105402501 : the only logical comment lol

SKYWalkers : you sound logical with clarity.
I have basically what you have other than Apple, don't like Apple, it's an emotional call, not based on financials
what do you think of the recent run up of China stocks?

Riddick705 OP SKYWalkers : I like $Alibaba (BABA.US)$  this is undervalued, I might start loading this but lets see..how it goes, the PE is 18

72128816 : Best comment I have seen in awhile!

ptpixelx x : if down to @ 290-300 I probably put more money to invest starting from the bottom price since I'm already stuck @ 411. what do you think guys?

Riddick705 OP ptpixelx x : Wait for a pull back or retracement before DCA

SKYWalkers : so you have to ask yourself, what is good about Tesla that you think the stock will go up?
What's your answer(s)?

SKYWalkers ptpixelx x : if u r in at 411, buy double at 50% down, ie, 205, or if u want, any price 200 to 250.
if it goes according to what I think, 2025 to 2027 is down year, you have a chance to see back 400s from 2007 to 2009

fancy_monkey : I’d pay close attention to all the negative press and boycotts of Tesla happening in Europe, Canada and others.

Deals Gap 129 : Nice ad but the spreads are the key for traders.

Newbie Wang Wang : that's crazy

s0ar : best time to invest was yesterday

Lamagieserealise OP :

s0ar : haha i mean the sooner you invest the better. if youre here for the long term that is

Lamagieserealise OP s0ar : thats true! thanks

Ultratech : its always a good time to buy vti but if market is high which it frequently is the best thing to do is reoccurring contributions especially on red days

Boone Wong : Fantastic! Yes long term!  Can relax now ! No panick !

SPACELIGHT : How do you measure and define "long term?"

Riddick705 OP SPACELIGHT : For me, a "long hold" strategy means investing in securities like $Tesla (TSLA.US)$  stock with the intention of keeping them until I feel I've achieved my desired returns. The timeline for this depends entirely on my financial goals and circumstances.
I recognize that holding a single stock is inherently risky, so I ensure that no individual stock exceeds 10-15% of my portfolio. That said, I do maintain a significant allocation to the Magnificent Seven, including:
$NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$  
$Apple (AAPL.US)$   AAPL
$Microsoft (MSFT.US)$   MSFT
$Alphabet-A (GOOGL.US)$  
$Amazon (AMZN.US)$  
$Meta Platforms (META.US)$  
These are remarkable stocks to own and are solid additions to any portfolio.
However, there are some investments I consider untouchable, such as:
$Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO.US)$  
$Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI.US)$   Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF)
$Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD.US)$   SCHD (Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF)
$Vanguard Total International Stock ETF (VXUS.US)$   VXUS (Vanguard Total International Stock ETF)
I view these as the foundation of my retirement plan. To diversify further, I have multiple portfolios across different brokerage accounts, and I also keep $Tesla (TSLA.US)$    in my “never-to-be-disturbed” holdings—reserved for the long haul and untouched by short-term market movements.
This strategy reflects my belief in balancing growth, stability, and a vision for the future.
Note: I avoid hype stocks to prevent FOMO and meme ones
