Tesla vs. the S&P 500: Which Is the Better First Investment?

For beginners I always advocate to start with a stable ETF (SPY) to grow your portfolio. Gain as much knowledge during the 'waiting' time. Buy Call options with max expiry date.

Just Sell Put at 10 to 13 range Strike, collect premium along the way. Just need to calculate your return should be above 4%p.a. If it gets assigned, I'm prepared to hold for long term Calls, similarly, collect premium of above 4% p.a Just my personal strategy.

For instance, it&#39;s an individual stock and that means it has different characteristics from market indexes.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0ae19821a1c7e530ce29e3d405bb7598\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>In a normal market, the <b>S&amp;P 500</b> won&#39;t generally match the upside potential of a growth stock like Tesla. For instance, Tesla&#39;s first-quarter revenue jumped more than 80% year over year, with production and unit shipments rising nearly 70%. Sales for stocks in the S&amp;P 500 when averaged out don&#39;t grow at rates like that. At best, total revenue for market indexes might modestly outpace the economy in general.</p><p>This elevated growth translates to increased returns, which sparks outsized interest from investors. Since Tesla&#39;s IPO in 2010, the stock price is up nearly 16,000%. Meanwhile, the S&amp;P 500 is up about 380% over the same time frame. That&#39;s a great return for the index, but the two obviously aren&#39;t comparable. If you&#39;re looking to ride an investment to the moon, an individual stock is the way to go -- as long as it&#39;s the right individual stock.</p><p>There are other benefits that individual stocks can bring for first-time investors. In many ways, your first investment is a learning experience rather than a major financial decision. It&#39;s a bit easier to track an individual stock and become engaged as its story unfolds.</p><p>Investors can read the news whenever the stock moves substantially to figure out what&#39;s driving the price change. It&#39;s also helpful to read quarterly and annual reports. By thumbing through a 10-K, investors can get a sense for the accounting and financial analysis involved in stock picking. Listening to the analyst question portion of the quarterly earnings conference calls can be really informative too because it will illustrate the ways that Wall Street approaches investment analysis.</p><p>First-time investors can also keep track of relevant financial metrics related to valuation, growth, operating efficiency, and financial health. Most of those learning events aren&#39;t really applicable when applied to whole indexes.</p><p>Tesla also brings some unique educational value to new investors. The company is a case study in disruption, as it came in and displaced the incumbents of an established global industry. It&#39;s still well behind its rivals in terms of production volume, but it&#39;s by far the largest in terms of market cap.</p><p>The electric vehicle company can also teach investors about the behavior of growth stocks across market cycles. The stock soared during the pandemic rally, but it&#39;s been crushed year to date -- even though the company&#39;s financial results have been positive overall.</p><p>By following Tesla, new investors can learn a lot about equity research, valuation, and market dynamics. These lessons are great building blocks that can be applied to investments moving forward.</p><h2>The case for the S&amp;P 500</h2><p>Index investing won&#39;t provide the same experience or upside potential, but an exchange-traded fund based on the S&amp;P 500 will be much more stable overall. The stocks in the S&amp;P 500 are more diversified, and it&#39;s not nearly as volatile as Tesla&#39;s stock. By investing in the whole market, you aren&#39;t making a simple bet on one company&#39;s performance.</p><p>All sorts of unexpected issues can pop up and threaten a business, from competition to regulation. Tesla might seem unstoppable right now, but investors thought the same about <b>Blackberry</b>, Yahoo!, Blockbuster, and countless other industry leaders that ended up not living up to expectations. Crazy things can happen.</p><p>Investors who can&#39;t handle some volatility should also avoid loading up on one stock. Tesla&#39;s beta is above 2, which means that the stock&#39;s movements up and down are double that of the S&amp;P 500. This is especially relevant in the midst of our current market downturn. If you&#39;re going to react negatively when your investment account values fall, it&#39;s going to be even worse with a single high-beta stock.</p><p>Investing in the whole S&amp;P 500 won&#39;t teach you as much about the developments of individual stocks, but it can be more informative about overall market dynamics. Index funds show how stocks react to macroeconomic news and capital market dynamics. In the short term, these factors are often just as important for stock performance as stock-specific news. It also sets more realistic expectations for your future investments. Most of your stocks won&#39;t behave like Tesla, so it might not be the most useful template.</p><h2>The verdict</h2><p>The better first investment really depends on your personal circumstances. Ultimately, you&#39;ll have to branch out past either Tesla or the S&amp;P 500 if you want to achieve the best possible returns, regardless of which you start with. Tesla offers more potential upside and a better case study for learning about equity analysis. The S&amp;P 500 is a more stable, &#34;safer&#34; bet that&#39;s less likely to leave a bad taste in your mouth.</p><p>Tesla will probably be more fun for most investors, but it can also be more stressful. Make sure that you&#39;re ready to purchase at least 20 to 30 more stocks once you become comfortable with your first investment.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Tesla vs. the S&P 500: Which Is the Better First Investment?</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nTesla vs. the S&P 500: Which Is the Better First Investment?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-06-03 19:31 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/06/03/tesla-vs-sp-500-which-better-first-investment/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Many investors start their stock buying journey by making an initial investment in something like an index fund or in some popular company, Tesla for example.

