LIke a Rocket Ship

SpaceX launch in 2018
TSLA has "gone parabolic". Will it crash or reach escape velocity?
Elon Musk's SpaceX isn't his only business that's defying gravity. Tesla stock (TSLA) has taken off like a rocket ship in the past five days.
The ascent has been so rapid that Tesla shares, which jumped 20% to a closing record Monday, are now up 86% for the year—outperforming every single stock in the S&P 500, as well as bitcoin and gold. In fact, Tesla’s rise over the past five trading days marked its best five-day stretch since a rally in May 2013, when the company posted its first-ever quarterly profit.

What has driven the company to this point? The rally got a boost last week when Tesla reported making record deliveries in the fourth quarter and said it planned to deliver more cars globally in 2020.
There's a part of me that wishes I were along for the ride (the stock, that is). There's also a part that's worried about the landing.
