Today, I want to talk about what an investment in TSLA could look like over the next 5 years and how my biggest fear for the stock has been taken care of.  But first, a very brief recap of Tesla’s past. Amid economic uncertainty, TSLA IPOed in June of 2010 on the NASDAQ. The stock price jumped over 40 percent in its first day of trading to close at $23.89, that valued the company at $2 billion. It was the first initial public offering by an American automaker since Ford's debut in 1956. While the market showed strong enthusiasm for the stock, many concerns were raised about the long-term viability of the company since Tesla at the time had a limited operating history, a long history of losses, liquidity issues, expensive battery technology and pending competition from traditional automakers. As a result, the stock was frequently the subject of high short interest, a usual predictor of lower performance. The important question to be answered was were the short-sellers correct in their bearish sentiment, or was the stock bound to rise for years to come?  That was ten years ago and Tesla is still as much of a growth company now as they were then. Let me repeat that, Tesla is growth company. There is no denying this fact. If you do chose to make the jump and invest in TSLA thereby taking part in The Tesla Opportunity, just remember that the money should not be the only reason for making the investment. Remember that the company is working to further the mission of accelerating the entire world to sustainable energy usage and transport. As an investor, be a proponent of the mission and share the Tesla story with the world in your own way to feel success in being a part of this journey. After all, the company exists for the betterment of all of our lives be that through the quality and innovation of their products or just their boldness to believe that our future can, must, and will be sustainable.  Be a Tesla shareholder who sees potential in this company in a monetary sense, but more so in a way that is to support changing the world in a positive way. Here’s to those who will be holding their stock for many years down the road and here’s to Tesla for making all of this possible.  Join me on this journey of The Tesla Opportunity as we follow Tesla from who they are to who they will become and how lower costs, efficient factories and autonomy could make Tesla one of the most valuable businesses in the world.
