TESLA TRUMPS TOWARDS THE TOP!

Just a week back, in a Fortune 500 CEO survey, CEOs mentioned Tesla as a stock that they would go short on. 

Now, we have this graph that shows that Tesla is the world's most valuable automaker! In fact, Tesla’s valuation has jumped by an impressive 375% since this time last year!

In fact, as you can see from the size of the bubbles, other than Toyota, no other auto manufacturer comes anywhere close to Tesla.

Elon Musk has a tendency to surprise everyone every time people try to write him off.

This story is not yet over, so fasten your seat belts and keep watching this space!

STOCK RETURNS

Check out the tweet shot below. It shows the stock returns in some of the big companies in USA since the time of their IPO. 

Equity returns of such gigantic proportions are enough to change your lives, provided you invested well in time with a good amount.

There are some clear lessons here: 

1. It is extremely important to identify the diamonds. You may not know it then, but you have to go on your gut and belief. 

2. Patience always pays. It would have been difficult to hold back on to these shares if someone invested in them since IPO because of their returns. However, if people have still held on to it, then they would be laughing all the way to the bank today.

3. If the company and its business model is good, you can enter at any given point of time - either as an angel investor in its pre IPO days, or during the IPO or even as a shareholder who buys these stocks when they are still priced at a reasonable price. 

Have you been lucky and smart to find such gems early enough?
