    $Tesla (TSLA.US)$
    Over the weekend, I was considering taking profits on tranches I entered at $130 & $150.

    I am selling partial shares to simply reduce my overall allocation down to 50%.
    Tesla is still by far my biggest holdings 💪💪
    Also, tesla is very overbought right now. anticipating at least a slight pullback soon.
