Noob question, let's say I invest $2k today with half in

Probably nothing, since both will be penny stocks in 10 years

You shouldn't go 50/50. They're two different stocks. Apple pays a dividend, and Tesla is a growth stock with a lot of baggage right now. I would just invest the whole $2,000 in to Apple, and let it grow and set the dividends to reinvest. It's a much safer choice than Tesla. And also note, that $2,000 isn't much to invest. Even if you get a return of 3% a year, you will lose out to inflation and other factors. You should position yourself to invest in to this stock, and then continue adding addition funds to this investment. For example, 200$ a month every month for the next 20 years. Then you might see a return.

Don't invest into either. You'll see loses short term and sell as a noob. Apple is probably at its highest and Tesla too soon to tell. Go for something with dividends or better yet open a business

For the first question, you can sell them at any time on a stock exchange.

Banks and investors spend billions trying to answer the second question.

Apple has nowhere to go right now, the phone market is completely saturated with thousands of identical phones right now, and unless something big changes this, Apple won't be growing at all.

I wouldn't invest in either, instead split your money between several different companies, Google, Amazon, Walmart, etc. to minimize risk to a reasonable degree

do index investing you mong

after 20 years you might have MINIMAL gains or you could lose everything. Barring either of them coming up with teleportation technology or Faster than light capabilities they have pretty much reached their zenith

this is true for apple

this is completely horseshit for tesla
as automated driving becomes widespread, tesla will explode. They are already on the front line of this technology and are one of the first to bring it to consumers, not to mention the lucrative patents they hold in the sector
