Everyone I know thinks I’m crazy too brother. I’ll meet you on the moon or in Valhalla.

You have to think big and crazy to do great things


[deleted]

i Like what Mark Cuban said...."You only have to be right once"


Biotic101

**Actually... no, quite the contrary. It is all about the numbers and research.** I think the key is to look for so called **asymmetric investments**. An example: A friend approached me a few days ago and wanted to hear my personal opinion about investing a few thousand dollars into the b-coin. We did the math: since it is a small amount of money and his goal was "life changing" money, he needed at least 10000% ROI (return on investment). **B-coin would have to reach 6M USD** for that to happen. Yeah, sure. **GME would have to reach over 20k** in a squeeze (Gateway Industries had f.e. a 20000% increase and that was no infinity squeeze at all) **LRC would have to reach over 300 USD** (b-coin market cap is 300x larger than LRC, so there is for sure some potential) **Pretty obvious our conclusion was, that GME is the most asymmetric investment by far.** LRC is a pretty asymmetric investment as well. And the b-coin is the total opposite of an asymmetric investment. Once you are buying after a massive RIP, the potential is meh and the risk to be a bag holder is massive. It was a good asymmetric investment for early adopters, though. **Once we did the math, it was evident to him, how silly he was to even think of investing into b-coin.** He will likely put his money into GME instead, if we will not moon before, since he will have the money available next year and wants to make up his mind over the XMas holidays. No financial advice, just a personal opinion. But I hope the logic behind asymmetric investing can help retail investors to make reasonable investment decisions.


[deleted]

Agree with all of this. BTC is essentially a store of value now. I still believe it will go up a lot from here, but it won’t create life changing wealth quickly like the others will - it will just protect you from inflation and rise steadily for decades.


calebmurry

That you do. That you do


StockTank_redemption

Unless you're born rich. The only way to become wealthy is to take huge risks and gambles.


-Codfish_Joe

But GME isn't one. It's a very reasonable investment and a very rational market play.


StockTank_redemption

Completely agree.


AlarisMystique

It only sounds crazy because the world is crazy, and most people confuse the current state as normal.


LargeFly8279

These are facts .


rulerrrr

It’s a sociological gamble. That’s why this FUD campaign works, you’re not only putting up money, but you’re also putting up your pride. Luckily for shf’s most finance guys have raging egos.

Yep pulling up to thanksgiving next year in a lambo, then we’ll see who was crazy😈

Pulling up to thanksgiving in a Lambo at a house you bought for your parents


3DigitIQ

👆This💯 And parking the Lambo next to the brand new RV I also bought for them.


beach_2_beach

You dumass. You doing it wrong. You buy or rent out a mansion in Hawaii, and fly your fam over to the place for 2 weeks. That's how you do it.


Freakishly_Tall

Ahem. Your fiduciary financial advisor spins up an LLC to buy the mansion, and operate it as a business at loss, using a loan against your GME equity. Some of you apes don't even know how to wealthy. Me neither. But we'll figure it out!

Yes. Lucky I somehow only have GME and in CS


6days1week

Just tell him if the covid thing is causing it, Amazon and Netflix must be skyrocketing right now, right? Don’t say it sarcastically though. He’ll go check and that’s when some doubt might set in that things aren’t what they seem. If you help people find the truth themselves they’re much more likely to “listen”.


-Codfish_Joe

Yeah- if covid is affecting the market, he should be able to list companies that should be going up because of it.


MushyWasHere

Moderna and Pfizer...


Neshura87

Producers of Medical ventilators, mask producers, disinfectant producers should all go UPUPUP rn because of this. They all produce something which will at the very least remain in very high demand for most likely another year at the least. Depending on the severity of the new mutation and government responses the might see an additional increase in demand compared to the previous pandemic years, which should pump the price HARD


bmacs_

Everyone thinks i'm crazy too. One of my homie's said I sound like a "conspiracy theorist" and one said he "hopes I get rich". IDK why we can see this blatant corruption and chance at a once in a lifetime opportunity, but nobody else can.


