For me, it all began when I took delivery of a Tesla Model 3 in the beginning of 2019. Once I drove the car, I became such a fan of “Tesla” that I decided to throw some money in Tesla stock, at $260 per share, in hopes that maybe over time, it’ll help pay for the sales tax of the car. I’m not usually the type of person to go and invest in individual stocks like this, but – I figured – I’m a fan of the company, I want to support what they do, and I’ll just invest an amount that I’d be comfortable with losing.
Over time, though…the company does better, Model 3 sales look promising, Elon Musk cuts costs…and, in what seems like home-run after home-run for Tesla…the stock started going up, a LOT. And that brings us to this year.
Once the price of the stock jumped past $900 in a matter of a day – I felt it was approaching a level that just wasn’t sustainable, and driven more-so by the euphoria of profit, rather than the fundamentals of the company. And, even though I believe in Tesla Long Term…I had also tripled my money, and felt it would be a good idea lock in some profit. So, I sold off 50% of my Tesla holdings at $912 per share…and on that, I made a 350% return within a year.
I suppose, on the surface…Tesla has quite a few things going for it: One, several analysts have boosted their expectations for the stock – causing more demand, and more people piling in to buy in. Piper Sandler also just announced a Tesla Price Target of $928 – and Morgan Stanley raised its price target to $1200 – which was, at least partially, responsible for some of the recent rally to get Tesla where it is today.
Now, as far as my thoughts on all of this…even with prices reaching ABOVE where I sold half my Tesla stock a few weeks ago…I don’t regret selling. Sure, in hindsight…if I had a way to predict the future, of course…I’d absolutely have rather just waited, obviously. If we KNEW what was going to happen, selling at anything lower would’ve been stupid.
But, that brings us to the entire premise of investing in that – on a speculative stock increase like this – NO ONE can predict what’s going to happen, and we all need to make the most calculated decision we can, at the time, with the information we have available to us. Sometimes, you’re going to be right – and, sometimes, you’re going to be wrong – and I can confidently say that it’s IMPOSSIBLE to predict what’s going to happen in the future.
It’s about being SMART with your money, knowing your tolerance to price fluctuations, and being OK with locking in profits – or holding out – knowing you’ll need to be OK with that decision. And, for me…that’s why I decided to sell 50% of my holdings, and then hang on to the rest.
So, anyway…there are my thoughts on Tesla, the basics and fundamentals of investing long term, and the importance of being patient and knowing your own risk tolerance to sell and lock in profits, and not get carried away with emotion. And, like I said in the last video about this…we’ll look back and see how this all plays out.

At least you still have 50% invested. Maybe wait till it breaks $1000 and sell. But make sure you buy the dip next time. You should be able to set up an automated position to buy back when the stock drops below a set price like say $800 or even $900 if you want to be certain of catching the dip..
Stonk price
20 year hold for me.
Tesla will exceed Berkshire Hathaway and Bitcoin prices combined by 2025 with growing solar energy storage demand and general electrification of the global automobile industry serving 7bn people. As global carbon footprint (reduction) becomes a higher priority with global warming and climate change and challenges following the Davos economic summit 2020, it must be noted that every major road in every developed, developing and emerging country will install Tesla charging points for EVs as global reliance on petrol diminishes due to Saudi / OPEC complacency over oil supplies.
Imagine large haulage vehicles / trucks and passenger buses in polluted countries suddenly no longer rely on diesel (but solely on the sun for energy!).
Tesla is undervalued at ARK’ valuation of $7,000 by 2024 because global demand for limited Tesla stocks will rise beyond our imagination as they lead the EV and solar energy storage and solar panel industry. If Tesla really wants to focus on developing the company and protecting it against various health & safety and economic obstacles it needs to look towards non-conventional unusual low production cost countries such as Bangladesh (eg Sylhet) and Afghanistan for solar energy and battery production for the future which would help the unemployed also as well as reducing reliance on Gigafactory countries such as China and Germany. I am writing a autobiographical account of how I have invested in TSLA stocks and why I believe more global millennials will join this rush to be part of the Tesla stock market success. Tesla is not like the old Bitcoin, she is the new Bitcoin and able to transport you to a world of cleaner and renewable energy.
Any queries Email me info@mbauk.net
You definitely did the right thing. You made profit. Letting people play coulda should woulda with your timing will drive you crazy. You don’t have to sell at the peak. You just have to sell higher than you bought.
I’m a little surprise after it dropped 20% you didn’t buy back the cheaper stock.
I bought a single share of Tesla today lol.
very bad decision
Stock keeps going up and down! Sometimes you need to profit and walk away. 😎
Sounds like a lot of cope to me
You should sell all not 50%
Yeah you might be a millionaire and all but you have the most punchable face ever Graham. Every thumbnail on your videos makes me feel this way.
