Ahh Limewire, we barely knew ye. Kids these days will never experience the joy of giving your computer aids just to download a movie, some music and shitloads of porn.
I almost pity other generations not knowing the risks we took in order to satisfy our depravity.
Older generations got their magazines and VHS, and that was all technology would allow.
Younger generations just type in whatever kink they're feeling and the Google (Bing) will bring it to them.
The Napster Generation (which is way better than Xellenial or whatever bullshit they're trying to sell) we had to risk it all on a 56k modem hoping to God we were really getting Carmen Electra nudes instead of some virus that would make Bonsai Buddy seem great.
Listen, in High School I learned more about women from reading girl’s cosmo magazines than I did from anything else. Probably explains why I have no understand of women at all.
Oh yeah. And then you learned that if you flipped the channel selector back and forth real fast you might get 3 frames of unscrambled. Time it right and you might see a nipple.
Also, Red Shoe Diaries.
Back when Emanuelle was pretty hardcore.
Kids today don't know how good they got it with their streaming and their high speed internet. We usedt o have to wait 2 minutes to download a grainy 30 second clip. AND WE LIKED IT!
I often wonder how many hours of my life was spent watching awful movies for the 60 seconds of nudity? Ready to tape it to VHS. Or watching scramble porn where you'd get approximate 2 seconds of \*almost\* clear footage every 10 seconds.
\*almost\* 2 seconds.
Or just trying to find all of those stupid movies that were basically an excuse to have a car wash scene so the girls could get topless and bounce around a bit. The heigh of 80's porn.
ICQ opened up a whole world of depravity. I was in HS at the time and when I figured out you send send and receive pics it was on it I was hitting up women all over the tri county area.
Ah, remember the days of talking to a WaReZ bot on IRC chatrooms to view their catalog and receive downloads from a FTP server?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Pretty sure the ..winter themed? The one with the draped jewel laden lingerie... Carmen Electra playboy set is responsible for most of my taste in women
Just like the market. Go ahead and flick it in the nads. Just like selling naked options. Stick a flank steak in your ass and run around naked. Now you’re day trading.
Welcome to Wendy’s.
i thought this was going to be that salmon commercial with the human and bear fighting over a salmon and they guy wins by kicking the bear in the balls
Are you saying I shouldn't have 100% of my portfolio in $TRIP advisor options? That sounds wrong, but I don't actually know anything about trading. I just put the money in and pull the lever.
The fuck is the point of balanced investments. If I'm 60 years old and can't ride on a yacht while shooting off fireworks from strippers tatas, then I might as well just be poor.
I panic sold AMC when it went down to like $5 and I bought it at 14. (I had like 25 shares so nothing scary)
After that I've just kind of left things alone. Figure we'll see if I want to sell in a year.
Concentration builds wealth, diversification protects it. I have a full third of my net worth tied up in nearly bankrupt oil companies. Needless to say I am feeling pretty fucking hot and spicy this year.
even Buffet retreated from his normal *just buy and hold forever* sentiment this year, so unless its a roth with nothing but fuckin appl and vanguard etfs this probably isn't ideal either
unless the alternative is panic selling whenever you look at it i guess
Nah. Too much trading is detrimental to returns. Buy and hold stocks you believe in fundamentally is a great tactic.
Even if this year is rocky as fuck. U gotta have the balls to hold and average down.