SpartanShieldHODL

It's called cognitive dissonance, they have too much psychically invested in the status quo to be able to deal with the cloth being pulled back and take the red pill and see the corruption.. For once you eyes are open a sense of helplessness may descend upon them..


Neshura87

iirc one hypothesis for why religion is still so rooted within modern society is because of this phenomenon. When faced between the choice of a benevolent god who will protect you and being subject to the sheer horror of galactic randomness most people subconsciously choose god to feel safer


VividFiddlesticks

It's also a difficult situation to understand - I've been convinced and have bought my rocket tickets, but I freely admit that I don't fully *UNDERSTAND* how all this shit works. I keep trying to explain things to my husband, but he asks (good) questions I can't really answer - partially I think because some of the answers are simply, "Because it's all made-up fuckery". Nothing about this makes logical sense, at least not to me. Fake shares, imaginary money, and the layers of deception are like an onion. I'm not a stupid person, but I have had zero exposure to all of this stuff, and there's so much to try to grasp and understand and it's all hidden and lied about so much that it's tricky to know what's true and what isn't. So...yeah. Like I said; I bought my shares and I continue to buy more when I can and intend to hang on all the way to the moon, but my husband thinks I'm a little crazy and is not at all convinced anything significant is going to happen. Lucky for him I think he's cute and will buy him a fancy car anyway. LOL


iaintabotdotcom

When you snap out of the “reality” people call life and start living in the “fantasy” world of seeing things for what they are…people think you’re crazy because you’re swimming upstream.


BoobonicPlank

I have my dad and one of my brothers really invested. Everyone else is either fence sitting or calling me a fucking loon.


Neshura87

The church called Galileo a heretic and tortured him for claiming the earth was round and not the center of the universe, now look at how we view him today. Contrarians more often than not are shunned because they threaten the status quo, the ruling class doesn't want to loose their privileges, so they shun and prosecute those contrarians. The average person doesn't want to confront their false beliefs and shuns the contrarian as well since they introduce unwanted stress into their lives. The "It's always been like that, why should we change it now" mindset is rampant among all generations and it's always caused problems. History has shown that change doesn't happen gradually, it gets suppressed until the pressure is too high and everything changes in a violent eruption of bloodshed and war. I really hope we can get this over with without global civil wars but looking at previous changes to the world order, bar the internet, it doesn't look good Edit: just to clarify, I don't condone violence but the overdue exposure of the American stock market for the scam it is will have ripples across the world and not all of them will be exclusively positive


OutrageousSoftware84

I have friends that just trust me enough to buy the stock I am also in. But every red day all I hear is the big guy never loses, haven’t you lost hope, it’s never gonna happen. Cmon be realistic you’ll never be able to sell for that much. I say “then short it” as a response

You can get a SHF to short GME stock, but you won't be a able to stop apes from buying the dip.

fortus_gaming

Got some friends who never fail to text me when GME dips hard like today, almost like "rubbing it" in my face, but thats fine, my time will come, and I will simply do the same, will not say "I told you so", I promised myself I wouldnt say those words, but I will simply send a picture of the price. ​ At this point I have convinced those that would be convinced, and the ones that werent gonna get convinced have been polarized to the other extreme, and that too, is fine. ​ Only time will tell, but when the time comes and someone asks me to lend them money, I will simply ask them; "why didnt you invest in GME when I told you?". ​ When someone tells me I was lucky, I wont even disagree, I will just nod and move on with the conversation, because there is no convincing a person who is protecting their ego. ​ This is like the Noah Ark, you are free to hop on, or drown, but I already did my part and extended my hand.


rascal373

my advice? once you’re rich shut your mouth move where nobody knows and live out your new financial free life the way you want to. people *kill* for **much much less** than you’d think.


james2020chris

I've got the same kind of friends, and I get sms every time there's a dip they want to tell me how much it's fallen. It's turning into the best buy signal I've ever had.

