Buy TSLA, Sell NKLA, NIO, XPEV and LI

We do have a TSLA thread... Starting a new one only invites the same back and forth.

Tsla has demonstrated over and over that it's not a good idea to short its stock. But hey, some can't help it.

I began as a Tesla doubter and became a Tesla believer in March this year, day trading it for months. I now sold all I owned because I think inclusion will tame the stock, but thank you Tesla for making me nearly a million dollars this year.

right.

Newbie and professional traders think and trade very differently.
One will north and the other will go south.
One will not trade and the other will trade.
One will cut loss and the other will hold on.
One will hold on and the other will take profit.

I believe after TSLA is added to S&P, it will start to be tamed and not as volatile as it is now. I say this based on my previous experiences. After it is added to S&P, it will be like Hotel California. You can check in but you cannot check out!! I mean, you might hate TSLA and just prefer buying S&P index and you wont even know that you are putting a part of your money into TSLA.

TSLA is just 2% of S&P 500,

yes, S&P very likely will lose 2% of its market capacity because of TSLA in the next few years

Some sort crackdown on facebook or google will cost the same in a day

but anyway buying puts on TSLA might be some sort of good insurance

Dividend on S&P is around 1.5%

I probably would invest it into TSLA puts, just need to choose strike and date

maybe some like DEC 21 500

Can anyone say why TSLA is held 50% by institutions only ?
It seems market market are pushing up the price along retail buyers and they say companies who shorted it , still keep shorting it.

Buy TSLA?

When a stock was added to the Index, I'd buy that stock
despite the fact that the stock has already gone up massively.
Of course, I had to top up my trading account after that.




Sell NIO, XPEV, LI ?
When I was a newbie trader, I missed the opportunity to long such stocks.
So I did counter-trend trading
and hope and hope for the stocks to collapse.

I thought: " What goes up massively will surely crash massively.".
Again, of course, I had to top up my trading account after that.

I think I can write a book
on thousands of silly trading mistakes I have made.

Newbie traders and Professional traders trade & think very differently.
one loses money, & the other earn money.

I remember hearing that about AMZN analysis that “AMZN

I have lost several trading friends who love to short the trend or buy massive gap downs. In early 00s a biotech opened from $80 to $40, my two friends bought while I shorted because you could feel them the MMs trying to hold back a flood gate of shares. Kept scaling by selling more down to $19 covered at $10.00. I begged them to “go light, stock is dangerous”! Every few minutes they asked “When you going to cover”? I asked “Did you sell”? No, they spent all their money quintupling or 6x averaging down. This was the last time we ever traded together because they both blew up. This gap buying was only part of their demise. They shorted strong stocks like AMZN, AAPL, Google ect. What’s so attractive shorting strong stocks and buying 52 week lows? I thought we were supposed to do the opposite?

I guess the morale of this story is not the wrong choosing of the stock or whatever but the wrong position sizing model. Adding to looser can have some merit in some circumstances providing that there is a stop loss in place. (which unfortunately is big when we add to looser)