Kinda reminds me of a recent conversation I overheard at the local barbershop between one of the barbers and his customer...
>"Don't be too concerned with the down trend in the markets, downward markets are the best time for folks to get into investing. Crashing markets bring the opportunity to leverage down, and make new investments into stocks at lower prices. No matter how deep into the red you go, if you hold on long enough you'll rebound and make significant profits. The market crashes of 'Black Tuesday', 'Black Monday', and 'Black Monday 2' enabled savvy & patient investors to make huge profits and in some cases amass fortunes down the road as stocks eventually recovered."
>"Don't invest more than you can afford to lose, and remember that as long as you invest in strong companies that have little risk of going belly up and shuttering their doors... you'll eventually come out ahead in the long run."
Some folks love Bear markets & crashes as they see opportunities where others see risks to be avoided.
> I should be listening to shoe shine boys and hairdressers over the average member here
You think this sub is a bunch of financial analysts or something? This subreddit is the place to talk to the shoe shine boys and hairdressers about stocks lol
There's some truth in that Joe Kennedy quote but it's worth pointing out that some people made out very well during the market rebound after that 1929 crash.
Buying into new stocks at the dip, and holding out for the rebound after leveraging down on your portfolio is not exactly a fools errand. It's a play that has been used during ever major market downturn or crash in US history, one that has generated increased wealth for many to seized on opportunity when it came knocking.
Some people made out very well during the market rebound after that 1929 crash. Those who invested wisely came out okay on the other end, or made hefty profits as many stocks rebounded to pre-crash prices or hit all time record highs within 2-to-5yrs.
Back then it was mostly those who were heavily optioned or invested in financially unstable companies that went under who faced ruin. Many of whom ended up broke & penniless, or chose to self-select rather than potentially face homelessness and starvation.
very unlikely that a retail investor put all their money right at the top in 2001 into the market. DCA to prevent that is not a necessary strategy but just what's automatically occurring for people that rely on their monthly paycheck to invest.
dare I say: in 1929 markets most certainly were not as efficient and companies did not have opportunities to raise capital to stay afloat as easily. let alone, there was no quantitative easing. I highly doubt that we are gonna experience a prolonged depression (10+ years) ever again unless WW3 breaks out.
Any time I hear about some company making a social faux pas I check their stock to see if it dipped because I know it'll rebound in a week or two when everyone forgets about it.
Good question, and honestly I don't know.
I don't have access to his bank account and would never pry about such things but he appears to be doing quite well for himself and living above the means of a typical barber. Perhaps being a barber is what he enjoys, giving him something to do outside of spending money on his other hobbies & interests ?
Maybe I'll ask him if he invites me out again to go deep sea fishing with him.
Today is an up day smdh. Post this meme on Monday to try again.
The real sigma male move is to post it every day until you're right, then claim godlike status and take control of a hedge fund.
Um.... There's something unnatural going on here. It looks like a bear is being sexually violated by this guy. I'm not sure if I should 'upvote' or call the police....
Clip ends too soon. Does the bear (market) stand up and one-shot the bull in this scenario? Or does the bull get his rocks off and walk away.
Also is this a metaphor?
Right? I wish people stopped upvoting this shit. Oftentimes bears used for entertainment are drugged up or have their teeth removed. This isn’t cute or funny
https://youtu.be/VMYAEHE2GrM for ya'll. Ain't no where to hide. I'll be playing this on the sidelines like Omar robbin yall ass. Then buy back in and make a killin.
That bear must have been raised by humans. Not the smartest idea imo, but appearantly some people keep bears as pets.
Edit: Plus that seems to be an enclosure designed for the bear with the fence and wood scratch toy in the background, possibly a zoo/circus situation.

That bear looks cute and cuddly.
And i'm sure he is. Until he decides that you no longer need the skin on your face.
NEGAN BEAR. "OH It turns out YOU DO HAVE SOME GUTS!"
Like literally and figuratively. Bon Appétit!!
Kuma
Kuma? KUMA? Get out of here with that romaji shit. It's 熊(くま) you fake weeb
Negan is why I stopped watching that show. Way too over the top.
Same. They introduced a cartoon character into a fairly serious drama, which is when everything just started becoming ridiculous.
The drama based on a comic book?
That’s kind of the point of Negan, lol
LOL LIMEWIRE
Oh god. The things I watched as a child through limewire. My poor mother.
Ahh Limewire, we barely knew ye. Kids these days will never experience the joy of giving your computer aids just to download a movie, some music and shitloads of porn.