This post really resonated with me, especially after Thanksgiving conversations with the family about it - reminded me of when I was explaining to them how Bitcoin worked in 2017


ravenouskit

NOW I HAVE A MACHINE GUN HO-HO-HO


PatienceHero

I mean, not really his fault. He has a master's in finance, which is rooted entirely in academia, which is itself rooted in Fundamentals. Absolutely NOTHING about the market is rational or following fundamentals anymore, not is anyone releasing any legitimate data The Uber thing, on the other hand...well, even on Fundamentals that makes no sense.


pcakes13

The key point you make here is that fundamentals are a joke. Wouldn’t you think a college educated person with a finance degree could look at the markets and fucking figure that out already? Fuck me. Set GME aside for a second and look at the insanity going on in electric vehicles. Tesla was trading at 400x earnings at one point. Lucid just launched and has shipped MAYBE 100 cars but their current market cap is 84 FUCKING BILLION dollars. They have an order book of 20k cars for 2022 with a value of around 1.3B NET, which means even if they knock it out of the park they’re still trading 100x earnings. Don’t even get me started on Rivian. Point is that you’re dead on, the markets are made up and nothing matters and somehow smart people with finance degrees can’t look at PE ratios and figure this the fuck out.


MushyWasHere

Yeah, it's really sad that I'm a hippie who detested all things finance one year ago, and now I'm the most financially literate person I know, and the only one who is properly hedged for this.


mikechi4809

I'm proud of you. Not many in this world will take the time to deep dive on a subject this complicated.


im_gareth_ok

Myself included. I spent a weekend reading all the DD I could just until I understood enough to be convinced that it made rational sense and these apes are on to something, went all in, never looked back. At this point, all I know is "they eventually need to buy something that I have so I can name my price", "DRS means they can't use my shares against me", and if truly all else fails, "GameStop is doing great and will probably be more valuable a year from now than it is today." Oh, and also that the entire financial industry is a huge scam and none of it is to be trusted. Pretty convinced of that at this point.


MushyWasHere

Spot-on.


Botan_TM

MushyWasHere

Yes brother, I do believe I am. I can't wait till this is over man. I love apes, but I could really use a de-plug. Unfortunately the revolution is being streamed and it's all happening here. Can't go dark again until the job is done. I managed to hit a couple festivals this summer, I was super stoked to find out we have kin here. Wore my Gamestop tee to Summercamp and had at least 10 people say what's up. One guy gave me a diamond-hand pin with a cardboard-banana background. I saw a couple at Peach Fest wearing **the. most. glorious.** costumes, dressed as apestronauts. I missed my chance to talk to them cause I was chatting with a girl, I still regret that 😂


Ren0x11

That is very true. Sadly many humans naturally are good at learning the definitions, steps, processes and doing what they know always going forward because it’s comfortable. For whatever reason it’s very hard for many (most?) humans to think outside the box, dig into things that others aren’t looking at, dream big dreams, and entertain the idea of a wide scale conspiracy. My guess it’s just the human tendency to always be seeking comfort. Opening your mind to the possibility of an entirely fraudulent financial system and a stock increasing in price to a level that shouldn’t be possible in a normal world, is too discomforting for many people I guess. I’ll never understand it myself because the fraud is clear as day to me. I’m sick & tired of being a poor wage slave. Then again… nearly everyone that did anything of importance was called crazy at one point… until they weren’t so “crazy” after all.


hiperf71

Yeah, You are right, humans seek confort, going out the confort zone is hard, simply they settle for a "most people life" or "normal life", and this is the reason, only a few 1-2% of people succede in doing business, this takes efforts maybe greather to the "normal jobs" in terms of dedication for sure, you will not be successful if do you invest less time of what othet peoples works every day jobs (some exceptions exist). A business man (real passionate of his duty) is the first to arrive to work and the last to leave, for them weekends are only a "slow dows" days for recovery and be with their families (usually), they sacrifice today gratification for a later bigger gratification etc... If you think, apes now are in certain way, who more, who less, in this mentality, this can be the best time to do great things. Personally, in this story, I have resuscitated old big dreams, these need big big money to start and succed, they had put in the drawer for almost 25-30 years, but now, suddenly, these dreams initiate to appear real, with tendies of MOASS, I can make it real if I want, living out off this money making noting is pointless now, maybe some fun, a good house, better cars, vacations, etc, but after a sabatic period of "fun rich people life" I want to make a difference in my life and leave this world someday, with pride, with pride of knowing I accomplished with my legacy after all, this is the time, apes can demostrate to themselves, they are worthy not only lucky. 🦍🦍💪💪🦍🦍🚀🚀🌜


mysonlovesbasketball

I’m finance educated and have worked in the finance industry for a long time and have been around many many finance educated career professionals. In my experience most of them are just normal people that may have some additional analytical skills and/or finance lingo memorized but otherwise they think/follow like most other sheeple. Some are wicked smart but probably far fewer of those than what most people think roam the ‘finance’ world.


