The hidden danger in Tesla’s split

Good morning!

The markets are split in the early going but I suspect all will be green by the time you read this if tech can bring it. If not, don’t be put off.

The markets are gone like a rocket if Russia backs off and/or the Fed makes nice with inflation. That, in turn, creates a unique problem, especially for senior investors. (Watch my take with the fabulous Stuart Varney)

Here’s my playbook.

1 – Be in to win or you won’t … win

Most investors don’t plan to fail but fail because they don’t plan. Which is why many are sitting uncomfortably late in life, desperately fearing the market’s next move but knowing they’ve got to be in.

It’s a double whammy of the worst kind!

The reality is that most investors are going to live a lot longer than they think which is why staying in the game if at all possible is key.

Speaking of which, I’ll be sharing details on a recent recommendation that could double within the next 5 years later this morning in this week’s One Bar Ahead™ weekly update. So, keep an eye on your email if you’re a part of the Family. (And click here if you’d like to join it)

2 – Hidden danger in Tesla’s split

It’s the oldest game in the book. Take a really expensive stock and announce a split that’ll make it more “affordable” for retail investors. Then the big money will drop it hard when most think that a split is “baked in.” (Read)

The math is the math. If you own 1% of Tesla before the split, you still own 1% after the split.
