bought 3 shares at $1460.

Its up to $1600+ today. But not because of underlying fundamentals. More like alot of retail piling in thinking the stock split can drive up price like what happend with Apple shares which surge up.

yeah man, after the split, will get burnt

in the mean time, just ride it up

After stock split got battery day. Then stock price come crashing down

There's nothing about battery day that isn't known

Million mile battery

I think it's been factored. One more rabbit is the actual announcement of SNP inclusion. After that, Mr Elon Musk has no more rabbits to pull out of his hat. That's when it will crash and burn

On the contrary I think is the other way round. Retail investors may not know what’s a stock split. They see Tesla now do expensive don’t want to buy, then suddenly they see price drop by 80% they think so cheap all chiong in.

Is like sia right issue, price drop, then all chiong in cause all thought what big discount

go look at intel or yahoo stock, especially after their stock split in 1999-2000

what TSLA is doing is like those dotcom tech bubble stock

After the split, intel stock has been hovering around same price level for over 20 years

thats what u call crash and burn

in the meantime, u can ride it up also. I even believe it can reach 2k USD soon pre or post split. But when it burns, alot of retail will be in pain.

All those ppl who bought, kindly put a hard stop to your breakeven price. You will thank me later

Past performance is not an indication of future outcome.

Poor advice. For a high volume, highly volatile and speculative stock like TSLA, putting in a stop loss is a big mistake, especially at these prices.

It can bounce up and down 10% in a day. Doing so will just trigger your stop loss prematurely and a sure-fire way to realize your losses.

If put at breakeven price, then might as well not enter a ticker like TSLA. In the current volatile market, stagnant money is losing money. There are opportunities in every other ticker.

If you want to get in, make sure you can stomach the swings in the first place. If not it's far better to just stay away completely.

dont be silly. Getting out at breakeven is better than stomaching a loss and being a bagholder for years. With money, you can buy other stock or wait for better price. If you have no money, its basically game over

If your stop gets triggered, it means that you could have gotten that stock for a lower price and that your prediction is already wrong. There will be one day where the stock only go down and not up as you suggest and that's where retail get burnt. Kindly don't fan the FOMO factor. It's dangerous advice

TSLA was hovering around 1400s the other day, if the stock split was not announced, it was a bearish trend and could down even further.

Please don't mislead people on risk management. There's a reason why there's support and resistance in TA

How am i misleading risk management? My point was it's counter-intuitive to put a stop loss on a highly traded and volatile stock that swings up to 10% a day, ESPECIALLY at breakeven price. It may lead to triggering it prematurely so it's just better to look elsewhere.

I'm saying it's better to NOT get into TSLA at these prices. Downside is huge and imo whatever upside for the near future has already been priced in. What FOMO are you ranting about?

And what do you mean by "there will be one day where stock only goes down?".

Anyone can cherry pick a lacklusture company like intel and yahoo on hindsight, 20 years after. Now try applying your sentence to FAANGM, or even smaller ones like ADBE or CRM. Doesn't make much sense in this case does it?

When ur stop is triggered at breakeven, ur not making any losses.
Hope is not a good strategy to invest. Having a stop loss at breakeven protects u from the downside.

And yes, history will repeat itself again. Dotcom companies like intel/yahoo are just examples for u to study, not cherry pick. Even apple didn't get out unscathed from dotcom burst.

The point is not managing ur risk by having stop loss and just hoping for the price to swing up or down.

If you got in at 1400 for TSLA and its now 1600, its wise to put in the stop at breakeven. Its just basic risk management.
