With respect to the original post given the way Tesla stock has been minimizing itself the past week or so there may be no need to look for other ways to minimize exposure.
LMOPX has been an odd little fund often found cruising around at or near the top of its category or the very bottom. Maybe it's one of those funds that one plays the timing game with but that's not for me. I did own it when it first came out however…
@hank, who said "To the extent he was genuinely concerned about stalking / tracking public figures I’d have to say I also agree with the concern." I might tend to agree if not for the fact that those flights/tracking were publicaly available informa…
