Tigers who heavily invested in $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ might have finally broken even or made substantial profits during the recent surge.

On April 22, Tesla touched its lowest point of the first half at $138, down 44% from $250 at the beginning of the year.

However, some say they could withstand a 50% loss but couldn’t hold on to a 50% gain.

Most steadfast Tesla holders likely didn’t sell at the low point, but they might have sold after Tesla rose to broke even.

Endure a 50% loss without selling or to hold on to achieve a 50% gain? Which one is it harder for you?

For me, if I bought at a relatively high price, I would probably sell once I broke even. Holding onto a loss for an extended period makes me lose patience, and I worry that such a rebound is temporary, preventing me from enjoying a 50% profit.

The weel strategy shared by @谋定后动 in the recent livestream can effectively solve my problem.

  • When there is cash in the account, short puts and buy at relatively low prices;

  • after exercising the option to buy the stock, sell covered calls at a price slightly higher than the cost.

This way, the process avoids timing issues and earns premiums from short puts and calls, as well as the difference from buying low and selling high on the stock.

    No, if I hold a stock with loss, usually I won't sell it immediately after it breaks even. Since I can wait for so long for it to Breakeven, then I rather continue to wait until it generates some profits for me before I let it go. To be honestly, endure a 50% loss is definitely harder than hold on to 50% gain. I never try the wheel strategy before, good to know this new strategy, thanks!

    I did it rarely because I realised it was a bad investment.

    thank you, @Tiger_comments, for this event. Yes, just yesterday evening when the market opened,  $Koss(KOSS)$ went up, and all sold off with profits made. I didn't expect this would happen as i slept by 2300 hours plus after a long walk in extreme cold weather in Australia. Only to find out this morning while getting the Tiger coins 🪙. It felt so delight as it turned out to be dark 🐎.  Breakeven...time to let go and grab another good stock 😀 👍 [Sly]

    I'd sell when I start profiting.

    Love the wheel strategy and am employing it right now.
