Are you trying to make money or do you need some short term losses before year end to ease your tax burden?

[dp0622]

I’d say even on an anonymous board you’re an idiot for saying you have a million dollars and more of a braggart than really asking for advice.

Because if asking strangers for advice is how you have operated, you wouldn’t have one million dollars.

The threads and vanities on this site are becoming more and more bizarre by the day.

It’s one hundred thou not a million.

100k

Forty percent in Tesla.

JMHO - TSLA - stay away. Apple and Amazon still have room to grow but, be prepared for a huge sell off before June 2021.

Go with Global Crossing and Enron!

Short term? In Stocks?

Send me the money and I will send you back 95% in a month.

[going hot]

If you have a strong heart, you can buy and sell tsla daily, and with a 100K to play, go up and down some 5-10 K daily.

Good luck!

I would only short them until Trump gets in.

And I followed AMD up from $2.15.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Really, almost a crap shoot.

Send it to me. I’ll give back 80% at year end. You’ll have certainty.

> EOY = 3 days???

Yes, i am thinking only a few days in advance at this moment because i think beyond that, there are too many variables, and i would want to pull back and be very conservative after the new year. this is only for my ira accounts (in which there is evidently no penalty for short term investing— please feel free to correct me if i am wrong on this).

(however, if anyone has a better idea with some supporting arguments i would be interested)

The stock market is at an all time high. Time to be selling. Too much euphoria. Look at yahoo finance and check each stock for future earnings and stock prices. Or just hold and keep holding. Blue chips are steadier than bottle rocket small companies.

[spokeshave]

Forty percent in Tesla.

Ha...only if in Put options

Read recent stories about poor quality and worker dissatisfaction from the Tesla Mega-factory in China...same with the battery mega factories ...quality again..

[ConservativeMind]

IRA accounts have no short-term/long-term gains to worry about because they are tax-free.

> Are you trying to make money or do you need some short term losses before year end to ease your tax burden?

I don’t want to lose any money. I have been doing very well for the past 4 years (gee i wonder how that happened lol). I do not know enough about taxes to know if you are serious or not, although i suspect you are not being serious.

I am not a Tesla fan, mainly because it has and continues to set vast piles of money on fire. However, the Chinese government is known for hatchet jobs against foreign-owned companies that sell to the domestic market. The Chinese media, print, electronic and social, are at the beck and call of the regime. The odds are good that this was orchestrated by Xi Jinping’s minions. They can’t be too overt about it - foreign investors would leave en masse. But this kind of regime maneuver is par for the course.