Tesla might seem unstoppable right now, but investors thought the same about Blackberry, Yahoo!, Blockbuster, and countless other industry leaders that ended up not living up to expectations. Crazy things can happen.Investors who can't handle some volatility should also avoid loading up on one stock. Tesla's beta is above 2, which means that the stock's movements up and down are double that of the S&P 500. This is especially relevant in the midst of our current market downturn. If you're going to react negatively when your investment account values fall, it's going to be even worse with a single high-beta stock.Investing in the whole S&P 500 won't teach you as much about the developments of individual stocks, but it can be more informative about overall market dynamics. Index funds show how stocks react to macroeconomic news and capital market dynamics. In the short term, these factors are often just as important for stock performance as stock-specific news. It also sets more realistic expectations for your future investments. Most of your stocks won't behave like Tesla, so it might not be the most useful template.The verdictThe better first investment really depends on your personal circumstances. Ultimately, you'll have to branch out past either Tesla or the S&P 500 if you want to achieve the best possible returns, regardless of which you start with. Tesla offers more potential upside and a better case study for learning about equity analysis. The S&P 500 is a more stable, \"safer\" bet that's less likely to leave a bad taste in your mouth.Tesla will probably be more fun for most investors, but it can also be more stressful. Make sure that you're ready to purchase at least 20 to 30 more stocks once you become comfortable with your first investment.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":450,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":241028252008720,"gmtCreate":1699852638791,"gmtModify":1699854233626,"author":{"id":"3575085777215446","authorId":"3575085777215446","name":"Superforce","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/278c0068b95e8ba4ba4c349cada08a7a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575085777215446","authorIdStr":"3575085777215446"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Just Sell Put at 10 to 13 range Strike, collect premium along the way.

