Tesla Talk

Funds are limited. Not going to add funds to my portfolio and was sick of looking at losses that are unlikely to suddenly turn into profits in the next year or two. Owning TSLA is at least a bit more exciting than owning the ones that I sold. I have made large quick profits in the past with TSLA, bigger and quicker than I've had with any other shares. Of course I should have just held onto my first bag, I would have been much better off now, but that's with glorious hindsight.

My portfolio is not an awful lot more than play money. If I lost it all, my life wouldn't be hugely different. In contrast, my pension fund is many times bigger, it is a managed fund, it is diversified and I can't touch it until retirement age.

Indeed, the realised losses can be offset against future gains, so this has created a buffer that will give me several years of not having to pay CGT even if I make decent returns as I will partially release them into these losses.

This thread is mental - moderators jumping up and down on the heads of anyone who dares share a Tesla opinion (it’s a message board lads), which is obviously discouraging any further posts - as evidenced across Boards traffic these days really.

I’ve been here since 2005 and don’t really post any more.

I make my living in stocks lads, have done so since 2007, managing my own portfolio after a career in the Tech industry, but some Muskateer moderators on an old message forum (using play money!) are gonna make me see the error of my ways apparently.

my risk profile and investment thesis means I don’t touch Tesla, but the method to valuing it isn’t any different.

It’s mildly interesting, at best, to watch the movement in the TSLA price and what causes it, that’s the only point I was trying to make.

I’ll check back in a few months when I’ve little to be doing. Wasn’t expecting a George Soros reference this early in the morning either, Jesus wept.

do everyone a favour and quit being moderators, because you’re not moderating if you’re the ones attacking.

bye

Gees unkel, you & Georgey are taking some hammering. What are you down already? 15%......more? 20%?

No signs of this bearish trend ending either........Elon is making some powerful people unhappy & they are out to destroy him.

I doubt even his famed FSD & robotaxi (any day now............the quarter after next........just around the corner.......etc.) will stop the rot. Hate seeing anyone lose out & I'm well under water too but we could well see TSLA tumble further.

Twitter.....that's where the smart money is at........can't wait for IPO day........😃.

Maybe we look forward to better times

I don't know. I saw it on twitter this morning. No sign of it in the car or on the app.

I think you have to look at the Tesla shares, like any other shares, as longer term items unless you were short selling.

They will go back up, likely not to the heady 400 USD per share but probably to 200 plus as the underlying company is strong.

Again, dont play with money you cant afford to loose.
