Missed Tesla’s 12,551% Rise? Don’t Feel So Bad
- maxharris 6y agoI didn't miss it. I bought in way back in March and April, and I documented it here. The guy I was arguing with was trying to tell me that what I was doing was just a matter of luck: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22964850 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22964850 After I wrote that (in May 2020), I raised my position even further to 85% of my holdings. All in all, I took $100k and turned it into $550k (and rising). Opportunities come and go, and you often have to see several of them before you're in the right position to take a swing. When Apple was a huge opportunity, I didn't have any money! My dad didn't have much either, and I leaned on him to buy an iMac way back in 2001. That $1299 would have been worth $698,467.54 in Apple stock today. http://stockchoker.com/?s=AAPL&d=20010101&a=1299 http://stockchoker.com/?s=AAPL&d=20010101&a=1299
