    Shares of Tesla rose approximately 10% this week

    Clickbait headlines. A few investors threw lip service but money talks and it seems most of them don’t care too much.

            Well yes, but it’s more about what it doesn’t say than what it does. If “investors” in general we’re all so upset they would pull out their investments and the price would crash. But that’s not happening.

              Why must someone upset at potential losses turn them into actual losses? You can’t think of an alternative, like pushing articles on some mouthpiece publication, maybe Gizmodo? Nope, if anyone cared they’d all show it by losing money and influence, obviously

                Why must someone upset at potential losses turn them into actual losses?

                …if they were concerned about “actual losses”, they would be selling their shares so they would not turn into actual losses. But they don’t care, and they know no one else does either, beyond complaining about it on Twitter.

                  Sorry, I forgot that when you want to sell a bunch of stocks everyone just buys them all at your preferred high price, and then the price magically goes down after
