      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?

                  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.
