TESLA STOCK INCREASED OVER 700% IN 2021 – HOW TO PICK THE NEXT TESLA

Tesla shares gained 743% in 2020 and rallied another 20% this year through January 14, 2021.  If in January 2020 you invested $10,000 in Tesla, you finished the year with ~$84,000!  Enough to buy any Tesla model!

Elon Musk, CEO Tesla, accomplished what many said was impossible and made the electric car business mainstream.  Thanks to Musk, every major car manufacturer has rapidly added Electric Vehicles (EVs) to their line up and numerous new manufacturers have launched. Biden’s win in the U. S. pushes federal dollars into the EVs industry, making it more attractive. Therefore, the EVs industry is a great place to identify more winners!

FIRST STEP – BUILD A WATCH LIST

As a Tesla shareholder, I spent years studying the EVs industry and utilized that knowledge to build a watch list.  I analyzed, sorted, and prioritized by ultimately picking four potential companies for further study

STOCK EVALUATION FACTORS

EVALUATION OF NIO

I utilize four subscription websites (Investor’s Business Daily, Trade-Response, Morningstar, and Motley Fool. I pay ~$1,700 annual fees for these four websites. 

The good news you can find similar information for free by going to NIO’s webpage https://www.nio.com and using Yahoo Finance. 

https://finance.yahoo.com

NIO’s stock achieved > 300% gains in the past six months, and the company announced it would launch a new luxury sedan called the ET7 that will travel 625 miles on a single charge. This would be the longest distance achieved by any EV manufacturer if accurate. This new vehicle and battery have not been produced, and much technical analysis doubt this range is achievable nor affordable.

IN CONCLUSION IS NIO’s STOCK GOING: UP; DOWN; OR SIDEWAYS?

All stocks can go up, down, or sideways.  The ONLY way to make money is to select MORE stocks that go up in price. Rule #1: Buy stocks that are going up!  DUH. I have chosen the wrong stocks more times than I can count.  Rule #2 – You will violate Rule #1, so have a strategy to exit a losing trade!  I typically sell a losing trade when I lose eight percent.  

I cannot show you all the data required to review any stock in a 1,000-word blog. Besides studying a stock’s fundamentals and finances, I read four to six hours each day, studying the market.  I read numerous articles on the EV industry and provided a few links to reports in the appendix.

Nio is scheduled to launch the new 620 miles range battery in 2022.  The company’s strategy is to manufacture cars where the batteries are interchangeable between models—allowing a customer who purchases a lower mile range battery (275 miles) to upgrade to a more extended mile battery (400 miles) at almost any time.  Nio is also targeting expanding its Power Swap Station installations up to 500 sites in China. These are battery swapping stations where you can drive in, tap a few buttons, and the machine will change the battery in your car for a new power unit.

Below is my list of some pros and cons of investing in NIO.  I do NOT recommend stocks in this blog.  I am using NIO as an example of the hours of reading and analyzes necessary before investing money.  You must do the work to analyze a stock, ETF, Bitcoin, etc., before spending your hard-earned money. Or you depend on LUCK! 

LUCK IS NEVER A WINNING STRATEGY!
