People Are So Angry They are Actually Investing Money Knowing They Will Lose It

Come the hell on now.

More fun than screwing it to a hooker.


Take That You Bastards, Now ....

I've mostly been watching from the sidelines, but after Robinhood and others shut down trading I may join the fun. I've done well since the pandemic crash. I can throw a few thousand in, lose it and not care. It would be worth it to me.

I was looking at Nokia for a cheap 5G play and hearing they might be a target sort of forced me to take a very small position. I don't usually keep much cash in my account. Only into Nokia for a few hundred bucks (70 shares).

This is a strength in numbers thing, though. There are people with like half a share of Gamestop getting in and it all helps build that snowball.

Nah man the idiot investor buys shitty companies. People do more research buying a toaster than buying a company stock.

THE VERY BEST you will ever do buying ANY stock and just holding onto it long term is break even with inflation. Most likely with brokerage fees and capital gains tax you
ll end up losing your ass.

As the value in dollars of a stock goes up as more money is pumped into the stock market, the value of those dollars goes down proportionally to how much of this "easy money" was pumped into the market..

In other words,(this is not real, just an example) say you bought ATT twenty years ago and it went up 20 dollars a share, from 100 to 120

How much money did you make?

Well, the answer is you made 20 bucks a share or 20 percent net gain in USD's, but since inflation over the same period was 28 percent, you actually LOST buying power with your "20 percent gain". There ARE exceptions where stocks rise faster than inflation, but when they come around the common man is manipulated into selling those stocks off by periodic mass sell offs that scares them into thinking the stock is tanking.


SMH.
This is beyond the dumbest thing I have ever heard (today).

AT&T (T) was about $16.00/share 20 years ago. Today it is about $32.00/share.

That's not too bad, right?

Oh. But, wait.

There have been three stock splits (3:1),(2:1),(2:1).

So, 10 shares at $16.00 initial = $160.00

10 shares split x3 to 30 share, then x2 to 60 shares, and finally x2 to 120 shares.

Today 120 shares x $32.00 = $3840.00

#3840.00 is a little more than you are suggesting. Hehe


Except for one thing, your numbers are made up bullshit. ADJUSTED FOR SPLITS, it went up from a high of a bit over 20 dollars in 2000 to a present value of 30 dollars.

Since inflation outpaced that gain by a measurable though not very big degree, and you had to pay capital gains tax every year on your gains, you got ASSRAPED if you invested in ATT

There was a time way back when when things made financial sense.

You could earn 5% annually by saving money.

Or you could be slightly risky and earn an honest 10% in the market.

A CEO made 6 or 8 times above what his average employee earned.

Today it's different.

You lose money by saving it through inflation.

You can earn vast profits in the markets stomping peoples brains in.

A CEO makes hundreds of times more than his average employee.

DO you actually think anyone is stupid enough to buy that horseshit? Serious, Mr Cohen, you're not as intellectually superior as you like to think.



An over 2300 percent gain?


Come on now, you need to come up for air.

You are ignoring the fact that you would have many more shares.

Yes. I did exactly this. I bought 4 shares 2 days ago. Cash, none of that margin crap. 300 a share. I don't care if I get it back. Money won't be worth the paper it's printed on soon enough, anyway. If I'm going down, I'm doing what I can to take the system down with me. My vote didn't count this year, but my money will.

GET ON THE SILVER train my friends,

ITS THE WAY

This is the way.

SILVER IS REAL MONEY

GET REAL

Owners cashing out to buy 2nd homes and yachts will not go well for them when the SEC comes a knocking.

But what if they sold solely to make legit acquisitions of small companies with cutting edge related (or not) tech, intellectual properties, think tank talent recruitment, etc.
This could morph into a entirely new form of crowdfunding that lifts struggling, fading small business concerns up to the moon.
Soon they would have assets and sales that begins to justify the meme made price valuations.

Investors would HODL for the long term and eventually get dividend income stream.
The key to legality of this would perhaps hinge on assuring that no small biz could lobby -bribe- the Wallstreet watcher crowdfund to get special selection.

Selection of the small biz recipient for biz building would come organically from meme traction posted by the anon investor pool.

2021 Memefunding is born.

I'm not ignoring anything.

You are.

And it's not by accident. Who do you think you are fooling?


I'll give you a hint, not even the dumbest RUBE is going to believe they could have invested 160 dollars twenty years ago in a company that isnt particularly been doing that well, and realize a 2300 percent gain.

It just doesnt work that way

note the words "Adjusted for splits" on the chart, smart guy

Thats the idea

Just as they did with currency trading: stricter and stricter retail trading rules, until the regular guy gets pushed out and only has market maker houses where trades never reach the floor.

You also ignored Dividends.

A $10,000 investment in AT&T stock at its IPO in 1984 would be worth $58,000 today.
The share price of AT&T has underperformed the S&P 500 since the early 2000s.
Its dividend yield, currently 7.2%, is a compensating factor.
If dividends were reinvested, that return for $10,000 invested in 1984 would be worth more than $300,000 today.

I bought silver fool. Even physical and not a ETF. IM GOOD LIKE FAT PEOPLE WITH A FULL FRIDGE.

So Biden intervened to protect the little people? Haha.

ANy commodity is.

If you want to invest in something that is BOUND to go up in value, try COPPER or LEAD. I guarantee it will not only hold it's value it will only go up..

ANd I mean in the physical buckets of scrap copper or pile of old batteries way , not paper. There was actually a point not long ago when they had to stop making copper pennies and made them of copper coated zinc, because a hundred pennies were worth 120

No actually, they are in the mix though. This is the big unifying event. Love of money is the root of all evil, but money itself isn't.

First sentence I was thinking this guy doesn't have a clue, then I kept reading.



I'm gonna laugh my ass off in a decade when GameStop and SpaceX are flying off to alpha centauri on a joint venture to seek out more tendies. The future could be glorious, the simulation is getting good.

Wanna guess how much a 1964 quarter made of 90% silver is worth?

You don't have to lose money; close enough of your position when the stock pumps to cover your interest, and let the rest ride.

I didnt ignore anything. Do you even know what a dividend is?
IF YOU'RE LUCKY it will cover your capital gains tax, but it wont, because at 7 percent as per your site), it's less than half the tax you have to pay.





I read your link and it's bullshit.
There's a lot of that going around, and thats how suckers get raped.

$5.95

This, don’t let the media divide Americans along political lines like they did during the first Occupy. They know the “divide and conquer” game VERY WELL!

I dont know the price of silver right now, but I know it was over ten bucks not long ago. Some coins are worth more than their value in metal too.

We should do this constantly to sink the hedge funds. These people are destructive parasite predators who have no place in a healthy economy - betting on destruction.

Just like a lot of people made those bets right before 9/11. People got rich off of 9/11.

FUCK these people

LMAO I posted this thread, walked away to hardwire a dash cam in my van, come back and it's pinned with 8 pages

Those TLC shows about preppers did a lot to undermine a really viable strategy -- buying a lifetime supply of a wide variety of durable goods and having stocks of less durable goods that you rotate in is a great way to diversify, to a point. It also gives flexibility to avoid purchases when prices are high...why pay a dollar for a can of beans today when they'll be half that in a few months and I've got enough to last a few years? Why pay a dollar a round for 9mm when my old stock still fires 100% of the time and should last through the next generation of my family if stored properly. Instead of busting ass for the man in a bad economy, you might want to sell some of those durable goods at a huge margin, or just live off them. You've got to get creative when stashing cash stops working.
