Image source: Getty Images Teslas are appealing options for environmentally-conscious drivers and those who like to keep up with the latest tech, but they have a big drawback: those insurance premiums. The cars contain a lot of rare components that are costly to replace, and there aren't a lot of repair shops that know how to do the work. Some traditional insurance companies charge Tesla owners an arm and a leg for coverage, so the idea of getting a more affordable policy from Tesla itself seems

Online auction site eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY) was one of the earliest e-commerce players, founded in 1995. eBay grew rapidly for years, but its fortunes eventually diverged from the rest of the e-commerce industry. While Amazon continued to rack up ever-increasing sales, eBay's revenue has barely budged since the company spun off PayPal in 2015. eBay is a profitable company, but less merchandise is moving through its platform today compared to 2015.

There are a lot of factors that go into the decision of when to start claiming Social Security. Practically every claiming age has its plusses and minuses. Claim as soon as possible -- age 62 for most -- to receive your monthly benefit for longer. Wait as long as possible -- age 70 or later -- to get the biggest check. Many find waiting until full retirement age to be a solid compromise.

In some ways, the idea of buying different stocks according to the generation you belong to might seem silly. After all, a winner on the stock market is a winner, but there are some key differences between the way generations invest. The most important one is their time horizon. Younger investors naturally have a longer time horizon than older investors, which generally manifests itself in greater risk tolerance.
