Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

While retail investors are buying up Tesla shares, insiders at the company are selling.

That's a quote from an article on the topic. Does that sound in any way ominous to you?

It's poor sales *from last year Q1 compared to 2023 Q1.

We're not even looking at 2024 Q2-4 or 2025 Q1 yet. Telsa might be completely underwater at this point.

I mean, if Jim Cramer is telling me to buy something, I'm gonna sell it. If he's telling me to sell, I'm gonna buy more. Never seen a stock guy wrong as often as him.

Saw a yt thing last night that over the past three months Tesla execs have sold over 175k shares too

so this bad use of oxygen psychopath has the nerve to ask his employees, who always exploits, and have a high chance of losing their job soon, to keep the investment on the swasticar so they have double the risk: their salary and their investment.

And all for personal gain.... why I'm not surprised? and why is he still wasting precious oxygen?

It surprises me that people that get stock rewards in their company don't instantly sell them. Yes, you pay more in taxes because of capital gains, but you can avoid that by waiting a year to sell if you really want to.

I work for a tech company that offers ESPPs and gives stocks as bonuses. I sell those instantly and just take the guaranteed profit and turn them into index funds. There is just no way in hell I'm linking my employment AND my stock portfolio to a single company.

COULD I potentially make more by waiting? Sure, but that is not a risk I ever want to take. I'm not gonna be holding my companies stock and have it tank in value AND lose my job at the same time.

Invest in stocks or index funds that are unrelated to your field of work. That's my advice anyway. You should never have all your money sitting in a single companies stock anyway.

yes I do the same, I never understood people's "loyalty" of holding.

Is just double risk.