I think it bothers you some. Or you wouldn’t have put in the effort for the video and over thought about it.
Because I know you are more of a stock holder than a seller. I think part of you knows TSLA isn’t going anywhere, and the stock will continue to climb to all time highs. Even bad news, doesn’t drop the TSLA stock price. Broken window reveal, Corona virus, rest of the market goes down and TSLA goes UP.
Which makes the logical stock people, need to go change their underwear.
You did good keeping %50 Gram.
Keep up the good videos!
But now the real question is.. is it a good idea to buy at $912?
He plays tesla stocks like its fantasy football
Don’t lie, you regret selling it😏
you have a tiny short arms.
why didn’t you buy back at 700’s? after the first drop it’ll revisit the ath then either blow past or create a double top
Fuel cars are going away. Ev is going to be the new transportation Method.
humble enough to admit it was luck, and no one can predict the future.
Smart enough to tell us his risk and reasoning why we sold it.
Definitely subscribing!
I think you secretly regret it (as you should) and made a video just to convince yourself otherwise.
Tesla long term is in fact going higher, I don’t care to explain why to a greedy person.
wallstreetbets getting a shoutout wow never thought i’d see this here
Guh
I love you, Graham. You give me hope.
Solving the money problem would be both disappointed on you selling and proud on your reasoning and decision making.
Why you put 2 adds in between video☹️
Most are missing what the coronavirus will do to Tesla. They have over 40 suppliers in China and if one non-replaceable part runs out that production line will stop. I think that is the reason for the recent unexpected capital raise.

Graham, can you give me $20,000? Please dude I need some money….I’m poor. Please help. Thank you

Best time to buy is always now. Best time to sell is always never!
I sold too
Perfect timing man, markets are going down, that’s for sure.
Lol don’t you feel stupid right now.
@Bryan Del Cid Do I feel like I was wrong?
-Yeah
Stupid?
-Not necessarily.
Diego De La Mota wrong and stupid
Bryan Del Cid Alright, if insulting people makes you feel good…
Diego De La Mota It kinda does.
Don’t overthink it. You made money, and you’re still half in. That’s a win in my book.
I have a good idea for I would really appreciate if you can reach out to me or if you can give me a way to reach out for you
I sold my Tesla at $450 a share… can’t be greedy though I still returned 100%
I sold at 960 lalalala
Good for you to sell. There will always be another dip to jump back in later. Pigs get slaughtered 😉
This video is charged (because it is Tesla; of all things electric).
Can’t wait for the video on the mini crash
tteslsa droped in price
The timing of your selling of Tesla was “GENIUS”!!! Stock is down over $200 since you sold it. You need to change your name to Graham “Bobby Axlerod” Stephan
Well this aged well and it’s only been 2 weeks
nice!
Good job GRAHAM .. if only you would have just switch sides of the trade like the big boys and you could make the same amount of money on the way down. I have posted many times here… Elon is a ConMan and the stock is a manipulated scam that has made him rich. You are all minions in the scheme. I said GET SHORT this stock at 888 … Selling is great but learning the art of shorting is another way to fund a lifestyle. The great depression x2 is cometh as the recession started 6 months ago but that goofball President you have denied it.@t
I agree its overpriced currently but Elon is far from a COn. He delivers and believes in making great innovative products.
@Financialfortune he is the greatest deceiver of the last decade. New decade he will be found out.
@Real Truth Go to bed lmao.
@Financialfortune $330 target
TSLA is now down to 654.12… You made the right call my man!
$650 now 😹😹
THAT WAS PERFECT TIMING YOU SOLD YOUR STOCKS BEFORE THE MARKETS CRASHED. This man is ridiculously good at what he does O.o
this video has aged well
Some would say your video caused the price drop?
Would you buy again at 650???
no
this has aged well, this is the definition of getting out RIGHT ON TIME!! lmao
I guess so!
lol 😂 it’s trading over 2000 just announced a split with a possibility to join the SP 500 meaning it has more room to run not to mention it has a battery day coming up but Green>Greed can’t be mad with profits but this has got to sting a little
The best way to making money from investing is to look at a graph of stock price on y and time on x when you get a peak value and you see it start going down is the time to sell the stock and gain the profit since you bought the stock at a lower price than you sold it at.
Tesla will eventually be a successful company mainly because they have: 1. They are actually a big tech company, not just an auto manufacture. 2. They have an amazing product. 3. They have a very innovative leader, Elon Musk.
Gram makeing his money back on this video
I bet you regret not selling ALL of your Tesla stock now lol.
