By the way... to be certain of what I'm discussing above is NOT that nobody should buy these types of stocks - The GoPro's / Tesla's / Alibaba's etc.... there "can be" huge money made in these kinds of stocks! What I'm talking about is if you're a relative newb to investing - you're trying to build some retirement - you have "limited" funds (say less than 100 grand already saved and invested)... BEWARE the gut wrenching drops stocks like these can take. You won't know if you're ready to stomach that until it's actually your hard earned money. It's not hard to take if you're just watching them do this. It's far far harder when it's real money.
Another one today is Tesla (TSLA).... down $13 ish today and $100 off it's high. This was a market darling - and plenty of people have made a nice gain on the shares... but many bought it $100 "ago". OUCH.
