Re: I took a 10yr loan to buy TSLA shares [Austria]
It's only 15k, so it doesn't really matter what you do. A total loss wouldn't hurt that badly, and a five bagger wouldn't change your life. Although I do question why you pay such a high interest rate when cheaper options exist. Are you perhaps talking about futures? Options? Cheaper leverage? Some...

Re: I took a 10yr loan to buy TSLA shares [Austria]
Dear OP. What if you're wrong? Will it ruin you? How many years of your financial plan will it set you back? Do you have a plan on when to exit and what to do if your conviction falls flat? Or are you just counting on it not falling flat? No, 15k won't ruin me. To loose 15k, my TSLA shares need to ...

Re: I took a 10yr loan to buy TSLA shares [Austria]
Commentators: Please post: how old are you? What was the biggest loss in investing? What would you do differently locking backwards? What does "risk" mean for you, and what would you call a big risk? This will help a lot. Short answers are okay. This helps me to understand from what perspe...

Re: I may die poor

Just a run down: I am 40yo - making 140k a year and live in the bay area. My rent is 2750k a month. I do own a house in NV (currently renting it ...

Re: I took a 10yr loan to buy TSLA shares
So, yes, I do have high conviction. I rather discuss the Tesla bull thesis in the appropriate thread. But, I wouldn't say it's too late. Let me answer your questions Why didn't I invest into TSLA earlier? I paid for a flat. I had no money for imvesting. In 2008, when flats where cheap I bought a 3 r...

Re: Tesla becomes most valuable car company in the world
I am fascinated by Tesla. It is my old guy fantasy. I read about their full self driving beta and how they are driving down the cost of materials and installation costs of roof solar I am fascinated. I guess I am a Tesla groupie. Now I have no idea what the fundamentals are for Tesla. Frankly I dou...

I took a 10yr loan to buy TSLA shares
Hi, I am 39, an IT guy, unmarried. I own a house which is 50% paid. My job is nice. I love my girl. I sold my 3-room flat in a city and bought a house in the suburb. This was the first time I had money on my bank account. I made a 50% down payment. I kept only 30k. My interest rate is now at 0.5% (E...
