Tesla's (TSLA) stock price is a source of constant attention, surging a ridiculous 600% since the beginning of 2013.

Even Musk has weighed in, saying at a news conference last month: "I think our stock price is high right now to be totally honest." Of course, he added that in the long term the stock is a "good one."
It's too soon to say whether Musk is right in the bigger picture but Wall Street proved him correct in the short term. Tesla retreated 11% in September as investors shied away from some of the risker momentum plays that were so successful last year.
