Anatomy of the $TSLA trade thesis: I’m just going to run through my exact thought process on why I put over 70% of my account in $TSLA over the last month or two. 1) The chart.

Ordinarily I will call for caution as often times, many investor legends become that from just one good move. Like one hit wonders. However this time around, it is moving up in an environment where the entire market is on a wild stampede up in valuation, and everyone is in FOMO mode. OpenDoor going up from $0.50 to $10.00 in just a few days is suggesting that it may well be pushed up to $50. Driven purely just by the masses wanting to find the next Carvana. And interestingly the money seems to be moving from some Mag-7's. Lately Nvidia, Apple, etc., have been seeing funds being withdrawn. This may be what i
