I guess at 70, I might be considered an older dog.

I spent my life in semiconductors, watching the triumvirate at Intel, Gates, Jobs, etc., etc.

But Musk may be the smartest fellow I have witnessed.

Time will tell but I'd never bet against him.

And THAT is the rub as they say. Its way easy to hate yourself for missing out, but its worse to not sleep.

I'd worry that Tesla has some [url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/jimcollins/2020/09/01/volvos-polestar-2-outsold-teslas-model-3-in-sweden-and-norway-in-august/?sh=69324af45899]smart competitors as in this article about Volvo[/url]. Link from Sept 2020.
I'd worry that cars have always been a low margin business with lots of competition and unstable market shares.
Among other worries, lithium supplies, chips etc.

Plus Apple has a nice Div, can't really lose much, unless the bottom falls out.

I've missed out on a lot... on the other hand my other non-stock investments have done way better than most of the stocks I've bought... and they've been safer and more fun than an abstract number on my Ameritrade account.
