    Just keep buying. I give it about 30 days for the rally.

    Or wait until Trump is done firing everybody causing the recession.

    Personally I'm not doing anything until April (to see what the plan is with Canadian and Mexican tariffs). Those are the two sets of tariffs that will be absolutely catastrophic if they actually go into effect. Or we might get another 30 day extension of this nonsense. But I want some certainty on those two before I put more money into the market. Trump is basically holding an gun to the entire economy with those tariffs and I want some certainty on what's happening before I start putting more money into the market.

    IRA question

    I have 3 IRAs and contributing to all three. The problem is the limit I can contribute.

    simple - with my current boss. He matches up to 3% so I'm doing 3 % to take advantage of his money
    SEP - this was with my old boss and guaranteed not to go below 4% interest and over the past 10+ years not go above it either
    roth - I started 25+ years ago

    My question is more so between the roth and sep. Should I be focusing on one more than the other and if so which one?

    Roth. There is a 7-8k annual limit depending on your age that you can contribute into it but think of it as you’re buying low. Any gains is clear money. I wouldn’t take a 4% guarantee unless you’re just months from retirement

    Tesla board members, executive sell off over $100 million of stock in recent weeks

    As Tesla stock has fallen in recent weeks, members of the board and an executive at Elon Musk's company have been selling off millions of dollars in stock, according to filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

    Together, four top officers at the company have offloaded over $100 million in shares since early February.

    Last week, longtime Musk ally James Murdoch -- the estranged son of Fox boss Rupert Murdoch and a board member since 2017 -- became the latest to do so, exercising a stock option and selling shares worth approximately $13 million, according to an SEC filing. The sale took place on March 10, coinciding with the stock's largest single-day decline in five years.

    According to one filing, the shares were sold "to cover the exercise price relating to the exercise of stock options to purchase 531,787 shares, which are scheduled to expire in 2025."

    Elon Musk's brother, Kimbal Musk, who also sits on the board, unloaded 75,000 shares worth approximately $27 million last month, according to a filing.

    The chairman of the board, Robyn Denholm, has offloaded more than $75 million dollars worth of shares in two transactions in the past five weeks, federal filings show. The selloffs made by Denholm came as part of a predetermined sales plan.

    A number of board members and executives made similar moves in November and December. But the recent sales come at a tumultuous time for Tesla, with the stock falling nearly 50% from a peak in mid-December. The company's shares have suffered most of those losses since President Donald Trump took office and Musk began his controversial governmental cost-cutting efforts as the head of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency.

    "Whenever insiders, including directors, are selling shares, it's not a positive signal," Jay Ritter, a professor of finance at the University of Florida, told ABC News.

    However, Ritter added, an exception applies to the predetermined sales plan adopted by Denholm in July 2024, which marks a routine effort to avoid the perception an officer unloaded shares based on inside information.

    "Filing a plan months ago to sell some of those shares over time is common," Ritter said.

    Tesla did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.

    Seth Goldstein, an analyst at research firm Morningstar who studies the electric vehicle industry, said some of the stock sales may owe to personal financial choices made by individual officers.

    "While a sale doesn't necessarily mean an executive or board member feels negatively
    about a company's outlook, it could mean they think the stock is at a fair price or even overvalued," Goldstein said.

    The share selloffs made by board members and executives totaled about $118 million, but the transactions often came after the individuals exercised stock options, the costs of which totaled about $16 million. The officers ended up with a profit of just over $100 million.

    ABC News previously reported on concerns from shareholders and pension funds, some of whom have called on Musk to turn his attention back from slashing government spending to running his car company.

    Tesla Chief Financial officer Vaibhav Taneja also sold off shares totaling more than $5 million over recent weeks. Some of those transactions came as part of predetermined sales plans, but a transaction earlier this month did not stem from a scheduled sale.

    I can lend you a testicle so we can both have at least one and then you can build up the courage to hit buy on TSLA.
