Why do you celebrate hedgefunds?

the same people who celebrate stealing millions of Americans retirement.

they are the embodiment of evil. They are corrupt

I'm not "celebrating" anyone. I'm utterly ambiguous about hedge funds. I don't like or dislike them, they're just an entity that exist that I don't pay attention to.

They didn't steal a dime of my retirement, and my retirement accounts have a ton (less by the year as I get older and they adjust, but still plenty) in the equities markets. I've made steady gains year after year and am sitting on well over $1m in my combined retirement accounts and I'm 43 years old.

People like @brackis1 and @rob mafia are well versed enough in trading to actually do it to earn a living. I'm not, and thus any money I'm putting directly into specific stocks to "trade" the market is essentially entertainment money for me. Not much different than going to a casino (at least psychologically). But that doesn't mean a know-nothing like me can't enjoy what the market offers by having exposure in other ways. And I'm not special. Literally anyone can dollar cost average into the markets and over an extended period of time, they will see impressive gains as long as they're diversified. And there are a zillion vehicles to do it with these days that give you instant diversification.

You want to bang this drum of "It's not fair" and I'm not telling you that's right or wrong, but that it's irrelevant. Don't try to be an amateur and beat professionals at a game they hold all the advantages in, it's idiotic. Instead, play the game on your own terms and don't try to get rich quick. The Americans you think are having their retirements "stolen" have to be dumb as fucking rocks to jump in on something like this GME stunt with money that matters to them.
 
TPCS pick also on fire. The TPCS pro research group thinks this is only the beginning. Same with SMSI. We will see. I'm in a good amount for TPCS and SMSI.

On the otherhand my biotech stocks I've been following, but never committed to are popping. ATOS, CNSP, EQ. Shoulda, coulda, woulda. Only my OBLN is doing well. Started a small position in SNCA, but we will see.
 
Damn had a tiny FMAC position and it ripped 30% at the bell on a rumor trying to fiugure out wtf it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I talk about retirements stolen, I mean like in collapses like Around 2008. Millions of Americans learned that their 401Ks which they assumed would be safe, were gone.

wealth isn’t destroyed, it’s just transferred.

the hedgefunds took their money and celebrated. And the regular Americans were told “it’s all legal”.

no wonder Wall Street and their friends in media, hollywood, academia, and the Democratic Party pushed identity politics so hard starting in 2011.

occupy Wall Street scared the shit out of them. One day, sooner or later, the people are coming to punish the wicked.

and moron, the 2008 collapse was due to banks robosigning shitty mortgages and etc. not hedge funds.

occupy was primarily against "the 1%"

Occupy was against the 1% and the system itself. How can you say that hedge funds were not also a target of the protest? They were

I understand the banks caused it. My concern was on peoples retirement accounts being obliterated. It’s a crime. Lives ruined.

and who took the peoples money when their 401Ks got nuked? That’s right.

I remember the news interviews with Americans who had to start over, and were already in their 60s and realized that they would never be able to retire.

to you, “it’s just the market”. to me, that’s a crime

The market losing half it's value was awesome for anyone with plenty of working years left as it allowed us being able to scale into the market at dirt cheap prices and ride this huge wave up to where it is now. If people were nearing retirement age and had big exposure to the stock market with their 401k, that's on them for being stupid with their money.

This isn't complicated and you don't need to be a financial whiz to benefit from the markets. I'm not trying to be a dick, but you're just lost on this front. They literally have mutual funds where the ONLY thing a person has to do is pick a target retirement year. That's it. The fund does everything else. It gives you instant diversity. It's weighted heavily toward stocks when you're younger so that if a crash happens like in 2008 you don't mind because you're far from retirement and can buy the market on sale. As you age, the funds slowly shift away from stocks and into fixed income investments with no risk. They are basically "can't lose" investment vehicles.

Scream at the wall about the evil Democrats or whatever if you want. Myself and millions of others will calmly reap the benefits of the stock market and enjoy happy and well funded retirements because of it while never worrying what those evil hedge funds are or are not doing.

you're such an idiot that you think buying gamestop stock is somehow sticking it to the "evil" hedge funds... that you blame the 2008 financial crisis on, despite the fact that they had ~nothing to do with it. you not only are delusional enough to think that hedge funds were scared of occupy (lolwut?), but don't even know what the (retarded) movement even was about or who they targeted.

don't let facts get in the way of your delusions - not that they've done so, yet.

Imagine being so deranged you think Republicans have no friends on Wall Street.

<Dany07>
 
Kinda like the look of EV spac ticker THCB with Microvast. Waiting for under $20 before buying.

Hindenberg has took a massive shot at Chamath which could hurt his SPAC's. Just an FYI if you are holding IPOD, IPOE, IPOF etc..

Wall St cares about money. Party affiliation likely barely registers with the overwhelming majority of anyone of real importance on Wall St. To think otherwise is pure delusion.
 
Dayum I hadn't even looked at GME after early this morning, thought it was gonna stall there in the high 80's at least for a couple days.

Nooooooope!

Fiddy bucks, who's buying LMAO???

Republican policy overwhelming favors Wall Streeters though. Financial deregulation, low taxes on income, coporations, capital gains, estate, etc.

Trump in particular used the stock market constantly as a barometer for his own success. In fact, he seemed more concerned about how covid was impacting the stock market than his own people.
 
APSG IN THE PLACE TO BE. MAKE SOME NOOOOOOOIIIISSSE
Something going crazy after hrs.
 
Hmmm APSG is Solera a Data and AI co for autos and other shit.
Kinda cool but damn that brief blip of 14 went away quick.
