TSLA - Tesla Motors - Purchase

I purchased TSLA motors purely on the leadership of Elon Musk.  I wish I could invest in Space X, but this is a token to help with that and I do believe he has a knack for startups.  This one will be big.  I usually avoid the hype stocks, but this one recently dropped some so I thought I would get in.

FB - Facebook - Purchase

I stayed far away from the FB IPO, but this fits in how I buy IPOs.  I like them a few month after they IPO and have gone down.  If I believe in them and I think they have a profitable model, I buy.  This fits that.
