Could just all the publicity cause a quick ponzi rise?[/quote]

one of my officemate is this 24year old… is total WallStreetBets member. He cashed in on his Gamestop call options. $1.3million haul…. [/quote]I’ve often felt that being in the right place at the right time is one of the keys to generating wealth. (It’s certainly been true with my success) This kid and others like them were on WallStreetBets at the right time, that’s for sure. While others might disagree, I doubt that kind of opportunity will come along again any time soon.
Unfortunately all too many of those that score from this debacle will think they’ve scored because they are so smart and good at predicting the future. Hopefully your office mate will instead follow their first intentions, pay off their loans and get a rent free condo.[/quote]
Agreed!I think the fact is some people are just born luckier, and while you can try to increases your chances of that luck, fundamentally if it’s not meant to be it’s not meant to be.
I think there’s a total of 8 times in my life that I was in the right place just on the wrong time frame that would have made me incredibly wealthy… Every single time, I was either early to the party (IE left before the company went public or sold something way too early), or arrived too late by a few months (had trading restrictions and couldn’t exit in time)…It use to bum me out…I’ve gotten use to the near hits, that I don’t bother to chase after them anymore. I’m done.
But I’m happy for my sibling. For the longest time she was screwed over by her employers….And after she came back from maternity, it was big uphill battle to find work at her level again. She only had one offer from a startup….That startup IPOed about 2-3 weeks ago….
CoronitaParticipantLooks like robinhood got $1billion in finding to continue this charade….I guess long enough at least for their ipo….meanwhile, amc and gamestop rebounds….lunacy…but I have to say….well done reddit kiddos…
one of my officemate is this 24year old… is total WallStreetBets member. He cashed in on his Gamestop call options. $1.3million haul…. I’m surprised he’s still working with us….lol…
Says he’s gonna use it to pay off his student loan and car loan. Wants to put the rest in a free and clear condo so he doesn’t have to pay rent …
Jokingly I asked if PCG was on WSB’s radar anytime soon, lol.
CoronitaParticipantI think they are more likely to break the back of Robinhood, 3 weeks before their IPO….lolol
Robinhood Is Said to Draw on Bank Credit Lines Amid Tumult
I think we’re hitting irrational exuberance 2.0. I’m getting out…
When the stock market is the most talked about thing on my work slack channel, even by people who never owned a share of stock….it’s time to get out… similar to when the airport shuttle driver gives you a lecture of how easy it was to make money flipping san diego real estate back in the 2006-7 timeframe, it was time to get out… lol….
The “watercooler talk” contrarian indicator, lol.
CoronitaParticipantThe irony of all this a lot hedge funds lost a lot of money to a bunch of kids that were trading from accounts in “Robinhood”…….lol
CoronitaParticipantAMC and Gamestop .
Oh my God , this is so 1999…
What the hell … It’s just hysterical …..
AMC, how the hell do you go up 145% in one day when almost all of your theaters are still closed, lol.
This is so fucked up.
CoronitaParticipantGamestop!
CoronitaParticipant[quote=svelte][quote=Coronita]be a social media influencer![/quote]
I even hate that term.
I think a better term would be Social Media Shill.[/quote]
How about flashing booty product placement specialist ?
CoronitaParticipantbe a social media influencer!
CoronitaParticipantdamn those lizards in far flung areas with no walls.
CoronitaParticipantAh yes…looks like it’s raining in San Diego real estate….
Dude just got pardoned too!!! LOL.
CoronitaParticipantSometimes in life having no choices but one choice is a good thing. My sis listened to my parents and majored in bioengineering at berkeley. She hated it and almost flunked out. transfered to econ… Got a bunch of odd jobs over the summer, nothing major. Had only one interview for a full time job while job hunting. She got the offer and took it because she had no other options… ended being an investment banking at one of the big firms paid crap, but ended up doing M&A so it turned out good. Fast forward to today…same sibling got screwed over by a few companies, including last one who let her go, we think because they found out she was going on maternity…since it wasn’t performance related, since she was top performer. Was juggling kids and tried to reenter workforce and again got only one offer from a tiny company that allowed her to work at home… That company just IPOed this last month.
One of my younger cousin was in a similar boat. Wasted dad’s money and half way through medical school decided she hated it, lol. Switched into finance and got one interview with one job at the almost failing Barclays, when everyone else was jumping ship. She had no options, so stuck with it. Today she’s a Managing Director there…Funny how life screwups always end up working itself out in the long run.
CoronitaParticipantI tell my daughter all the time…
“If you don’t know what you want to do, that’s fine. But you at least should try “something” and figure out if this is something you definitely don’t want to do…The dirty secret is that the majority of the people out there don’t have an extreme passion for what they are doing or extremely hate what they are doing…So you might as well pick the highest paying career/job/business you can obtain that is “tolerable” until you find what you really want to do or until you need to make changes to accommodate your lifestyle… if you ever are lucky enough to figure what your real passion is during your lifetime… All this emphasis of “follow your passion” frankly is bullshit. most people don’t have that extreme passion in anything, and if that is what you are counting on to motivate to do anything, there’s a high probability you won’t do anything for a long time…I mean, it’s not like you came running to us and said mom and dad I got to learn how to play the violin or I will die!!!! It was probably more like, ok I’ll do it because you forced me to at gunpoint the first year despite my kicking and screaming, and after about 2-3 years fortunately you didn’t think it was that bad and wanted to continue with it, unlike your ice skating lessons I wasted my money on which in the end you decided you didn’t want to be the next Michele Kwan…wish you told me before all those years of private lessons, lol ”
I hate how my kid says how much she dislikes something even before trying…we never did that…we didn’t have a choice when we were their age.
