Scary thing about these stocks that do the 3 standard deviation moves, just a simple mean reversion to a channel center, moving average or trendline can be a 30-50% move.

Today had to sting a bit. TSLA down 21%. For me, I tried fishing for some QQQ call options 3 times and got stop out all three times as the damn market couldn't hold a gain. Luckily, net zero loss for me since one of my stops trailed up slightly. Very frustrating day though if looking for a bottom.

I told my Buddy to cash out on tech and Tesla beginning of last week, but he got greedy. We all make mistakes and the market is a bitch to predict. Been there before A bit of a claw back in after hours trading. I did a little bargain hunting. I bought some more PayPal, FTSI, ESTE on lows today.

I‘m still being a pansy, mid oct might be a better entry point. I bid on the only bank owned fixer in town along with 25 of my closest friends. Lots of spec homes popping up by unknown builders, that’s never a good sign. Something feels like it’s going to pop biggley soon. Maybe I should sell and move to Dillon MT and raise sheep, getting crowded here all of a sudden.

Tesla competitor did ok today. I wish I bought last week. d'ohhh I slept in this morning and wondered what happened to push GM. If people think this is going to put them into position to compete with Tesla, I think they'll be disappointed. In any case lots EV did well today. Buying daily dips of WKHS for the last 2 months offset my TSLA losses.

Tue, Jun 18, 2013, 12:14 PM I got 100 shares of TSLA at $103.25 You made a fortune if you're still holding it. I sold 10 shares recently and bought some NIO. NIO hasn't made me quite as much, but I feel it will go over $100 early next year. I made 125% on my Tesla since I jumped in this summer.

Stocks are a lot like slot machines.
Everybody wants to tell you how much they made/won.
Nobody ever tells you how much they lost.

Bought TSLA just before they split along with some AAPL. Sold NIO for a tidy profit because of its chart. Also sold ATVI and MSFT because of flat performance and bought XOM, CVX and BP because oil looked like it had a double bottom.

I bought in back when I was making posts about electric cars here on the fire, it was 235 or 245 at the time.
I think I was trying to convince myself to buy in by posting my Tesla Tesla research here in the forums.
Almost sold when it hit 1K just because the novilty of my profits puting me in a new Tesla for free the way it penciled out at the time.
I just decided I really didn't need the car so I kept the stock.

I never understood you yanks falling in love with Musk. He sells himself as the great scientist whilst actually just being a corporatist, major achievement was the invention of paypal. Most of the rest has been running smoke and mirrors to attract venture capital in future tech that doesnt have to make a profit now( because it only works in the future lol) . He has the whole millenial population hailing him as the planteray saviour of their generation( when the guy is almost 50 lol) while his main target is the real money of DOD, airforce and missile contracts.
The government loves him too, as instead of paying actual trillions for space programs anymore they can give this clown a few billion to run his smoke and mirrors for the population and call it a day.
The funniest thing is the US a country who once produced actual geniuses like Thomas Edison, Morse, Wright brothers, Henry Ford, now pins its hopes on this South African tech-playboy who is still cant duplicate the systems that got you to the moon 50 years ago. Good heavens, its yet another example of the craziness of today. You guys really fell from the perch and settled for 10th best.
