Depends on if you believe a war is coming soon. Or if you believe the American economy is booming as they say.
You could have done worse, but those are two good hodl options that you selected. Good job 👍 |

TSLA <$150 is probably a good deal.
I have a core position around which I trade a few to several hundred shares…I’d rather be buying around $105 like the last time i I added to my position, but I’ll take $150. AAPL: I bought it so long ago that I will probably never sell it…but I’m not happy with it…right now. AAPL was and TSLA still is a millionaire maker…10 shares won’t do it, but a couple thou might. |

Good start!
I've held AAPL since 2002 or so and it's done pretty good for me. Bought TSLA on a dip for $189 a few years back and it did OK too. Recently picked up some LAC and LAAC, we'll see how those do. |

AAPL is okay, I would have waited till it's lower. I bought AAPL in 2012 and am still sitting on it, an almost 800% gain. I've taking some gains here and there, but I don't think AAPL is going to increase or decrease any drastic amount.
I wouldn't have bought Tesla. But, you shouldn't listen to me because in 2018/19 where everyone was talking about it, I told everyone they were stupid for buying it or considering buying it. It was $15.68 in 2019 (accounting for splits.) I also said Putin wouldn't invade UKR. I know his reasons, but Musk would become the richest MF'er ever and probably stay in that position if he took Space-X public.

I do enjoy how the markets didn't seem to give a shit when the dime store terrorists were shooting missiles at boats and not connecting for the most part. But somehow, the Iranians shoot and can't connect at all....basically a 0% rate and somehow the markets are freaked out...lol.
Turd world games... lol. I was in a storefront yesterday. Owner was freaking out about Iran. Saddam got steamrolled in a couple of days. The Iranian conflict would last about 87 minutes. Shit would spend more time getting getting taxied around than actually fighting. I like the down days. There are always great up days shortly after the down days. |

 Oh, well................."We will not have any more crashes in our time." John Maynard Keynes in 1927, two years before the stock market crash which lead to the Great Depression. "Stock prices have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau. I do not feel there will be soon if ever a 50- or 60-point break from present levels, such as they have predicted. I expect to see the stock market a good deal higher within a few months." This was said on October 17, 1929, a few weeks before the Great Crash, by Dr. Irving Fisher, Professor of Economics at Yale University. Dr. Fisher was one of the leading US economists of his time. "I cannot help but raise a dissenting voice to statements that we are living in a fool's paradise, and that prosperity in this country must necessarily diminish and recede in the near future." This was said on January 12, 1928 (a little more than a year and a half before the 1929 stock market crash) by E. H. H. Simmons, the President of the New York Stock Exchange. "There will be no interruption of our permanent prosperity." This was also said a little over a year and a half before the 1929 stock market crash by Myron E. Forbes, the President of the Pierce Arrow Motor Car Co. By the way, have you ever heard of the Pierce Arrow Motor Car Company? You have not? Well, that is because they went bankrupt during the Great Depression. But, I digress. |

Maybe you haven't been paying attention...? It was well known that when he passed he left them with many years of future project plans in place, so much of their continued success could be at least partially credited to him. Samsung now has a bigger share of the smartphone market then Apple, they are down to 17%: https://qz.com/apple-iphone-smartphone-sales-slump-covid-samsung-1851410066 It's just the normal cycle of these things. It seems obvious that Apple is not innovating like they used to. Same thing with Tesla, they had a phase where they were new and special, but now they are just one of many companies working on full autonomous driving and EVs. We could see self-driving tractor trailer trucks on the roads in Texas very soon, it's just not that unique and special anymore. If they were both priced properly according to traditional measurements then it might make more sense to buy, but companies like these have always been priced based on future hopes. Compare it to something like Amazon--for a long time the stock price was not priced properly according to earnings and profit, but that's because everybody could see they were building out the infrastructure to become dominant going forward in many areas. What have Tesla and Apple been doing to become dominant over the next couple decades? |

What's your stop on TSLA?
Seems to me the question with TSLA and the entire EV sector, is this just a normal sector rotation style pullback? Or, are people finally wising up to the scam of 'climate change' and thus all the 'green' industries are falling out of favor? With the Biden election, I was expecting the entire 'green' sector to really take off. Didn't happen. |
