it keeps going up... I am really hesitant but I want to get some absurd options that expire maybe in a year... get some like 300-350 strike price calls... still though considering the stock went up over 350% in the period of like 6 months i cant be confident enough to invest

this is the exact reason im not.

when you get people on an internet forum board telling you to buy a stock, the money has been made. not saying it wont continue to go up, but at this point i can only see it as speculation. while the company has certainly proved its worth, i dont know if its proved its worth to be valued at 160 dollars a share when they are not producing cars cheap enough for the average american. look at any other car manufactures stock. they arnt even half of what tesla is, with ford at 16, gm at 35, and harley davidson at 59. not saying that tesla is a poor company, because from what ive read its steller, but considering they dont have a large market cap, are expanding to currently untested markets (china), and really not many cars on the road, i cannot see it going over 200-250. but then again, the market is crazy and ive been wrong before. but usually when the small money starts going into the stock, the big money is just getting out, and at most you have 20-30% gain possibility but certainly a 50% loss possibility. and if tesla loses 50% of the value, they would still be the most expensive automotive stock on the market!

I expect they will bounce around 190 to 200 until mid next year. But this stock has risen much faster than I expected so who knows. I invested bc I love their product and potential. It is def a life changer. For a quick trade it may be to late for that. But a 5 year investment.... no better stock on the market that I know of.

I finally convinced my in-laws to buy in at 103. Told them to double it during the drop to 105, they didn't, now they want to invest at 161. I told them they missed the easy money (50) lol but it's still a long term hold imo 5 years until we see how their 30k ish car goes.

Bad news? Nope. Only bad news will be put out by goldman sachs and the like trying to manipulate the price. Reality this company has everything going for it!

Exactly. While it certainly does not mean it has reached a local maximum, it is certainly closer to one now than it was in the past!

i agree, its got a strong rep and seems to have good fundamentals.

but when the price of a stock rises 350% in 6 months... and they dont even really have a big market cap... its all speculation at this point. ive read about people putting their life savings into tesla and making 250000 dollars, but they invested when the stock was at 30. investing now is asking for trouble... i honestly dont know if the stock is worth 160, and with a p/e of like 300 im thinking its not. the company looks strong and only positive news has been coming from it, but wait for some negative news to kill it. maybe thats when i jump in and grab some options :)
