This is why $TSLA is not for the faint of heart. Investing in this company takes extreme conviction. You have to know what you own, do your homework, and stay steady through the noise, bc most people can't handle it, panic, and sell along the way.

These were one of toughest most recent moments:

1/ 2024/2025: A Trump fallout with Elon, combined with weak EV sales sent Tesla stock down -56% from highs.

2/ 2022/2023: Elon was forced into buying Twitter for $44B, funding it by selling Tesla stock, while shorts pile in ahead. The stock fell -75% from peak to bottom.

3/ 2020: Covid shut the world down, factories closed, and fear spread that no one would buy Teslas. The stock plunged -63%.

Through all of that, real long-term investors stayed and took advantage. This is why I have massive respect for those who've long-term and all-in since day one. And I always come back to this quote by Elon Musk. If you put it on a notecard and keep it close, it'll remind you why conviction matters:

"Buy stock in companies that make products & services that you believe in. Only sell if you think their products & services are trending worse. Don't panic when the market does. This will serve you well in the long term."

- Elon Musk
