I'll say this as one who has traded a fair amount of TSLA, starting shortly after IPO. I've done well enough with it to have purchased several of their cars (we do not own one, however). I also sold most of what we had a few months back via call options, save 50 shares.
With my resume out of the way: if you have to ask on Hacker News whether or not to buy TSLA, then don't. A lot of what drives that price up or down is drama, not financials or technical charting. If you like to buy your stocks based on what the Kardashians are up to this week, maybe pick up 100 shares. But seriously, just stay the hell away. You want to roll dice right now, go buy BA.
