If you want to guess the price a few months out, though, you can just buy options. If you think Tesla will be $35 by mid-January, you could buy a $30 call option for something like $2 a contract. If the stock hits $35 before expiration, you'll sell the option for $500 a contract. The downside is $2, the upside is $500.

I don't see any options chains for TSLA yet, though, so I am just making the first number up. But that's the idea behind options -- if you want to speculate instead of have equity in the company, buy or sell options. Much cheaper.
