Compared to sp500
TSLA blew your FA out of the water.
The point is yes there will be a FA that outperforms here and there, just like individual stocks. But overall they won't.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

I would just store it in a S&P 500 fund.

Dave often recommends this for certain situations.

Whenever I turn on the radio to the Dave Ramsey opening I'm expecting to hear "Now introducing, for the very first time..."
If you don't care why would you comment?

That can (and probably should) be broken up into three distinct statements, every one of them can stand on its own merits.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

That's exactly why it's baby step 1.  Dave gives the example of not being able to fix your car therefore not being able to get to work...
