I never went into Tesla, I was 15 years too late. The valuation of the company is bizarre. It has the valuation of the biggest manufacturers combined, yet selling faaaar less than the bigger players and their sales are in decline.
I think that Tesla will be sold in the future to some kind of infrastructure company that will buy it to take over Tesla's infrastructure. Unless... which seems unlikely... Tesla starts to produce good cars.

It’s always the same. “This time it’s different” is what I keep hearing from people. Some of my more speculative growth stock plays I sold in January before the tariffs came in and thank god I got lucky there… but as far as ETFs, best to just hold and DCA on the way down, at bottom, and on the way up.
If Trump completely destroys the economy, and US democracy fully collapses which is the main argument for why this time it’s different, I have bigger things to worry about than my investment portfolio.
I’ve seen too many people trying to time things, selling on the way down and then failing to buy early enough on the way up because of fears it’s a “dead cat bounce”, etc, and ending up behind where they started. It doesn’t look fun.

Many of the bigger players have been overvalued for several years now. I have, for example, been waiting in several years for Microsoft to slip to a more decent valuation. In hindsight I have missed out on a lot of opportunities. I shouldn't have sold Blizzard. I am a low-risk buyer and holder that rarely sells even if the market goes down and my gut tells me to sell, I keep it. Mainly because I am low-risk so I know that I will time my investments poorly. So that's one thing but going back to where I started, I think the correction will continue because Microsoft and the other bigger players are still valued really high and I can understand buying in steady ships when there is a storm, which might keep the stock floating. But eventually I expect them do go down further once the storm becomes more predictable and traders shift toward other alternatives.
In the mean time, I am fairly clueless what to do. I will probably continue to sit and watch and continue to miss out on a lot of opportunities. If I would suggest myself anything, it would probably be to invest in companies with stable revenues because over time the market will go up again. I do not think Trump will be able to destroy the country during his presidency. He will continue to hurt it but it would require much more time and less opposition. It will be interesting to see what the democrats will do when they take over in 2029.
