BTW --- Tesla (TSLA) is UP 411% Year to date.... on big volume - but if you look at the volume as the price has risen -- the volume traded is going down (not huge but trending down) as the price has gotten up there. There could be a couple reasons for that --- over 100 a share lots of people are "priced out" of betting or trading the shares --- or that as the price has risen -- people just aren't as confident of turning a buck in the name.
I would NOT let the big run up turn me off.... LOTS of stock have lots bigger runs than that -- and do so for a number of years.... Microsoft -- Dell -- Cisco -- Apple - Oracle....
I would instead -- concentrate on how much you have to "play with" --- and go with that and just think of it as playing black jack or roulette.... you'll kick yourself if you didn't get in on the fun when you hear all the people screaming EEEEEEEHHHHHHAAAAAAA..... and you'll learn a good lesson about who you are and what kind of investor you are if you loose your ass. And maybe somewhere along the line - it doesn't go as far - but doesn't tank - and therefore you'll live to gamble again. Does that make sense?
