Why Tesla Stock Was Slammed on Friday

Shares of Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) sank on Friday, declining as much as 10.8% at one point during the trading day. The electric-car maker stock's beating was likely driven primarily by a tough day in the market for many stocks -- particularly for growth stocks like Tesla. The stock's downward trend has largely been tied to investors' skittishness toward highly valued growth stocks.
