How would you exclude Tesla?
- jcranmer 2y agoThere are probably ETFs that are something like "all of S&P except for Tesla".
- ryandrake 2y agoBuy a broad-market ETF, and then short the exact amount of TSLA in that ETF's holdings?
- janalsncm 2y agoI looked into it, you need to do something called “direct indexing” if you want to specifically exclude a stock. Here is one example, Wealthfront can also do it. https://www.schwab.com/direct-indexing https://www.schwab.com/direct-indexing
- arrosenberg 2y agoCalls on SPY, puts on Tesla.
- JumpCrisscross 2y agoYou're exposing yourself to tracking error every time the index rebalances. If you want to show it to the man, just go to a protest while buying a cheap index fund.
- arrosenberg 2y agoI don't personally care enough, I made my point years ago when I bought my EV from a different manufacturer.
- JumpCrisscross 2y agoNot super relevant. The point is using puts to hedge out Tesla is a bad way to buy the market ex Tesla.
- arrosenberg 2y agoIf you want to buy the market and bet against Tesla, it's actually a great way. It may not be the most profitable, but that's never been the point doing something out of protest or spite.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> If you want to buy the market and bet against Tesla, it's actually a great way Nope. Certainly not in the long term. You’re better off direct indexing. If you don’t have enough money to direct index, you’re wasting money.

- arrosenberg 2y agoI'm not wasting any money, because I don't personally care enough to follow this strategy. Thanks for the info though.
