If you a retail investor looking for high risk/high reward stocks, Tesla today is not what Tesla was during IPO. The need for more money and future stock dilution means that risk is significantly higher but reward is going to be lower.
- erikpukinskis 7y ago> risk is significantly higher but reward is going to be lower. Is that not true for all companies as they grow?
- freeone3000 7y agoNo; Microsoft (for instance) today is much less riskier than Microsoft in 1988. It likely won't experience meteoric growth, but neither is it likely to crash tomorrow. Ideally, risk/reward are inversely correlated.
- martythemaniak 7y agoWell, you claimed he has not delivered for investors because he has not executed well on his plans. Tesla's plans have been on their website since 2006: https://www.tesla.com/en_CA/blog/secret-tesla-motors-master-plan-just-between-you-and-me https://www.tesla.com/en_CA/blog/secret-tesla-motors-master-... Tesla has executed very well on those plans and delivered very handsomely for investors. Now you're saying, today they are different. Are they? Or is it just simple 20/20 hindsight? Did you happen to invest at $17 and sell at $350? There was even more skepticism of them before their IPO (ie, the famous "Tesla Death Watch" series from 2008) and I think they were in a far, far more precarious position back then.
