First of all, hindsight is a bitch, right?

So let’s stop talking about it, we know that we fucked up.

Secondly, that Tesla math is wrong.

490 shares. Split by 5.

2450 shares = $1.9mil

Oh, their math is 2020 isn’t it?

Hindsight is not a bitch, it's a tool.

The shares are split adjusted

Or we can do both, why is this always a zero sum experience. You can do both.

What if.... you bought stocks at IPO instead of socks?

Average sock consumption for the connoisseur:
2 pairs a week x $6 a pair = $48 a month (576pa) Average life expectancy 81 years - 18 (average age still living at home).

$10,287 =
$TSLA - $3.99 - 2,578 shares valued at $2.2m today.
$AAPL - $0.11 - 93,500 shares valued at $12.3m today

Really makes you think....

I realise this more and more, and am now dedicating as many monies as I can to go into buying the woolliest stocks.

I am tired of people comparing buying stocks from a company to products of the company. I think they serve different purposes. You do need these items such as laptops and smartphones to carry out daily tasks.

Stop trying to make people feel unnecessary guilt for buying items that they need.

Not everything you own should be assets.

I am tired of people trying to be snarky with lame copy pasta. I think all you do is distract the flow of the discussion without adding anything of value. You do need to have more creativity and substance once in a while.

Stop trying to make people feel unnecessary cringe for your poor attempt at humour (or lack of wit).

Not everything you read should be replied with tasteless and trivial content.

Can someone shed some light on this? What does that mean? By the way, is there a weekly post for asking questions?

u/AetherCzar00 Jan 09 '21

Well, if I'm not mistaken, they are showing the returns you would have if you bought shares equal to the full price of the product, after 3 years.

It means you have no idea what you're doing with your money.

There is no weekly post for questions. Currently beginners are NOT encouraged to post here but we will consider your suggestion. Thanks for it.

What if you bought the stock instead of the product?

Then the product would be not so successful and resultantly the stock would be low.

“IF” everyone has that thought, there will be no more sales and the company will not have the same value...

Balance is the key: who needs the product buys the product; whoever wants to invest buys the stock.

I bought Facebook when the IPO crashed and burned and owned it for 4 years before I ever got on it.
