Planar Systems (Nasdaq: PLNR) Stock Is Our Oversold Pick of the Week

Tesla Motors Stock Price: Volatile, but a Long-Term Win

It's time to check in on one of the most volatile stocks on the market, Tesla Motors Inc. (Nasdaq: TSLA).

The Tesla Motors stock price in 2015 has ranged from a high of $223.40 to a low of $185. It's down 3.2% today (Monday, March 2) after Bank of America analysts maintained their "Underperform" rating.

One of its most dramatic plunges came after it released disappointing Q4 earnings Feb. 11. TSLA opened 9% lower Feb. 12 after it fell short on earnings per share (EPS), revenue, and vehicle deliveries.

As we've stressed at Money Morning, Tesla stock is not for conservative investors. It will be volatile. It doesn't fit in every portfolio.
