I do, something idiotic.
Whoopee!

I need some hand holding. After Q2 earnings I said I wouldn't sell anything until after S&P500 inclusion. Now we also have the split at the end of the month. I need to retire at the end of the year. I am willing to sell 1/3 of my shares to do it. I could sell now and do ok, but if we go to 2500 or 3000 things get really good. I'm freaking out a little because if it goes back down before I sell, then I'm screwed. My anxiety level is at a 10. There is no way the SP is lower than this in a month... right?!? Excuse me while I go breathe in a brown paper bag....
330...33 + 0....66....3x3 + 0......many ways to interpret those numbers....ill settle for 33 to set the bar low.
Congrats! I am sure it is well deserved. Maybe you can do some side projects installing powerwalls for TMC members in the Los Angeles County?I’m astonished at my lack of TSLA emotional IQ. I’ve damn sure had time to develop it. It is not easy to put aside emotion when making trading decisions.
My final day at work will be Wednesday. Retirement itself evokes strong emotion. Now is the time for each of us to bring all the reason we can muster and make sound choices.
Is it possible to develop a stepped strategy? Can you devise a strategy that will secure your retirement and still leave opportunity for future growth?
All the best
If anything...i wouldn't touch any shares until after battery day...heck...i would even wait for Q3 numbers, (however, we all know what happened after Q2). Hard to say with the election coming up and still uncertainty in the world. Does is have to be 1/3? why not do 1/5?I need some hand holding.

Here is how the current list looks like for upcoming Tesla events. Let me know what else to add.
The thing is Tesla didn't go from $15 to $1800 in a day. It took 7 years and countless peaks and troughs. Everyday you wake up, you have the opportunity to sell. Yet, everyday you make the decision to hold. You didn't budge at 50%, 100%, 200%, or even 500% gain. Nor did you run during production hell and COVID lock-down. That means you've been lucky 250 days a year for 7 years straight; the decision you've made everyday has led you to this point. Luck is a one time thing. What you have is conviction. If your friends don't understand that, you need smarter friends. Not necessarily nicer, just smarter. Like me. Real friends don't take your hard work away from you.Sounds like you have good friends. My friends just think I’m lucky. That’s how they rationalize it to themselves. I always tell them back that maybe I’m just good at seeing market trends and I saw Tesla’s future product roadmap and assigned a PE ratio to that.
Indeed, you need to NOT have a margin account. If you're on margin, you already gave them the right to lend your shares without paying you.At E*TRADE you don't need a margin account to participate in their FPL, Fully Paid Lending, program. But in the last three months I think I made all of about 10 cents from a few TSLA shares being lent for a couple days.

I'll take the opposing view if your anxiety level is at 10 and you are only a few months away from retiring by all means lock in some profit and your retirement date.If anything...i wouldn't touch any shares until after battery day...heck...i would even wait for Q3 numbers, (however, we all know what happened after Q2). Hard to say with the election coming up and still uncertainty in the world. Does is have to be 1/3? why not do 1/5?

Why do you need to sell 1/3 of it in the first place? Making some huge purchase?I need some hand holding. After Q2 earnings I said I wouldn't sell anything until after S&P500 inclusion. Now we also have the split at the end of the month. I need to retire at the end of the year. I am willing to sell 1/3 of my shares to do it.

There will come a time when it makes sense to sell the shares of TSLA we now own

(and personally, I am thinking not in my lifetime. It is the best of both worlds, investing in good and getting a nice return)