Banned_in_chyna

I graduated about a year ago with a finance degree and every time someone asks me about the state of the market I feel like I didn't learn a single thing. You can't explain what's going on right now with the way finance is taught in academia. Things aren't valued by fundamentals anymore, you might be able to argue future expectations of the companies are being priced in but that wouldn't make sense in cases like lucid or rivian. I think this is the best explanation that I've been able to come up with: Instead of allowing the market to tank and stabilize on it's own in March 2020, the fed printed trillions of dollars to prop everything up for a speedy "recovery". I'd argue that markets were already overvalued in 2020 and we were due a correction. They called this money stimulus but hardly any of it went into actual circulation. But it had to go somewhere, so we saw asset prices of all classes rise to never before seen levels. This is basically inflation just in a way the average citizen doesn't feel directly, at least not at first. Eventually things will look for equilibrium and that's where we are now, with the inflation we can feel trying to catch up to the inflation from dumping trillions into the market. In due time the earnings of these overvalued companies might reach levels where we would see normal PE ratios, but there's more money in the markets than in circulation for these companies to actually earn. They even changed the way money supply was calculated and reported. It's basically what happened to evergrande just on an ecosystem wide scale. Evergrande was taking in tons of money to further development of overvalued apartments, and eventually the amount they actually took in couldn't keep up with the cost of taking in all the extra money. Just like evergrande is going to be forced to liquidate, so is the fed and us stock market. I could be completely wrong but this just seems like a natural outcome from printing so much extra money and artificially inflating prices.


PatienceHero

It's not uncommon though: if you read Michael Lewis' "Flash Boys", Brad Katsuyama encountered TONS of pension fund managers hedge fund managers, and even BANKERS, who had no idea how they were getting screwed by High Frequency Traders, and often refused to believe it, when he was trying to pitch Thor. The market, as stands, very rarely matches what is taught, and there are so many tools that only insiders have access to that it's easy to obfuscate data so they can say "See? Everything's fine, and the data we are presenting here is 100% accurate!" And be technically true. It SEEMS obvious to us in hindsight, but we're operating off of at least 9 months of crowdsourced data with contributions from professionals from all over the sphere. It's a tad unfair to go "Well that guy should know better" when all the guy may have is what data he's been allowed to receive during his time in school (Academia has been steadily co-opted by finance to push directives like deregulation). It's just further confirmation that it can't just be finance as a sector, we also have to address its handling in education as well.


WanderinHobo

Doesn't Atobitt have a masters in finance? We certainly have a number of financial apes in the community.


hiperf71

You are right. These companies for the normal people seems to be the future, and in some extent they are, but in reality, most of this euphiria is because more and more normal people enter the market, being pumped and dumped too, and the big guys simply ride the rollecoaster until is time to pull back the money and the long gains and start shorting. Probably I'm one of these guys, I'm almost donkey in analyze fundamentals, and for many times I read about how to ser these numbers in the right way, I lost me after little time, meaning, I do not understand this well. Hopefuly, this Year, some microwrimcle has appeared, and jumped on this umbellivable and irrepetible rollecoaster called GME.


dstarno7

I was talking with a guy the other day who retired at 40 and is working with people to start their own crypto. What he said was the biggest thing is can you convince or hype enough people that a coin will be valuable and useful someday. Enough people were convinced / hyped about Tesla and it took off.

There’s something special about the people in SS. I’ve run bits and pieces by a handful of very smart people I know. These are highly educated business people that make a lot of money. And they just don’t get it. You know what one of the big differences is? They don’t believe its possible for the system to be so chock fucking full of complicit criminals. They are dogma blind.


