I bought a few shares of Tesla, not really to make money, more so to support the company and get in on the first U.S. car maker IPO since Ford in 1956. I've never traded before, and really had no urge to, but this was interesting and I had $100 to burn on a gamble. I bought at $18.50ish. The following day there was a high of $30. Of course, today, it's back down to about $21, but for that brief moment you could have made a bunch of money. Which explains the dip today. Personally, I like Tesla as a company and I think any investment in their company should be seen as a gamble, but a long one. This is a car company, something that has to be built and proven, not a stock that will spike due to new iPhones or what not. If you're going to buy Apple, wait for the lull. We're still on iPhone 4 volatility at the moment.
