Goddamit. Apparently I actually called the bottom on TSLA.
So, I like Tesla as a company - they're pushing hard for clean, desirable electric cars with a great supercharger network. Plus stationary storage, attempting self-driving, etc. Plenty of issues too - but lots of future potential.
But, I always just stick with VTI.
Stock kept going down. And down.
One day 2-3 weeks ago, I notice it at $178.97 just after market close - I consider this ridiculously low for the potential the company has. Hasn't been that low in over 2 years, and they've successfully started producing Model 3 since then. So, I have some cash in the account (~1% of my total stock) because I was lazy and after some dithering put in a limit order for $180 using all the cash.
Flagged. Merrill Edge says that it's too high above the close, do I REALLY want to do that?
*sigh* Rather than override, I repost the limit order at $179.
Next morning - stock opens above $179, order is never filled. Within a few days, it's back over $200 and is now over $220.
So, that's me calling the bottom on a stock. We'll see whether it sticks or not ;)
