2/ Regarding A. I'm long $TSLA, believe it isn't a bubble and the naysayers are shortsighted and wrong.

Only time will tell about A, but B we already know - $TSLA joined at an ATH of $695 then fell - but it's now at $763, so it ADDED value, not detracted.

BUT..

3/ But the question of whether $TSLA brings risk to the S&P is WRONG by itself. The whole idea of an INDEX FUND like S&P500 is to be passive, and it's THE ACTIVE MANAGER DECISIONS that introduce risk

Being profitable and large TSLA should have been added ON Q2 EARNINGS.

4/ Before we analyze implications, consider this:

DataTrek Research estimates that if on Jan 1 2020 an investor had put $5 of every $100 invested in an S&P 500 ETF into $TSLA, their return by Dec 11 2020 would've increased by roughly 31%!

5/ But that's hypothetical bc $TSLA didn't qualify for S&P at Jan 2020, and 5% is more than its share today.

Tesla DID qualify on Q2 earnings but was admitted after Q3. Comparing 12/21 price ($695) to 9/21 price ($449) is wrong bc by 9/21 price fell after news of not including.
