Feeling major envy and regret over Tesla. Why didn't I invest?
People making so much money with Tesla options. Why didn't I put $5k into this? Would have made so much. Another opportunity passed me by.
- conanbatt 7y agoIf it were known that Tesla would jump this much it would have cost what it costs now at that point. The fin market is great at exposing human biases about decision making. There are now still hundreds of stocks that will jump 100% in the next 6 months ready for the taking: why aren't you buying those? Because you don't know which ones will!
- andymoe 7y agoDon’t feel too bad. I bought Tesla at 17, Facebook at 35 and Microsoft as Satya Nadella was taking over and then sold them all early and burned that cash on an ill advised hardware startup. Oh yeah, and I told everyone I could to buy the google ipo but had no money to do it myself at the time. It all seemed reasonable at the time. Maybe we’ll be patient and do better this decade.

- icedchai 7y agoSame. I invested in FB, MSFT, AMD and several other high fliers. I didn’t believe in TSLA so I didn’t invest.
