Playing the Long Game With Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA)

$962.86!!!

That’s what Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) was trading at on February 4, 2020.

I couldn’t believe it.

When I first started writing about Tesla, back before it was even a public company, I never could’ve imagined that the stock would steadily climb more than 4,700% within such a short amount of time.

Of course, some would argue that nine years is not a short amount of time. But a CAGR of roughly 50% is still pretty damn impressive.

Truth is, very few investors will ever pull off even close to that.

Still, in the world of finance, we oftentimes look for the moonshots, the “fast money.”

After all, who doesn’t want to lock in double- and triple-digit gains in a matter of months, especially when we know it’s possible?

Certainly I set aside a portion of my portfolio for those quick trading opportunities that can deliver big gains inside a small window of time. Everyone should, to be honest.

After all, why wouldn’t you want to make some quick money?

No-Brainer Trades: Locking in 26 Double-Digit Gains — Fast!

To be honest, I’m not a big fan of trading stocks for fast money.

I prefer the concept of investing.

Getting a stake in a company you believe in and trust will do well over the long term is really what investing is supposed to be about.

Tesla is the perfect example.

When I first started covering Tesla, I fully believed it could be something amazing — the next Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) or the next Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT).

Management was top-notch, the product was about as disruptive as you can get, and for me, I just loved the idea of being able to support a company that was making personal transportation less harmful for the environment.

Call me a treehugger if you want, but given what we know about the environmental, social, and political burdens petroleum presents, to continue relying on an outdated internal combustion engine is little more than an exercise in Luddism.

So needless to say, because I chose to invest in something that I believed was important and could make me a lot of money, I bought some Tesla shares shortly after it went public… this, despite years of people telling me how stupid I was for doing so.

The shorts especially seemed to get off on the idea of such an amazing company going belly up. I’ll still never understand that.

Nonetheless, my investment in Tesla is a perfect example of why investing alongside your values, and over the long term, is a good way to make some decent coin.

That being said, while my Tesla shares have been gaining considerable value over the past nine years or so, I’ve also been taking advantage of dozens of opportunities to make some quick money along the way by locking in on some no-brainer trades.

In fact, last year, I pulled in 26 double-digit gains just by identifying — and taking full advantage of — these types of trades. Check it out…

  1. High Tide, Inc. (CSE: HITI) — 18.92%
  2. High Tide, Inc. (CSE: HITI) — 18.92% (second trade)
  3. Aurora Cannabis (NYSE: ACB) — 20.87%
  4. Corbus Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CRBP) — 14.08%
  5. Scorpio Bulkers (NASDAQ: SALT) — 10.14%
  6. Scorpio Bulkers (NASDAQ: SALT) — 19.29% (second trade)
  7. Leap Therapeutics (NASDAQ: LEAP) — 12.12%
  8. Bri-Chem Corp. (TSX: BRY) — 13.33%
  9. GSRX Industries (OTCBB: GSRX) — 10.34%
  10. Navidea Biopharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: NAVB) — 12.68%
  11. resTORbio (NASDAQ: TORC) — 11.02%
  12. resTORbio (NASDAQ: TORC) — 13.09% (second trade)
  13. Luckin Coffee (NASDAQ: LK) — 17.32%
  14. Luckin Coffee (NASDAQ: LK) — 12.48% (second trade)
  15. United States 3x Oil Fund (NYSE: USOU) — 14.71%
  16. Sorrento Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SRNE) — 12.10%
  17. Sorrento Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SRNE) — 34.44% (second trade)
  18. United States 3x Short Oil Fund (NYSE: USOD) — 19.93%
  19. Cara Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CARA) — 12.46%
  20. Agile Therapeutics (NASDAQ: AGRX) — 12.5%
  21. Uniqure NV (NASDAQ: QURE) — 10.81%
  22. Enphase Energy (NASDAQ: ENPH) — 11.19%
  23. Enphase Energy (NASDAQ: ENPH) — 11.47%
  24. OVID Therapeutics (NASDAQ: OVID) — 14.64%
  25. Insperity, Inc. (NASDAQ: NSP) — 20.4%
  26. OpGen (NASDAQ: OPGN) — 35.14%

That averages out to one double-digit gain every two weeks!

And I wasn’t the only one who took advantage of these fast-paced trades either.

Members of my Weekly Score trading service also took full advantage of these opportunities — and made a bunch of cash along the way.

Now it’s usually at this point in an editorial where I tell you to “click here” to get more information. But I don’t have any extra information to offer you.

I don’t have some special formula or algorithm I use to pick these winning trades.

It’s no “big secret.”

It’s really little more than paying attention to the news, monitoring insider transactions, and good old fashioned due diligence.

It isn’t rocket science. In fact, you don’t even need me to do it for you.

If you have the time, you can do it yourself.

Of course, I realize most folks don’t have the time to monitor all this stuff and do all the due diligence necessary to make a ton of cash from these types of fast-paced trades. But I do. And that’s why I started my trading service, the Weekly Score, which last year, delivered 26 double-digit winners, with only five losers.

That’s a success rate of more than 83%!

I don’t care what anybody says, that’s exceptional. And if you’re looking to add some quick trading opportunities to your wealth creation strategy — which I suggest you do — I welcome you to sign up to get my next trade alert. It will be delivered to your inbox (along with a text alert to your phone) within one week.

And after that, you’ll continue to get one new trade per week.

Now it’s not cheap.

Each trade averages out to a cost of $25 per week.

But based on our track record, $25 is peanuts compared to what you can pull in on nearly every trade.

Don’t forget, these are weekly trade alerts.

Last year, more than 83% of our trades were double-digit winners.

Who else can boast such a thing?

I take great pride in that and would love for you to get a shot at some of this action, too.

So if you’d like to lock in some steady cash flow with my weekly trade alerts, click here. Once you sign up, you’ll be on my list to get my next trade alert. It could be in your inbox as soon as tomorrow.

To a new way of life and a new generation of wealth…
