      Stock value can take a very long time to adjust. Once consumers and institutions buy a stock, they can’t sell it easily. It’s either a loss to sell it if they bought at a peak so they wait it out or if it’s up and they want out, selling needs to be spread out to limit capital gains tax. If it’s an institution with a large holding, it will cause the stock to drop before they’re out.

        Mostly agree, but. As far as I understand it, for TSLA the majority of the bull run is due to relatively small investors riding the hype. Big stakes are indeed rare to change hands, and mostly outside the marketplaces. Should the small guys really change their mind on the stocks, they (or at least the first wave) will easily dump it, and that will move the market by a lot. We can probably see it in YTD results, but still there is no dumping, in my opinion. Just a correction, so far.
        Personally would not buy now, though )
