Is the current $120 price on TSLA an investment or a dead cat bounce?

I literally have no opinion. I figured out Musk was off his rocker some time ago and have no intention of investing in anything associated with him, so I haven't researched the company at all. I made (past tense) a lot of money on STKS and CIM. Right now I'm just holding.

Chimera Investment Corporation (CIM) operates as a real estate investment trust (REIT) in the United States. 15% dividend going ex today! Good choice! I would be wary of STKS.

Whatever you think of him Musk has been an effective hype man, pre-divorce and full throttle mid life crisis that showed how mercurial he is, that managed to sell the dream of Tesla making it gain a tech company like valuation. It looks like he has sped along the process of people seeing it's a somewhat innovative car company, not Microsoft. Now we're looking at the valuation settling to something more sane than being worth more than the rest of the automotive sector combined.

Judging by the trading volume it looks like $100 will be the low. I would be tempted to buy but I am uneasy about 2023.

At this point (not having realized it fell below $115/share), I'd have to say below $100 is a certainty, below $80 is likely, and below $50 is possible. TSLA was *way* overvalued. They had a stock price like a run-away tech stock, when it is a manufacturing company. They can't just boost their income by selling more copies of their software or standing up a new server farm to cover their web traffic. They have to actually manufacture more cars and provide warranty service for several years after manufacture.

As low as $108.81 with over 200,000,000 share traded. That is about 24 billion dollars in shares traded on high volume and record lows. Based on the volume it suggests this stock will fall below $100 - Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) Stock Price, News, Quote & History - Yahoo Finance
FYI, bought some more at @ $110. Was tempted to buy even more when it dropped to around $106 AH but held off hoping that it would eventually drop below $100. It still might, it's gonna be a tough couple of Qtrs. At the moment I'm looking good, but as we all know that could change really quickly. Always best to have a plan and stick to it. Currently the plan is... wait, I've got a good opening position for the time being so I'll hold there.

Hopefully in 2023 we do not get off the beaten path!

In my mind EV's are going to be around for the foreseeable future, so you have to have a position somewhere in that space, be it a manufacturer, or a supplier. I already have some chip stocks, so the logical thing was to buy some stock in a manufacturer. But which one? There are so many small startups. I ended up pairing Tesla with Ford. I've got equal positions in both.

So far, so good. But it could be a tough year. Then again I don't have a one year time horizon.

$104.70... Mayday! Mayday! Shes dropping fast with the pilot sound asleep at the wheel! Brace... Brace... Brace! Prepare for impact!
You have to learn not to get too caught up in day to day price fluctuations, it'll give you ulcers. Today's price drop was interesting, but not shocking. It's just back to where it was a week ago. You're either willing to take a position at this price level or you're not. Do your due diligence, evaluate the company/stock and make up your mind. Do you think that Warren Buffett is worried that Apple has dropped 30% from its high? Probably not. He probably sleeps just fine. (I own some AAPL too) If owning stocks is gonna keep you up at night every time they drop you should probably stick with a nice safe mutual fund.

Otherwise trust your research, know what you're buying and why, and have a plan. I know it can be frightening, but so long as you don't overextend yourself, you'll get used to it. As they say, this too shall pass.

When it goes down nearly every day, it isn't a "fluctuation", it's a trend.

And one must be cautious, I believe, of what is called the "Dead Cat Bounce" in which a troubled stock is given some kind of temporal hope, and then the reality of the situation sets in, causing it to fall further another day.

It's pretty impressive that no one was seriously hurt.

Looks like it was meant to be a murder/suicide.
