lmao

i havent really spoken to him since that text is hared and he hasnt tried to rub anything in my face.

he has literaly never taken any of my investment advice. im not saying im an expert, but i can at least get his portfolio in front of people who have been doing investment stuff for decades. he still doesnt listen

anyway the last thing i said to him was, "If you're not going to have a ceiling then at least have a floor." he might have thought this was some dumb metaphor for hubris or something though

I love this future where we begin to build the codified understanding CEOs need to be locked safely in lead-lined rooms when unsupervised, because the internet now gives them 24/7 ability to destroy their company with a single drug fueled public statement

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

given theres an entire gigantic industry built around selling them its amazing how many people still dont get that for like 99% of people the correct investment strategy is just buy some fuckin mutual funds

my cousin is a money obsessed idiot who, when i ran off the lat 8 years of total returns (index performance + reinvestment of dividends) numbers for the S&P 500 and Russell 1000, told me that doing as well as the market wasn't good enough and that he wanted to "smash the market"

All social media outlets are incredibly chud and Nazi friendly because they will buy any loving tee shirt you sell them. Every dipshit Instagram veteran lifestyle brand pumps money into the FB and Twitter ecosystem because the chuds will punch any monkey and click on any link that promises to own the libs. This is worth a lot of money for Facebook but more importantly the high click through rates on these guys are insanely good for Facebook's b2b marketing numbers.

This is why white nationalism is explicitly allowed but saying "men are trash" will get an autozucc on Facebook.

Does he idolize any individual investors or wealthy people? He needs some Warren Buffet influence, but I'm guessing he doesn't know who that is and if told, he'd discount the man's advice as just trying to screw the little guy.

Shorting Tesla sounds like a good idea. They doing the same thing that Krispy Kreme did in 2004 and inflating earnings numbers. It did not work out well for them with the SEC.

How funny that is depends upon how much his total life savings are. If it's like $30k and ~$22k are up in flames, it's a lot funnier than him having like $200k and losing 10% of it.

Isn't funny how Musk pitches the whole oil industry/short seller conspiracy but then brags about his Saudi friends being the ones backing his conversion of Tesla to a private company?

The article about engineers being threatened by management reminded me of the work under the surface work atmosphere at Theranos.
