How to read this

Quotes are short excerpts from Stocks with Josh's public YouTube videos, attributed to the speaker and linked to the timestamp. “Close that day” is TSLA's split-adjusted closing price on the day the video was published (New York time); if markets were closed that day, the last close before it. If the stock has split since a quote, the card shows the price it traded at that day and, beneath it, the split-adjusted close the % change uses. “Since” compares that close with the latest close on 2026-10-28. It is a price observation, not the creator's realized return, and not investment advice. How the price change is calculated. Next to it we show SPY, the ETF tracking the S&P 500, over the same two dates — so a move can be read against the market rather than on its own: why we compare with SPY. Each quote also carries a label — Named as a pick, Risk acknowledged, Reducing — describing what kind of statement it was: see what the labels mean.

Coverage: 235 of 235 videos published since 2025-09-10 covered; 827 Tesla mentions found. Prices as of 2026-10-28.
