Hey,
Yeah got in 37 in the end but have been in and out, got some great gains but also missed some. It's a tough stock to play with. I probably should of shown more confidence in it but will happily take what I got.
It was a pity more people weren't interested at the time but unless its a play on some exploration stock in Mongolia that everyone knows everything about it's hard to get a reply on here

Couldn't agree more, unless you are interested in bank of Ireland shares or some high risk oil explorer that hasn't found a single barrel of oil to date, then people on here don't want to know.0 -

Really feeling like I missed the boat on this one as was looking at it for a while last year when it was around the $27 mark and it closed yesterday around $35. While I am still a big fan of the company, I feel a good bit of the value has been missed in the investment and am not sure if the risk reward payoff of the company is where I would like to get into now. The things that impressed me about the company are as follows:
- Strong management team - big fan of Elon Musk and his work at Zip2, X.com and now space X. This guy seems to know what he is doing, very innovative and seems repected in the industry. He has put his money where his mouth is and got key guys in from Ford and Apple to assist him.
- Superior performance EV and strong demand pre-production - the company has in excess of 35,000 orders for their cars so far having only produced about 3500 to date
- Supplier of parts to a number of big motor companies who have also invested ( Daimler, etc)
- Finally seeing some positive cashflow now
My concerns
- Tesla is already behind on production and has had to announce price increases, the majority of pre orders can be assumed to be from wealthy individuals given the price range the car currently sits in and whilst the increases are unlikely to deter, is it a bad sign for the company and will they be able to meet demand expectations
- I would imagine that market is fairly exhaustive and there move to a cheaper model could prove trickiest where cost becomes far more important and consumers become more price elastic. Some brands although not the same are fairly well developed in Europe - Smart car, Prius and leaf etc.
Sometimes I like to torture myself and pop back in to look at this