But did you rebuy? 🙂
Good Work Graham! lookin’ pretty smart now!
“Or maybe the stock price starts falling and falling and then I look like a genius” – Graham Stephan. Teslas stock is currently at 445$, you don’t look like, you are a GENIUS!!
😩
Nah its $1500 LOL I wish i could go back in time 😩
It turned out your a genius!!
from the future. NOPE HE IS NOT!
Can we talk about how Graham made the best call by selling before a pandemic happened?
Wow it’s 545 now 😳 would you consider picking it up again now?
Lookiing at the video on 14 april 2020 … and TSLA is 728$ after droping to 500.. it was genius move 🙂
Buy again at a price of around 600-700$ for long term.
Hi Stephan, I am new to your channel and honestly only found it because of your tesla videos. Tesla is my dream car and I loved all your videos on it and I started watching a few other ones. I realized not too long ago that you never know what you’ll get in life unless you ask. so here I am. I doubt you will ever see this. However, I am super intrigued in what you do and how you’re so successful at a young age. I 1000% that it comes through hard work and many ups and downs as well as some luck thrown into it but mostly your determination to do more for yourself and your family. I would love to talk sometime and figure out how I could do better for myself. I have 0 support from home with my dreams and who I want to be. I work as a EMT and am in the paramedic program and then will work as a firefighter medic. which doesn’t make good money and that is not why I do it. I just really want to build a passive form of income so that I can build wealth for myself, family, and to honestly give back and help others which is all I have wanted to do. I cant eve afford a camera for Youtube haha. I would love to chat and just bounce ideas off you and see what could happen. on the small miracle occasion you’ve read this haha THANK YOU and GOD BLESS and stay safe in these crazy times!
Thx for making this video, it gave me some investing ideas. I would like to see the links to the articles that you used in the video in the description, helps me out a lot! Thx. Smashing the like button now!
No one ever went broke from taking a profit!!!
Meanwhile, today Tesla stock is over 1000.
I feel sorry for you
I wonder if he bought more in march?
tesla today 7-05-2020 1,208.66
1,371.51. one day later
July 2020. Tesla share price is 1,400 dollars.
And 4 months later it has grown about 55% to $1400😂
Do you think this is a good price to buy now? Planning on holding for years
lynksis12 if you’re holding for years I probably would, because I believe in the company and musk long term. But do your own research on IF you should buy and WHEN you should buy. Cause from just yesterday it moved from $1400 – $1530, a new record high. And might be joining the S&P 500 soon, depending on this quarter report. Just some things to think about.
now its 1544…lol
1500 rn lmao buy and hold.
Bet you regret selling now…
Do you regret selling your tesla stock now?
Seriously, do you regret now?
Jajajaja You don’t regret selling Tesla stocks Jaja You are a great investor XD
I see what you’re saying, but one should invest in a company they believe in. A company that delivers good products and has good management. Glad that you’re happy and okay with selling, but I wonder why you bought it in the first place.
About that you regret it now
Comment how much Tesla is worth In your time, now it’s worth *1568.36*
And here we are….. $1540…..
Who’s watching this when tesla stock is 1600$ right now
Wrong it’s $2,500 😉
🤦🏻♂️
just goes to show not to listen to you..
This didn’t age well
Look at the stock now 😳
You don’t regret it perhaps bc you have money enough not to. Anybody else would definitely have regret selling a lot of shares at $900 when now it’s at 2k.
Who’s laughing now 2k+ 😂
Lmaoooo .He’s jumping in at $440
Well wonder if there’s any regret now… lol
Kidding, love your videos! I learn so much from them
Hahaha…hahahaha. You completely regret it now I bet. Cope harder.
ikr, he got way too cocky AND made a video about it. imagine the cope
This did not age well.
this video aged like a fucking moldy bread.
Are you still so sure about that now though? 😉
It’s not absolutely impossible to predict what’s going to happen in the future
No it’s not impossible if you have more data than the next person.
or a better interpretation of those data
Now you regret selling?
How’s that regret thing going these days. Elon made those red short shorts for guys like you
How do you feel now?
I will comeback every quarterly report! Gladly im still holding my tesla for next 5 years😁
just fyi tesla is a bubble that will pop lol there’s no way they can back up their stock value with their revenue. It’ll keep going up until it pops and then drop hard, so feel free to keep it but 5 years is pushing it
800 split!👍
Well.. This line did NOT age WELL
I had a lot going on after I got my inheritance from my grand father and it was to much for me considering my age and what I I had to do in mind. I got introduced *fxcascade* thru Instegrm. He introduced me to trading and with he’s assistance im able to multiply my inheritance and now I’m big in the investment game!