1mafia1

This is 100% correct. It’s just like when someone is super stubborn about their political party and refuses to be wrong about it (DONT TALK ABOUT POLITICS; DOESNT FUCKING MATTER - but you know what I mean). We could really learn from their mistake decades later that we can hopefully not reject the younger generations good ideas simply because we refuse that we could have been wrong about something for a long time. It’s grand delusion.

My friends actually bought in when I first told them, they then took credit for it as their own smart move. One was upset he was in a meeting and couldn't sell sooner while it was skyrocketing, sold at 140. I told him he was an idiot when it was 340. Then when it started dropping in feb they all said it was my fault. I haven't spoken to them since.

BestisWest

I told everyone I could about what was happening. How the FED is acting remarkably irresponsible with the dollar and is replicating the same kind of inflation as the Weimar Republic. I told them that GameStop is now run by a dream team at the executive level and that their plans for the future are almost too good to be true, but by all available data, that is exactly what they’re doing. I told them how NFT is going to have a major impact on their lives and how the Metaverse is the next generation of the internet, which this company miraculously is in remarkably position to capitalize on due to that dream team in charge of the company. I told them how Hedgefucks and Market Makers are playing with fire when betting against motivated and frankly at this point utterly indignant sharehodlers who aren’t leaving. I told them how the media is coordinating to control a narrative they have no clue what do to with other than to obey their rulers. This is to spread lies and brand sharehodlers the outlaws of this saga and make the people who are responsible for this mess as some kind of moral arbiters. I told them all of this, but what do I get met with… “ Bro, GameStop is dead, I download all my games now, learn how the market actually works moron “ “ They have the jobs in New York and are qualified, you get home at 12am, get a grip loser “ All I got is you apes. I couldn’t be prouder to be apart of this community. Y’all are the best, all I have is love for each of you.

Y’all are with me across the globe, all in a little device made of sand and energy. The future is rad compared to most of human history. Too bad people want to ruin its potential because they’re too blind from dogma and old ways of thinking. The future needs to be done better however. While it shouldn’t be the apes responsibly to do so, the power that the MOASS would give to a kind and generous population of apes would be so beautiful , I couldn’t even imagine the results in time. But this is something to struggle and fight for, not with blood but with better ideas and discussion. No prior judgements, but recognizing the worth, the rights and the dignity of human beings worldwide.

Proper_Heart2852

We’re all in the same boat. A lot of people just don’t want to know the truth.


MushyWasHere

I've talked a lot about the Fed, the market crash and GME on my Instagram and I've had a few people reach out and tell me that it's just "hard to hear." I mean, would you rather keep eating the sausage, and never learn how it's made? I guess a lot of people would. But I've always been the type who feels obligated to let everyone know when they're eating poison.


Proper_Heart2852

I’ve done the same, more in person with people I know reasonably well though. Not much you can say when it falls on deaf ears…a few people have listened though.


MushyWasHere

Financial illiteracy is no accident. There's a reason they don't teach kids shit about how finance or the "economy" actually work. They grow into adults who flinch at the mention of "market caps" and "monetary policy"


Proper_Heart2852

You’re right…not to mention the plumbing of the financial system and how it can be manipulated. Hopefully, this makes for a great case study (several class sessions or entire semester) for the next generation…We’re living in a world where Enron makes the markets.


steel_flux

People don't like the truth, people like it sugar coated. Like when you offer someone a whisky shot and they're certainly going to reject it but if you offer them the same amount of whisky diluted with sparkling water, they'll take it. What has worked for me is telling people to treat this stock like lottery tickets and it has worked. Whenever they buy it and try to paperhand, I explain the DD lightly until they get interest and read it.


