Tesla S&P 500 inclusion - CRAZY DAY ON THE STOCK MARKET

Last night was pretty crazy on the stock

market if you're invested in Tesla. As you

may know, on Monday next week, Tesla is

going to be included into the S&P 500,

and Friday was the last day for these big

index funds and big companies to buy Tesla

shares to add into their index funds. And

it was, well, it was a roller coaster

ride. I personally, I have 12.7 shares,

and I was pretty lucky. I bought my shares

before the inclusion to the S&P 500 was

announced, and I managed to get my shares

at $407 each. So I have

around $5,000— I invested around $5,000

into Tesla, and now my shares are worth

over $8,000, which is pretty exciting. I

still have no idea what to do with them.

I, I kind of went backwards and forwards

between, I'm definitely going to sell them

all before Friday because everyone's

saying it's going to drop by loads, and

then I kept thinking maybe I should hold

on to them. Tesla's a pretty good company.

Company is just going to increase in value

in the future. Maybe I should just hold on

to them. And I ended up being unable

to decide what I wanted to do, and I ended

up just staring at the stock market all

day long until it was closed. So as you

can see, this is the Tesla stock.

Currently it's at $695, which I think is a

glitch. I don't think it's actually at

$695.

Anyway, so yesterday was just crazy.

Before the markets closed, it was hovering

around 672,

673, and it just stayed around there. And

then all of a sudden, it just completely

dropped all the way down to 632

at the bottom. And I was kind of

panicking. I was thinking, oh crap, I

should have sold my shares. Why didn't I

sell my shares when it was around here and

I could have made £2,500? If I sold all

the way at the bottom here, I would have

only made £2,000. And I had my finger

hovering over the sell button trying to

decide if I was going to sell. I actually

set a triggered sell at one point, but

then I quickly cancelled it. And then I

tried selling it, but then it lagged out,

and then the market closed, and it said

sell rejected. And I'm kind of glad it got

rejected because as soon as the market

closed, it just pinged up to 600 and—

where is it— 695,

and then it drops down to about 680.

So it hovered around 680, pinged back up

to 695, and then just kind of went

sideways here around 680. So yeah, so 680

now. The exciting thing next to wait for

is Monday, to see what happens on Monday,

see if it's going to go up more or if it's

going to drop. I still don't know what's

do. I'm thinking if it goes up above 700,

maybe I should sell because it's quite a

lot of money, and I don't know how long

it's going to take for Tesla to keep going

up even higher. Maybe it's going to drop,

and then for the next year it's just going

to stay below 600, and then I might as

well have just sold it when it was above

700. I know it's really hard to decide

what to do.

So now I guess I have the entire weekend

to try and figure out if I'm going to sell

on Monday. Hmm, I really can't decide. I

mean, it would be nice to be able to take

the money, to take the money and leave.

£2,500 is quite a lot of money. It could

even be more, maybe even £3,000 if Tesla

shares go over £700. And if it drops down,

well, Should I buy more? If it drops down

below 600, I guess that could be a good

opportunity to buy more Tesla and then

wait for it to eventually go back up.

Everyone's saying it's going to be worth

thousands in the future. In a year's time

or 2 years' time, the shares are going to

be worth over 1,000 or maybe 1,500.

And I think that could be true.

I mean, Tesla's a pretty good company. I

don't really see them going anywhere in

the future. I mean, I don't see them

failing in the future. I think they're

just going to keep getting bigger and

bigger. But the, the problem is patience,

really. With the stock market, you really

need patience. If you don't have patience,

you end up missing out on money.

All of the money I've lost so far in the

stock market, I only lost because I didn't

have enough patience. If I just had the

patience to wait for for the prices to go

back up, I wouldn't have lost anything

because all of the stocks I sold at a loss

eventually went back up. And actually, I

could have made a profit if I was just

patient, but I didn't have the patience

and I ended up selling some shares at a

loss. I don't desperately need the money,

so even though an extra £2,000 or £3,000

would be nice, I wouldn't even use it, to

be honest. I'd just reinvest it into

something else. And what would I reinvest

it into? I don't even know what companies

are out there that would be better than

Tesla to invest in. I think Tesla is a

pretty damn good company to be invested in

long term, so maybe I'll just leave it all

in Tesla, and if it goes up, then I can

celebrate how much money I could be

making, or if it goes down, then I could

just celebrate again about being able to

buy more Tesla at cheaper prices. So if I

had to make a prediction of what's going

to happen, I honestly have no idea. But if

I was forced to make a prediction, I would

say it's probably going to go over $700,

maybe a little bit over $750 or around

$750, and then it'll probably just hover

around there and then probably drop back

down. I think eventually there's going to

be a massive pullback and it's going to

drop all the way back down to around the

$600 levels. And then just stay around the

$600 levels for quite a long amount of

time until something else happens. But

again, I'm not really sure. That's just a

wild guess. That's what I could imagine

happening. And if that was going to

happen, then I guess I should sell around

$700. Because if I had the opportunity to

sell at $700 or $750 and I didn't sell,

and then Tesla just went back down to $600

and stayed around $600 for months and

months and months, then I'd be feeling

kind of stupid. I'd be feeling like— I'd

be thinking, damn, I should have just sold

when it was over $700 and cashed out. Why

am I waiting all this time for it to go

back up to $700? Which it probably will,

but it'll probably take half a year or a

year until it goes back up to those

levels. But then again, like I said

before, I'm not really in a rush. I'm not

super desperate to have the money right

now. And even if I did cash out,

um, I'm not gonna buy anything crazy with

the money. I would just reinvest it into

something else. And like I said before,

what better company is there to reinvest a

large amount of money into than Tesla?

Tesla is a pretty damn good company, and

I'm not really sure what other companies

I'd rather have a huge amount of money

invested in other than Tesla.

There's other really big companies out

there, but I feel like it's too late to

get in at a good price, and I feel like I

have gotten in into Tesla at a really good

price. I mean, $400 per share is what I

got into Tesla at, and that's a, that's a

really good deal. I really lucked out

timing my purchases before the S&P 500

inclusion. I didn't really know that was

going to happen. It was just purely luck.

I wasn't thinking, yes, they're going to

be included into the S&P 500 soon, now I'm

going to buy Tesla. I just kind of

randomly bought it and I wish I put way

more money into it but I guess it's too

late for that. Apart from the Tesla

excitement nothing really else exciting

happened with my shares. My 2 other

biggest holdings LCA and Palantir, they

haven't really done anything. Palantir is

just going sideways all the time sticking

around $26 not even touching $27.

LCA was supposed to have some kind of vote

for a merger, but they didn't have enough

votes, so the vote got postponed, and then

the share dropped a couple dollars. So I

have to wait until next week, I think,

until they do another voting session. I'm

not too confident about it. It seems a

bit— I don't know how to feel about LCA.

Maybe I'll just sell next week, or maybe

I should hold on to it. It's hard to tell

what to do sometimes. Yeah, apart from

Tesla, not much else happening with my

shares. Next exciting day will be Monday

next week. See what happens to Tesla

afterwards. And then after that, next

exciting day will be 29th of December when

LCA has another vote for a merger.

And now we have the long weekend. This is

the problem when you get into the stock

market. You just start hating the weekends

because the market's closed. You can't do

anything. Nothing's happening.

And yeah, it's like, it feels like the

longest 2 days in the entire world.
