Sell Tesla Motors Inc (TSLA) In May?

Page 2 of 2

As a final tip of the hat to Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA)’s potential, Consumer Reports released a May 9 statement declaring its Model S the best car — ever. With a score of 99 out of 100, the publication hinted at the future of vehicles when it stated that the Model S outrated all other vehicles “even though it’s an electric car. In fact, it does so because it is electric.”

Sell in May? I don’t think so.
“Sold too soon” is a common sob story among investors, and I’m not going to let Tesla be one for me. Valuation is nearly impossible for a company with the growth potential of Tesla, and I’m sticking to my long-term investing rules when it comes to this stock. Barring an event of epic proportions (and a good quarter doesn’t qualify), I hold on to my investments for a minimum two-year period, for better or for worse.

Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA)’s stock may tumble in Q2 — or it may soar. Regardless, I’m in it to win it and believe that Tesla has what it takes to keep electrifying my own earnings for years to come.
