I wish I picked up more shares after Tesla's IPO. I've been an investor since day 1 but never had enough. Now that you could've retired from.

Morons falling over themselves shorting a low float stock naked is why it hit 30. It's not a good stock by any means--doesn't even have options. Just been float rotation and folks getting squeezed. Same thing that happened with PLUG on its way to 12 basically.

Hindsight is 20/20. I'm sure you're sitting pretty regardless if you're still holding shares from IPO.
Wanted to get in this too when it dropped to 10.30'ish not too long ago [emoji]128557[/emoji]

Sorry if this was asked before, but any recommended must read books. I am new and want to learn how to trade stocks on my spare time.
Would like to get as knowledgeable as possible before investing a penny. Any tips, pointers, books/ anything to read is greatly appreciated.

GILD down on talks about a generic Sovaldi.
That Brian Shannon book is worth it.
If you're looking to be a serious day trader, InvestorsLive's Textbook Trading DVD is well worth it. Expensive, but worth it.

y u do dis Musk?
Seriously though, why do CEOs publicly state that their stock price is too high? Shake out the scared hands and prevent an implosion down the road?

Maybe warning investors that the stock is going too high too fast for short term-mid term traders. otherwise if you're holding long term, you don't have too much to worry about

GIS bought BNNY for $46 a share after hours.
Stock never broke 29 and grinded well over 30 before today. Never took a position here because there was barely any volume or open interest options wise and I didn't have the funds for common, but my idea was spot on. Need more conviction next time to at least nibble on the options market. This and TKMR are two should haves that would've reversed my failures from the first half of the year. Oh well. Always another trade. I'll be ready for it.

SPY has been looking weak lately. I feel we are near the top if it hasn't been already put in. Still holding partial TVIX swing. Caught a late day flyer in CMGE on the abcd breakout today. Made up for my messy morning smh

Trying to get into the stock market as well with some long term investments and building my portfolio with some extra money I have (still owe about 200K in loans), but some safe options long term will be better then anything a savings account can offer me.
Gonna have to read up.

^ I'm not the best person to give advice, but one thing's for sure: max out your Roth for the year.
Wonder if the spike up today for AAPL will tank after the announcement like it usually seems to do.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Nasdaq touches 4400 this week before it starts to head up towards a new high.

I feel like he's giving forewarning that he's about to manipulate the stock price, but thats how I think. If they're opening new electric stations around the US you would expect the price to go up in the future, unless of course you get your usual insider trading.....
