Buying the Dip? Lessons from My TTD Wipeout, Before I Look at Tesla I'll be real: TTD cost me a lot more than a few kopi runs and chicken rice. Great company, great story, so I bought the dip, then bought the next one. Then earnings came and it dropped 30%+ in a single day. The business wasn't broken. I paid a "must be perfect" price for a company that only had to miss once. Lesson one: a great company is not the same as a great entry price. Now Tesla has just shown a Roadster that flies on cold-gas thrusters, jumping over cars and doing a barrel roll.
