You are one lucky duck.

Big question I have is how is it going to change your life?

**CordMcNally** · 01-07-2021, 11:15 AM

What's your plan? Keeping riding the euphoria, take some profits, or completely cash out?

**childay** · 01-07-2021, 11:18 AM

Huh

**billy** · 01-07-2021, 11:24 AM

**burritos** · 01-07-2021, 11:43 AM

**twodocs** · 01-07-2021, 11:45 AM

500k in TSLA?

I once read a great tongue in cheek quote that might apply here if the investment was a concentrated bet contra the basic WCI message. It went like this: If you are so smart, why am I rich? Congratulations! Trouble for me is that I am smart enough I suppose, but not that clever about investments. Having proven to myself that I cannot catch a ten bagger, I need to stick to the slow and steady route. I suspect that is the best route for the vast majority.

I'm a slow and steady person. I'm envious of the those who get the 10 baggers on margin or with options. I'm not that smart.

What are you updating? Some context would be nice. I don’t see any historical dating.

Tesla, the investment - The White Coat Investor Forum - Investing & Personal Finance for Doctors

So for everyone that is interested in discussing the company as a going concern, finances, possibilities, their future, etc...here is your thread. I've made lots of my opinions known already, as have a few others. So please do chime in! Its fun, and no hard feelings, we're talking about the stock only, not each other. Fine, I'll start. Today Teslas Vice President of World Finance announced he's leaving the company. I'll leave that there with a question I saw someone post on TWTR, "if TSLA is such a great company and everything is great then why are all of the finance and accounting teams leaving?" another funny one: "BREAKING: TSLA causing worldwide shortage of red flags." Seriously though, what about the situation isnt at least a tiny bit concerning? Of note they are not profitable, cant make profit even in volume (no operating leverage), and given they have slashed capex the last couple years have no real likelihood of being able to service an amazing increase in volume even if its what the market dema

Well, strangely, when I click on BCBiker's profile link, they show no other prior posts. So that is why 7.5 by itself provides no context. Or anything, for that matter.

The mix of the positions, the volatility, the expirations, the potential change in tax policy with the political winds leaves managing and unwinding short term/long term choices.
Good luck.

He bought lots of Tesla options. He argued it was a rational play rather than speculation. I infer from this post he did very well, but not clear he sold out yet.
