You know what, I don't even believe it myself because Tesla in fact is not even half of the portfolio of 50+ stocks I have accumulated over the last 10 years.
Here is how I got there:
1) Go earn money, do not depend on stock trading to make a living you will be broke.
2) Don't spend your money on useless stuff, you can't accumulate wealth by giving away your money, keep your money- Right now I don't have a car because I don't need it, plus if I had a car I'd pay $350 a month for parking, $100 for insurance and $50 a month for gasoline. That's $6000 a year equivalent to 550 GE stock today that would be worth $15k by end of 2022 after complete turnaround.
3)If you save money then you have money to invest, if you don't have money to invest all you can do is talk technical analysis and fundamental analysis in Wazua. For example when Boeing hit $100per/share last year, I didn't need any analysis to invest, less than 6 months Boeing is at $200+ on it's way to $400 by 2023 but if I didn't have the cash, I'd have been talking balance sheet etc.
3) DO NOT BUY stock in companies you DO NOT BELIEVE IN just because there is a rally, rally is a short term things focus on 10 year+ investment.
4) Invest long term. when I started investing I had projected that it would take me 7 year to hit $1 million but I needed 21% return to get there. Luck + Do not care attitude + Good Judgement worked wonders for me.
5) My portfolio with hit $100 million by 2044, that is 24 years from now, am I delusional? maybe someone might interpret so but math tells me otherwise, S&P 100 year return is about 8%, I am aggressive enough to beat S&P.
6) Don't get too attached with money and material stuff, it doesn't make anyone happier than they're already. The day I sold $720k+ of Tesla stock my wife and I was having a fight about me not cleaning after myself, it didn't matter how much we had.
7) Before you start investing work on personal relationship with money, if you have poor relationship with money, you will never accumulate wealth.