The company’s shares are now up ~30% since the publication of my latest article on Palantir in late September, and I still believe that the business’s growth story is far from over. Even though Palantir now trades at multiples that are significantly greater in comparison to the average market multiples, there are reasons to believe that the growth opportunities will continue to outweigh the valuation concerns in the following quarters and help the shares keep their momentum. That’s why I’m still holding my long position in the company and have no plans to unwind it anytime soon.</p><h2 id=\"id_3571234717\">All Eyes On AI</h2><p>Earlier this month Palantir revealed its Q3 earnings report which showed that the company’s revenues during the period increased by 16.8% Y/Y to $558 million, above the estimates by $2.08 million, while its non-GAAP EPS stood at $0.07, also above the estimates by $0.01. The company has also generated $133 million in cash from operations and ended the quarter with $3.3 billion in cash reserves, which is a major increase from $2.5 billion a year ago.</p><p>Such a great performance helped the stock appreciate to the 52-week high levels and there are reasons to believe that the shares could retain their momentum in the future as everything points out to the fact that Palantir’s growth story is far from over.</p><p>With the launch of its generative AI platform AIP earlier this year, Palantir was able to generate an impressive interest in the platform and attracted almost 300 major clients who are now using it. As we enter the new age of AI, it appears that Palantir has a major advantage over its peers in the government and commercial sectors.</p><p>The AI is already changing the nature of warfare and Palantir is currently learning about how AIP could be efficiently used on the battlefield by deploying it in Ukraine. Back in June, I wrote an article about Palantir’s operations in my home country of Ukraine and noted how the company uses the current war to test its software directly on the battlefield. After that, a few weeks ago Ukraine’s Minister of Digital Transformation revealed that Palantir’s AIP platform is being used as one of the primary generative AI tools to help the government learn about how many mined areas there currently are and how long will it take to demine them. The minister notes that such a task would’ve taken data analysts days and shows on the video that AIP could do it in a few moments. He also states that the system is constantly being improved with the help of new data and more real use cases will be revealed later.</p><p>This example shows that AI is indeed changing warfare and Palantir appears to be at the forefront of learning about all the changes to ensure that AIP and its other platforms have an edge against other competitors. That’s why even though the company’s government revenues increased by 12% Y/Y in Q3 to $308 million, there are reasons to believe that the growth will accelerate once the adoption of generative AI tools among government agencies increases over time.</p><p>At the same time, a similar thing could also be said about the commercial sector, which is interested in using generative AI tools to better optimize its own operations. The use of generative AI tools has surged in recent months and such a growth has been reflected in Palantir’s financials. In Q3, its commercial revenues increased by 23% Y/Y to $251 million, while its US commercial customer count increased by 37% Y/Y. The company is now on track to conduct AIP Bootcamps for over 140 organizations by the end of this month, as the interest in different AI tools is unlikely to decrease anytime soon.</p><h2 id=\"id_2766984226\">The Valuation Dilemma</h2><p>Given all of those growth opportunities, there’s no denying that Palantir’s business is likely to continue to generate aggressive double-digit returns in the following years especially since it appears that it has a moat against others in the generative AI space. The only question at this stage is whether its shares will be able to continue to appreciate further in the next few quarters.</p><p>My optimistic DCF model that was published in September showed that Palantir’s fair value is $16.05 per share, which is already below the current market price. However, it’s important to understand that Palantir never truly traded at its fair value, but it didn’t stop its shares from appreciating further as the market backed its growth story and helped to propel the shares higher. As we enter the new of AI, Palantir is looking to become one of the most important companies in the field, which could more than justify its premium valuation at the moment.</p><p>If we look at Seeking Alpha’s Quant system, we’ll see that Palantir has a grade of ‘D-‘ for valuation, but on all the other metrics it has a score of ‘B+’ and higher. This indicates that the company’s current valuation is indeed the only main concern when deciding whether to invest in the company. Despite this concern, I believe that the company would be able to keep the momentum going in the following quarters, which could help Palantir’s shares to grow as was the case in the past.</p><p>Let’s not forget that the latest increase of revenue guidance for FY23 to between $2.216 - $2.220 billion, above the previous consensus of $2.21 billion, indicates that the company is likely once again generate strong returns in Q4 which could result in another round of stock appreciation as was the case in recent weeks. At the same time, a spike in upward revisions by the street along with a price target of $25 per share by some major firms shows that Palantir is likely to retain its momentum for the next few months at the very least.</p><p>That’s why as the AI adoption enters a new stage, I decided to stick with my investment in the company and not unwind Palantir from my portfolio. The upcoming S&amp;P 500 inclusion, the signing of new contracts, and the realization of all the growth opportunities at a limited cost are likely to continue to outweigh the valuation concerns in the following quarters.</p><h2 id=\"id_3799474467\">The Bottom Line</h2><p>There are reasons to believe that the growth opportunities will continue to outweigh the valuation and other concerns, which should help Palantir’s shares retain their momentum.
