discussions specifically about stock price, etc., stay here.

I'm just pissed I was away and not able to buy more, I guess I'll see what I can get next week.

That's why whenever I am following a stock, I keep a limit order on file for what I believe would be an exceptional buy (and if I am holding stock, an exceptional sell). I completely misjudged how low it would go. When TSLA was in the low 30's, I didn't think it would get back to $26, but you never know. Well that order just got filled. That way you don't have to watch the market every day and you can take advantage of weird stuff. I actually got AAPL on sale when the market had that fictitious crash (I think) 2 summers ago when a trader accidentally put in an extra zero. Yes, it's true, you can also get screwed... but that's the market.

Because I was a high school and college student the last 6 years on these forums, I didn't have any cash or opportunity to invest when the IPO happened. I noticed the news today right at 4 EST and managed to fire off a buy after-hours at $22.79, which I'm pretty pleased about. I'm in this for the long haul.... maybe if things work out it will turn into a downpayment on my [future] next-gen Roadster!

I bet a lot of stop-loss orders were triggered. Between those guys wanting to buy back in, folks like us looking for bargains, and a whole heap of shorts who might want to take advantage of the situation and cover up, Tuesday may be very interesting indeed!

It dropped so much I had two limit orders filled - some at $25 and some at $24. I wouldn't be surprised to see it settle back at $26-27 shortly, although I'll only be concerned if it stays under $35 in August. I'll sell some at that point, and let the rest stay put (and hope for dividends in 5 years).

I am so buying more on Tuesday morning! I'm sure a lot of short/margin has been squeezed out, and I'm sure there's a stabilization dead-cat bounce left.
