STOCK PICKING THREAD.... let's hear everyone's best picks!

Because Tesla's Battery Technology and Battery production capabilities are better than other car manufacturers

They're also still two or three years ahead of the Curve. In terms of the cars they're producing compared to other manufacturers. They also have a great brand and a lot of Ip technology

Everybody keeps saying that they're going to go down but it's just not happening.

The reason I think they're going to continue to go up is because electric cars are the future and they're doing it better than anyone else and they have a lot more of the pieces of the puzzle already in place in a big way

Yeah I just think solar batteries and electric cars are the future and they have all the pieces in place. I bet they're solar will be doing great in 5 or 10 years

tech ETF, attractive since it has lagged over the last month or so, though solid prospects in the larger scheme of things

Apple, familiar story, low P/E relative to tech peers, really good momentum, 5g onset will bring about need to upgrade

Emerging markets ETF- china is particularly strong due to their covid containment and a more favorable administration in Washington which is not tarri prone.

Small cap ETF may be uniquely positioned to benefit on stimulus packages and increased opening up as the pandemic wanes later in the year. Much may be already factored into it, though, so i would keep an eye on it...

All of these have fantastic liquidity, thus avoiding the need to perfectly time like your speculative plays

* actually Apple's p/e is currently right in line with the avg. for Tech 100 p/e. Historically it tends to be lower, but it has creeped up in the last couple of months to be right in line with it.

VT - Vanguard World Stock Index ETF. By which you own thousands of stocks at the global market weights.

Except VW or any other car manufacturers don’t have rabid fan base like Tesla does.

I think it’s similar to when Apple started taking off especially with iPhones. Basically, all of the other legacy phone makers started making touchscreen phones that are just as good as iPhones, but could never take much market share away from Apple. It’ll be the same with Tesla and EVs. Other manufacturers will make EVs almost as good as Tesla’s, but if you want the best, people will stick with Tesla’s. Just like with Apple having their ecosystem that makes it better for consumers and Apple itself, Tesla has its own ecosystem with supercharging network.

Your joke about VW having association with German quality was a funny joke. Hahaha. That was a good one!

Having said all of this, I wouldn’t be surprised if TSLA falls 50% from its current price as it’s a very volatile stock but in the long run, it’ll keep climbing higher.

Quit gambling big and grab your easy 10 to 30% while you still can, because the market is already stalling.

Is that like how COVID-19 cases were stalling at 2600 max back in April of last year?

Is that thing still up there? Pull it out, you'll feel much better.

Missed out on Tesla a bunch of times. I was all ready to buy it a year ago and just didn't seal the deal! It's 10 times higher since then

I bought around $10,000 in Tesla a few years ago. When Elon Musk called the British diver in Thailand a pedo for simply having a Thai wife I unloaded 80% of my stock with them (at a profit). Since then, it's sky rocketed as you say, so I've still made a nice profit, but also learnt my lesson never to sell because of an emotional dislike of what the CEO says on Twitter.

twenty-six years ago, guys and gals at the gym spouting stock tips at the gym got me started trading and investing. I've learned along the way.

I heard the same thing back then, too.

Watching Bad Wigins continue to try and post despite no one taking him seriously is honestly amazing. Obviously he still posts under his other handles, but they're pretty easy to spot ;)
