I lost $4 million in $TSLA. That loss paid for a 20x in $PLTR (September 25, 2026) Posting this again for new followers/subscribers. Every investor has big losses and big wins. What wastes time is self-pity and regret. The only useful move is to learn, then look for the next opportunity. In 2022 I lost more than US$4 million in $TSLA and took that loss in the $307–$320 range. It felt like a catastrophe. It was a blessing in disguise. That cut forced a hard lesson, and the lesson forced a bold move. Without it, I would not have made 15x in $NVDA from $15.20 or 20x in $PLTR from $8.80. A 20x from $307–$320 is about $6,000 — that is where $TSLA would have to be trading to match the same move. I did not wait for $TSLA to do that. I took the loss and got the 20x in $PLTR instead. I still hold some $TSLA as a reminder. When I shared that painful experience in public, many $TSLA bulls blocked me. They blocked someone who admitted a real loss, then later showed how he turned the table. That reaction revealed the uglier side of human nature: people often prefer a comfortable story to an honest one. At the time, $10,000–$20,000 price targets were treated as destiny. Maybe those prices come one day. Comfort is not the same thing as truth.If you never learn from your own mistakes, you never improve. Opportunities show up every month and every year. The difference is whether you can use them. I definitely like Tesla as a company and as a stock. Don’t get me wrong — I own more shares than most TSLA bulls, and I drive two Teslas. In short, take the loss when you see other better opportunities. Learn from the mistakes you make. Then move on!