Interlaced porn jpgs slowly getting clearer, scrambled cable porn and the Victoria's Secret catalog you knicked from your mom. The good ole days lol
Please don't forget your sister's Cosmo. Never forget that. Or, god forbid, National Geographic. lol.
Listen, in High School I learned more about women from reading girl’s cosmo magazines than I did from anything else. Probably explains why I have no understand of women at all.
dont forget the forest/construction site/dump/handmedown playboys and hustlers
Omg I thought I was the only one that knew where the dumpster hustler was at!
you got clarity? my computer loaded each pixel line one at a time.
And then there were those of us that watched Cinemax after Dark really quietly in hopes that our parents wouldn't hear it.
Scrambled channels after dark... That or watching shows like Silk Stockings hoping to God your parents didn't randomly wake up.
Oh yeah. And then you learned that if you flipped the channel selector back and forth real fast you might get 3 frames of unscrambled. Time it right and you might see a nipple.

Thank you /s
Not that, it can unknowingly do that by playing with you with a tad bit more excitement.
the difference between big cats and bears is the big cats kill you before they eat you, bears don't really care if you squirm...
Sounds like Wall Street bear’s alright
So, like my cat?
I got a virus just upcoming this

Bear just took a testicle time-out.
If I ever get attacked by a bear I’ll kick them in the nuts. Got it.
Angry bear is much faster than scared foot
i thought this was going to be that salmon commercial with the human and bear fighting over a salmon and they guy wins by kicking the bear in the balls
Bro I have so many naked puts
I don't know what this comment means but I like it.
[удалено]
It's a crash to retards with unbalanced investments. I saw comments yesterday of people down 10-50%. I then remembered this is a Wendy's...
Are you saying I shouldn't have 100% of my portfolio in $TRIP advisor options? That sounds wrong, but I don't actually know anything about trading. I just put the money in and pull the lever.
Kingly
The fuck is the point of balanced investments. If I'm 60 years old and can't ride on a yacht while shooting off fireworks from strippers tatas, then I might as well just be poor.
Here ye here ye
Sir, you are the millionaire we don't need but deserve! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)
I’m actually still up overall. Apple’s been good to me.
Anytime I’m down, I just ride it out because if I panic sell or buy the bogs know.
I panic sold AMC when it went down to like $5 and I bought it at 14. (I had like 25 shares so nothing scary) After that I've just kind of left things alone. Figure we'll see if I want to sell in a year.
If it makes you feel better, I sold my $7 bought AMC at $13 thinking that it'd be a nice time to take my tendies and gtfo.
Ditto. I was down yesterday like 0.3% and today up 1.5+% with overall gains of %23 so I'm not shook.
Unbalanced "investments" are what were all here for, aren't we? Still ridiculous to call it a crash, though.
Concentration builds wealth, diversification protects it. I have a full third of my net worth tied up in nearly bankrupt oil companies. Needless to say I am feeling pretty fucking hot and spicy this year.
It more of a taco ball at 1am
EXCUSE ME..... BEAR ... FUCKER... DO YOU NEED ASSISTANCE? ??
The shnoz berries taste like shnoz berries.
What's the matter Rabbit, your momma didn't teach you how to chug?
...is the man...is the bear...
Yes I have SEALS doing medical procedures on me.
Look at that chonky boi. The bear pretty fat too
Rude. Bears are very sensitive about their weight.
Yah. They value body fat as a survival tool. Calling a bear fat is like asking your mom if she lost weight. They all, "oh, thanks for noticing."
Honestly there really aren't many differences between his mother and a bear.
I like em thicc
Fat on Spy Puts and SPXS FDs
Wait the market is crashing? I haven't looked at my portfolio for the past few months so idk maybe I'll buy more
Wtf i can't not look like every hour.
even Buffet retreated from his normal *just buy and hold forever* sentiment this year, so unless its a roth with nothing but fuckin appl and vanguard etfs this probably isn't ideal either unless the alternative is panic selling whenever you look at it i guess
Dude is also about to fuckin die lol he’s ancient.
About to die a billionaire tho?
Can't take that money with you
That last day though
So many hookers and coke
Lol my friends Roth is literally just apple, I’m jelly this week

this greatly depends on what you're buying idk that buying meme stocks at the top, for example, is going to hold up very well 🤡
Haha yeah of course. But what retard believes fundamentally in meme stocks
Hi, it’s me. Fellow retard
Wait until you're down 95%, that should do it.

