Note: I would never under any circumstance buy an individual stock - you are competing against individuals, groups and systems that have enormous resources to predict markets and immediately execute trades in milliseconds - it is a fool's folly. i do buy etf's and funds that would hold hundreds of automotive groups and sectors to diversify any risk associated with just one company and hedge a portion of our resources in cd's, fixed income tools etc. prefer to get advice from know reliable, proven entities with enormous research resources at their disposal .. not individual random internet posters. the people i trust manage Yale University trust funds, started Vanguard investments they generally have backgrounds like this "Charles “Charley” D. Ellis (born October 22, 1937) is an American investment consultant. In 1972, Ellis founded Greenwich Associates, an international strategy consulting firm focused on financial institutions.

I missed the last doubling but there was a time limit. Regardless, the solar roof saves a little over $1,000 per year. Bob Wilson
What a crock. Over past 10yrs or so? roughly 2000% increase for Tesla. Thus, why we sold. No company can outperform the market for ever. . Totally slaughtering Toyota stock over 10yrs. Still, don't let that stop anyone from looking at the short-term stuff. .
I lost nothing in the 2008 financial crash, actually made money, saw it coming and moved what money I had then directly onto the home loan and made a 400% profit when we sold, while having a roof over our heads and used what would have been bank house loan payments to buy lithium batteries for hands on research and a house battery, solar, inverters and solar controllers, till I knew enough to open our own Offgrid design and installation business, a 2,000sq mtr workshop with an overhead crane, mezzanine and fully set up as a working enterprise, for cash and added it to our self managed superfund, bought a house overlooking the Murray River, for cash, and still had enough on hand to establish a business from scratch doing something that had no other competition resulting in customers booking 6 mths in advance and travelling up to 3,000kms to get a system installed. We made good money during the Covid pandemic because we saw what was coming, stocked up on everything we needed and were still dealing with 3 jobs at a time through the whole period, because people wanted to escape the lockdowns and go bush, fully self contained in their RV ....... So, how did your finances go when listening the the professors and financial advises, that still get paid even if they lose you money? I'm guessing you won't be sprouting how clever you are on a Prius forum if you actually did make good financial investments, you'd be too busy living it up ...... T1 Terry
...right... I worked with more than a couple of individuals like yourself over my lifetime... always beat the market and professionals...always knew what to do whether it was gold, money, stocks or any financial instruments-always made money hand over foot - never lost a dime, interestingly enough these financial savants had to continue to work unable to retire or took supplementary secondary jobs while the rest of us were able to retire worry free.... ..there was a fellow in America by the name of Bernie Madoff who had very similar financial experiences as yourself, or so he conveyed to his clients/victims. Bernie Madoff Case — FBI ...and I am doing just fine, a simple individual who makes long term well thought out investments vetted by myself and checked by professionals, well diversified across the whole financial spectrum... i neither make large amounts of money nor lose large amounts of money, my financial situation is much like a garden, slow growing and yielding fruit as needed with investments suited to nourish a family over generations...
