The day trading phenomenon is just so sad. My mom has a few friends whose sons fell for the meme and just sit at home all day making these bets. It always ends up with them losing all their "progress" and, in a very real sense, wasting huge tracts of their lives staring at random numbers being generated. Nothing built, nothing gained, nothing grown. All that remains is regret. That existence is undeniably cushy but psychologically hellish. Down to the countryside with them.

Day traders be like: "I don't have a gambling addiction"

I woke up to half a dozen “sky is falling” RH notifications, saw my portfolio down 10%, shrugged, and went on with my day. I imagine it would be pretty stressful if I actually had money or, god forbid, open call options. Hooray for not having any real stake in the capital market, let it all burn 🔥

Kinda wild how many Americans’ retirement plans and long term financial stability are completely dependent on the whims of the market tho, genuinely disgusting how siding with the capitalists is presented as the only option if you want to be allowed to retire. Like yeah dude let me just give you my money and tie my future to the well being of the market with the promise that maybe I can get a tiny drop of that stolen surplus in the future. If the market isn’t crashing while I’m trying to retire of course. Glad an entire generation doesn’t have a brutal case of Stockholm syndrome because of it

Idk I learned on TikTok you just buy something and then sell it off when it goes higher. Seems pretty straightforward??

line go down, time to disrupt everything and give rich people more money

If this is the inevitable AI bubble popping it happened pretty fast. Also I'm very pro stock market crashes lol

Just wait for line to go back up??

Just learn to play the slots right, ez