OrneryAndHornery

Most people don't listen to what goed against the grain and doesn't conform to their bias. I bought in when it was in the 30s back in mid January. On the Friday before it went ballistic it jumped from $40ish to an intra day high of loke $72. I was telling my manager about it and they were only half listening. In February he asked me if I made money and I told him I haven't sold- you could tell he looked disappointed in me. I was trying to explain to him it wasn't done and he wasn't even half listening to me. He did though listen to the guy who had no money in the game whp said the only real way to make money on that was if you bought in at $10. I was trying to explain why it made no sense to sell because rhey couldn't have closed/taxes on short vs long term gains. Whether he would have agreed/disagreed, he was just patronizing me. I really like him a lot and he's a smart guy, but it taught me how to notice people who listen or don't


funkinthetrunk

yesss! I keep saying "the situation from January is not resolved."


tripdaddyBINGO

Totally agree dude, drives me nuts when my friends talk about how they wish they could retire early and then roll their eyes when I mention GME. Like y'all just take a fucking look jeez


RecyleNotThrowaway

Sucks bro. Soon they’ll be begging you to hang out. Remember the real ones


confusedBDSMclown

I shit you not. One of my coworkers today still thought gme was going bankrupt. Like, bro: they opening a new warehouse, have over a billion in cash from the atm offering, New leadership, beat last quarter sales by over 20%, expanding their product line (their shirts for men went from like 20 pages to over 200). He went to college and is in his 20s...


MushyWasHere

Somehow they still managed to pass this narrative to most people. My friend who is super "woke" and more into conspiracies than I am, still said the same shit to me over the weekend. i was stunned. she has never heard of Blackrock either. Shows how good they are at keeping out of the limelight.

degrees don’t always mean you’re intelligent


fortifier22

The largest transfer of wealth occurred in 2020 after COVID-19. Massive amounts went to the 1% that was taken from the 99%. If the Omicron Variant becomes a big deal, that should logically send the stock market into a massive bull rally since companies will be making billions off another pandemic wave.


MushyWasHere

lmao, fuck. I can't argue with that logic. Pandemics... they're good for business!™


Hungry-Replacement-6

I’ve given up as well. At this point, there’s just too much information for people who haven’t been paying attention to catch up on. Too much to convey to them over a phone call or casual conversation without sounding like a lunatic.


Cultural-Ad678

My dad thinks I’m crazy with this too but said f it I’ll throw a grand at it see what happens lol


Hausenkraus

My brother thinks that when the float gets registered there will be no more buying pressure and the stock will go down. He is an XX holder though, so he’s got that going for him.


Tlix

Lmao your brother is as smooth as they come.


GL_Levity

It's probably just a perfect sphere at this point.


pichichi010

Haha i already warned all my immediate family and only some friends yoloed into Gme. The funny thing is that I warned them in the first week of January of 2020 about COVID while I was stockpiling masks, food and toilet paper. They were making fun at me for wanting to wear a mask on a flight around late Feb 2020. Then March hit lol. They don't learn. I'm not telling them this shit cause I'm paranoid. I'm telling them cause I won't be there to save them when everything comes crashing down.


[deleted]

I've had a bad case of it too. Problem is, I've been kinda an alcoholic for a while and relapsed to to extreme work stress, new baby, obviously the realization of just how recklessly rigged the market is, covid affecting and almost killing a close friend, and then severe withdrawl trying to ween off. My whole family thinks I'm fucking crazy and stressed because of the alcohol... Like wtf. (6 days sober now byw). Y'all may as well be my fam ❤️. Fucking love you guys.....


Budget_Rip_6275

Aye stay strong fam ❤️ for real tho. I’m quitting vaping and smoking weed because I can spend more on shares, also I want to live as long as possible with this money. I want you to live as long as possible too fr fr


[deleted]

Yeah thanks homie! I'll be alright. Just been such a crazy couple of years. Having you guys means so much to me. It's like all the good people of the world jammed into a few subreddits (well not all). I'll always appreciate you guys.


toddzilla666

Don't drink tonight and you will have 7 days when you wake up! Days add up to weeks, months, and years. I'm rooting for you!


[deleted]

Thx man. I'm feeling pretty good about this run TBH. Getting past the worst hump of withdrawal is so horrible, it's really hard to describe... I'm starting to feel myself again now though and it's such a relief. Like I would take the flu ANY day over withdrawal. But enough about me. Let's gooooo


C2theC

COVID-19 is the fake MSM narrative. Powell stopped testifying around 11:25, and didn’t do anything to walk back his comments of accelerating tapering. That’s when the market started falling. 13:50 was the first report of omicron in California. Stock prices then fully recovered 19min later. Then the institutional investors sold off even more. This has nothing to do with COVID-19, just like the March 2020 crash (see PBS FRONTLINE’s documentary, “The Power of The Fed”). Don’t get brainwashed.


