I think we need to be careful with tickers that have many derivative products (Tesla, Palantir, etc. T_T)

I heard this from a YouTuber, so please just use it as a reference.

Taking an underlying stock like Tesla or Palantir as an example, stocks with many related derivative products—such as 2x/3x leverage, inverse, covered calls, etc.—are said to have massive trading volumes almost every single day. And because they are heavily held by retail investors, they are easy targets for market manipulators to play around with and shake out, which is why the volatility is said to be incredibly high.

Since all of these stocks are currently highly valued, it doesn't matter much for existing long-term investors, but those looking to make a new entry or start investing should be careful~

When individual stocks and indices start falling like this, I think it's better to switch to index funds at the bottom and invest long-term with peace of mind. This is something I realized after getting bruised, beaten, and losing money for years, so my goal is to turn this decline into an opportunity and keep investing until I become a grandmother...

Let's all stay healthy and invest long-term together T_T Cheer up!

There are also many such derivatives for blue-chip stocks. It's not just Tesla and Palantir. Even indices have 3x and inverse 3x ones.

I remember reading on here that someone said they view tickers with a lot of derivatives as promising. Did they say they pick those for day trading? Anyway, I remember them saying they view the underlying stock favorably.

Today is not the day to sell Tesla.
Selling at a time like this and going into the index is a loss (this is my personal opinion).
If you still have some time left until retirement, hold on.
It seems better to sell when it goes up a bit and buy the index.
The index hasn't dropped much.
(But I'm not an expert).

I agree. Even if you sell, you should sell when it's going up; today is not the day to sell.

If you're going to sell, it might be better to sell quickly. Because it wouldn't be strange at all for the stock of an unprofitable company like Tesla to drop below $100 in the long run.

If you sell on a day like today, you're a real idiot. As long as 318 doesn't break, a rebound up to 331 is possible. After that, whether you cut your losses or whatever, decide for yourself.

It's sitting right on 320.
