There's a lot of expected growth priced into Tesla right now. That's pure momentum and FOMO driving that train.
If you sell your Apple position and buy into Tesla at this point and the damn thing goes down 30% from where it's at right now is that cool with you?
Apple is in the general ballpark of being reasonably priced right now. Tesla for example has a p/e ratio of 1560 Apple has a p/e ratio of 39. The S&P is 40. Amazon is 92. Google is 34 Facebook is 30. It's actually undervalued right now. Netflix is 82.
Just ask yourself buying right now if you lost more than half on a crash you cool with riding that out? The people that had all that great success with Tesla are more than likely holding and not buying right now. Even bulls like Financial Education aren't really looking to buy.
I actually agree with you that selling off apple for Tesla is not a great move. That said, I don't think looking at p/e ratio alone is enough to evaluate tesla. There is a big possibility that in the future elon consolidates all of his companies (spaceX, neuralink, etc) into a bigger holding company like alphabet. Elon even referred to this recently as a good idea on twitter. If that happens, it's likely that current tesla shareholders will have their shares converted to shares of the holding company. This is imo reflected in the current price, and it's a big reason why I'm not selling any of my shares for the next few years.