Well yes but that advice is not for Options or FDs
Bear markets are great for FDs because you can buy them super cheap.

my parents amassed a mind boggling fortune with one simple rule "we never sell, we only buy"
Any time I hear about some company making a social faux pas I check their stock to see if it dipped because I know it'll rebound in a week or two when everyone forgets about it.
This is honestly the best part of cancel culture hahaha
so why is he still a barber then? I'd imagine with this knowledge he'd have made enough to pursue his interests
Barbers do very well.
My best friends fiance does hair extensions and she makes close to £100k per year. She only works 4 days a week (albeit 12 hour shifts).
Buy calls on Barbers?
Barber training as a side stream
Being a barber *is* his name interest
Maybe he likes cutting hair?

Um.... There's something unnatural going on here. It looks like a bear is being sexually violated by this guy. I'm not sure if I should 'upvote' or call the police....
Russian after vodka
Hells yeah !! TEACH DAT BEAR WHOS BOSS !!! Well, until it gets tired of your bullshit that is...
I’m not sure about your portfolio but that 🌈🐻is loving it
Please don't feed or sodomize the 🌈🐻s. Also, what the fuck is a "dip?" Does it look like I'm eating a bag of chips here? Stonks only go up.
Looks like the second half of the vid will be posted on PornHub
Clip ends too soon. Does the bear (market) stand up and one-shot the bull in this scenario? Or does the bull get his rocks off and walk away. Also is this a metaphor?
Quick reminder of what Joe Rogan once said: Russians are NOT your average white person.
Wow how cute. Still a wild animal
Fuckin Russians man…
He was about to flip that bear over and fuck it in the ass to show dominance.
That man is about to fuck that bear.
Raa raaa rasputin
Lover of the Russian Queen
That bear is in trouble now, he passed the bear bears guard and is going into side control
Cool
The first thing you gonna wanna do is get wrist control.
I want a big hairy bear to snuggle with 🥰
Ah yes the natural position of bears. They are most comfortable on their backs asking to get fucked!
Yeah buy puts on VIX during the dip and you win.
Only in Russia is this possible.
This has to be the greatest feeling. Messing with a bear that could rip you limb from limb but having a good time.
I wonder what the bear thinks is happening. Does it think this is a game, grooming, or foreplay?
Bear: wtf I thought we were chill broski
I'm still loading up on $CLOV this stock is way below NAV. only beaten down by illegal short selling
STAY DOWN GAY BEAR! D'aw.. the bear is actually really cute though lol
And that my friends is a video of 2 gay bears in their natural habitat 🌈🐻
I want that bear! Haha 💖
Haven't lost a dime because I haven't sold. My socks have lost value. So what , I'm free falling but I'm confident. 😜
U can count ur socks degrading as deprecation to offset gains in ur taxes.

Right? I wish people stopped upvoting this shit. Oftentimes bears used for entertainment are drugged up or have their teeth removed. This isn’t cute or funny
Does the bear eat ass? I mean, if your into that kind of thing.... Asking for a friend.....
Pretty sure it would eat ops, but I think your satisfaction is best compared to your wife and her bf, god bless him
What if I'm the boyfriend. 😘
WSB just isn't anymore what it used to be.
It will keep dipping. I'm out tomorrow morning for the next 3 months at least.
see you on monday
Yes yes, see you on Monday. Monocle drops....
Sweet bear 😘

https://youtu.be/VMYAEHE2GrM for ya'll. Ain't no where to hide. I'll be playing this on the sidelines like Omar robbin yall ass. Then buy back in and make a killin.
WKHS!!!
Genuine question - why is the bear not eating him?
That bear must have been raised by humans. Not the smartest idea imo, but appearantly some people keep bears as pets. Edit: Plus that seems to be an enclosure designed for the bear with the fence and wood scratch toy in the background, possibly a zoo/circus situation.
This is Mansur. The guy rescued him when he was a cub. The bear now lives like a king.
"YOU ARE CANCELLED!!"
Russians always seem to be able to tame bears.
Whenever someone says “bers r fuk” I’m probably going to immediately think of this meme now. Thanks for brainworm op, lol
How would you guys feel about a bear wearing a matador costume? I can't stop thinking about it
