Don't fight the trend 

Tesla, Inc.NASDAQ

Description

This is not trading advice, nor is it educational. Therefore don't read it and just go do something else.

This is a chart of TSLA and I'm using it to make a point. Do not fight the trend. This may sound like the most obvious thing and yet the majority of failed predictions from "analysts" on this site are ones against the current trend. Anyone who has shorted Tesla knows this all too well. The most shorted company in the world, the biggest unicorn company in the world (in my own personal view) and all the shorts get their asses handed to them time and time again. The fundamentals may be crap, the technicals may look bad and yet if it's going up either go with it or stay away. Trading is a probabilities game and the probability that a trend will continue is generally a lot higher than crashing down in flames due to some resistance level or whatnot.

I hope that some people learn from this and save themselves much unnecessary pain.

Very accurate statement tesla could be the end of a lot of shorters most would have made a lot of money going long just buying the stock instead of fighting change. Change is what makes the world a better place everyone is doomed if we only think that the old ways are the only ways.

Agree with stay long or stay away. Submit the following as counter evidence of perhaps max mania-7/17 2k call strike is $12.00 while the 1K strike is $1.69. Both $500 points out of the money.

I actually love this for being told not to read it. Give yourself some credit :)
