    The key is getting out at the right time, and that is weighed massively against small investors. The big investors and institions control the market and can move quickly while small investors cannot.

    Tesla is not doing well - look at its falling sales. It’s a risky stock to hold. The AI companies are also highly risky stocks to hold.

    That doesn’t mean don’t hold them - all anyone is saying really is that these are high risk investments, and at some point they are going to probably crash because it’s a bubble.

    That doesn’t necessarily mean “don’t invest”. It does certainly mean be prepared to get out fast and also only use money you can afford to lose when investing with such high risk stocks.

      If you look at Tesla chart, or any other tech stock chart, you can see that nobody would have lost money if they didnt sell. They are all going up long term. Tesla is up 100% in three years, 240% in five years. Everybody who sold during that time made the wrong choice, unless they invested in something that went up more.

      Just dont sell, ever, until you retire. This is super hard to do but its what the charts show is actually best.
