If it were 10k it would have been a genius buy though!
No, it wouldn't. 2k would have been. Buying at the all time peak is ALWAY a stupid buy, idc if it does take off after.
Like playing the slot machines hoping for a jackpot.
If you bought NVIDIA at $43/share on September 1, 2023 you were an absolute dipshit.
If you bought Palantir at $35/share on January 29, 2021 you were a total moron.
Meanwhile, Bear Stearns at $60 in March of 2008? A fucking steal. Buy! Buy! Buy!
I always read the prospectus on a slot machine before I put money in. Strangely enough the p/e on these things is amazing, but I never make any money on my trades.
I'm curious as to how much casino's rig their shit.
MIL is a gambler, a bad one too. I don't think numbers will help her, but my wife could use them to try to dissuade her mother. At least, deter. Damage control.
Do you have any documentation?
You should get her a cheap steam deck with Balrato. Might help.
Also: Nevada gaming regs for slot machines
And: Darknet Diaries Jackpot episode
Not interested in Balrato.
A steam deck is also out of reach for now.
Thanks for the regs, and I hadn't check that podcast out in a while. Good reason to get back it!
Lmao, no surprise to see you defend actual slot machines.
I'm fairly certain that was meant as sarcasm.
Poe's Law. If people like them didn't really exist then casinos wouldn't be profitable.
Please show me the prospectus that slot machines have. Using a term associated with legitimate investing is why it's humorous.
If they were sarcastic they should amend with the /s
You dont get to be treated respectfully when spewing stupid bullshit because the whole world is filled with stupid bullshit and you're adding fuel to the fire.
I don't think someone saying they check the prospectus of a slot machine is spreading stupid bullshit, they're making a joke. It's okay if you didn't get it. There's no reason to be defensive or get upset.
'Tell me you know nothing about the stock market without explicitly saying so'
Keep waiting for that AMC gamma, dolt.
