Stock market investments now or later and who?

For what it's worth, I'm enjoying reading the comments from @Will Carter and @drkelly, as said, they are the main two responding. I'm in the same boat as @JSJJ388 as I don't have the time to dedicate to learning/experimenting with it right now. Just from reading, I feel like I've learned something to help guide me when I do decide to dive a little deeper, so I say thanks, and keep it up!

What? I’m just saying I’m not really taking this trade because I don’t have any means of taking it. I only have futures accounts so can’t trade stocks.

So since you nailed the TSLA move, why don't you have an account where you can trade stocks?

Cause I know my role.

Watching individual stocks takes me away from what makes me money on a daily basis. The ES sp500 futures.

I love trading. Unfortunately doing more and more trading rarely makes you more and more money. It's just more and more distraction from the day job. Like I said, I only saw that TSLA print because i didn't delete it off my chart after we talked about it the other week. It is gone now though.

From what you’ve told us your real stock market opinion is to buy and hold popular ETF’s. Not buy and sell individual stocks. And I agree with that opinion for the most part. Just buy at opportune times. Not just pile money in your 401k all willy nilly.

About 50% of my E-trade account is individual stocks. The other 50% is in VOO and QQQ. 100% of my 401k is in an S&P500 index fund. I consider myself an 'investor' not a 'trader', because I typically hold stocks for months, not hours or days.

No price calls. Didn't happen.

But through some figuring and measuring I'd be a buyer at around 262.00 ...

The "around 262.00" happened on Monday at 259.16. As I'm typing this we hit the 1:1 in "post" market trading. Stop is at break even now as any sellers that want to fight should be out well before 263.80 if there's a pull back. Next stop 317.38.

I’d reckon that Tesla position stopped out too.

Well I reckoned wrong. Looks like we got buyers defending the buy at 259.16. Didn’t hit in aftermarket trading. Let’s see if they can hold them off this morning.

Edit: And if I saw this price action on a 5 min chart (pictured is the daily chart ES) I'd call this a bear trap and be looking to get long on the first hint of bulls showing up...