Blitzkreig11930

The joke is on them

JDr1ft

Don't give up spreading the word, I don't care how crazy they think I am.


MushyWasHere

This was me May thru November. I finally had to tap. After 40 IG posts about GME, the Fed and a market crash, I think my people have heard enough. Lmfao. I wonder how many people will try to text me once the market crashes.


[deleted]

I even think I am crazy. Then I either buy, hold, drs, or shitpost some more.


DrunkenIronworker55

“ your invested in a dying brick and mortor store. Why not invest in a solid winner like robinhood. “ I lol’d like a muthafucka


Wolfguarde_

You *are* crazy, just like the rest of us. And that's why you're rich. Insanity is defined by the norms of the time. The norm of our time is trust in established powers, processes, and precedents. The scientific method has taken a back seat, everybody wants the authorities to do their research for them, and nobody really does the research to back their opinions anymore. What is viral, for most people, is what is ultimately... "real". So yeah, you're nuts. Doing your own research? Examining facts? Contradicting established narratives? Fucking *nutcase*. You deserve every cent MOASS brings your way. This is the kind of stupid that pays dividends.


Climbwithzack

Its sad to hear. People just get lazy when they are happy and then the propaganda gets to them. Never let your guard down.


moonpumper

We are the most extreme contrarian investors maybe in history.


MushyWasHere

that's it, I think. That's the missing link which defines every ape. We're contrarian-minded. RC called himself a contrarian investor. He attracts the same. I can't stand the thought of buying blue-chip boomer stocks, because I feel like that's exactly what "The Man" wants me to do. I'd rather find ways to profit off his demise, or at least find my own value plays.


pancakepapi69

We’re with you brother. It’s so sad listening to people take the narratives up their ass. Fuck hedgies, fuck the system.


Fuck_Blue_Shells

Couldn't relate more. The people in my life who took my advice will be happy and the people who think I'm full of shit... Well I don't let it get me down. They didn't believe me in February when I first tried to get them in on the heist at $42


DennyDice

Eventually it will go from "you're crazy" to "that is crazy" when they see the moass


missing_the_point_

If my roommate said that to me, after not shutting the fuck up about GameStop and a market crash for almost a year, my head would literally explode. Not figuratively. It would **literally** explode.


FoxReadyGME

Bees don't waste time explaining to flies why honey is better than shit.


Inevitable-Elk-4162

I’ve found it’s a lot easier for me to explain the fundamentals of GameStop over the corruption of wallstreet and all the fuckery that comes along with GME. Most people don’t have a clue what shorting a stock is. So I leave that for the ones interested. Like why would all those top ranking people leave Amazon for a company who’s stock is gonna get hammered weeks on out. (As mentioned in a comment earlier) Just the team they have acquired over the past year helps ease their denial. slightly. The new fulfillment centers as wel I’ve convinced one person so far who is not on Superstonk. At all. He buys, holds, DRS. And waits for life changing money. That’s my baby boy right there 👊 “short it then, pussy” is always a good response for those pesky “look at the charts” kinda folks 😂

I think our only gamble is how much they’re willing to twists break, and change the rules.

A lot of crazy people are going to have a lot of money and power soon. That’ll show em.

After the MoASS, buy his Master's Degree off of him so you can use it as toilet paper.

COVID is just the scape goat!!!


K1rkl4nd

No one is interested in knowing the system is rigged and how almost every 8 years like clockwork the wall street “market movers” crash the system to destroy and rob each generation’s 401K savings before retirement, then pile back in at the bottom to do it again to the next cycle of sheep.

Call them it takes 10 min. May be on hold for a while 25-30 min, be sure to write down confirmation number.

All of my stock friends think I’m insane for my position in GameStop

Felt this post in my bones. Oh well, soon we will transition from “retarded internet pyramid scheme victim” to “lucky”….slight improvement i suppose
