I ended down about 278 today paper trading TSLA. It's my fault, I jumped in a window that was a little bit too short, shorted it, and then people jumped on it and pushed it from 902 to 911. So one bad trade was in there for -840 on that short.
I was thinking I could get away with it because the stock is worth 300, and not 900. I didn't even get true confirmation to short it, I saw something and I jumped the gun.
No one can really think TSLA is worth 35% of the total car market right now.
Lesson learned. I really don't like to be on stocks where retail is pushing them, it just screws up the analysis and makes it too volatile. Even now, the stock is all over the place. Trying not to get mad at myself, but somehow I got an itchy trigger finger and underestimated how hard they are pushing it. And then the sumbitch comes back down.
