    Lot's of luck involved. For example, TSLA went nowhere from mid 2013 to mid 2020.

    True, the friend who kept hassling me to buy Tesla had bought several thousand shares at $50 in 2018 (I think). He is a very happy guy today...

    I remember seeing this post on WSB about a guy who had bought I think it was 11 $420 call options that expired in Jan 21 for $8 when TSLA was trading at around $200 or so pre split. The price went to $420 and he sold them for like $70 or $80 each and said he was going to buy a Tesla with his profits. Had he held to expiration he would've been a multi millionaire.

    There's a point when holding doesn't serve its purpose, unless you want to make your children's children's children rich. All I care for is my life and my kid's education and down-payment for a house. I'm almost there, as soon as Tsla hits 2k.

    Soaring Rents Eat Americans' Wage Increases... And Then Some

    US headline inflation exceeded 7% in 2021. But rent increases put the Consumer Price Index to shame, soaring an average of 13.5%. And within that already-brutally-high average, there were some absolutely astounding outliers. Phoenix rents soared 25.3%, followed by Tampa, Miami, Orlando, Las Vegas, and Austin, all of which exceeded 20%.
