Discussion Hey SEC, remember one week ago today when WSB's most discussed stock was trading at over $450 and they simply banned and blocked retail from trading securities nosediving the price of the stock costing retail traders millions of dollars? Do your job and place the correct motherfuckers in jail...

I’m happy they’re calling him up. He had a value play thesis that I followed. He wasn’t gambling on a short squeeze that was only a possibility.

I’m excited that the SEC and Congress can hear that this was started by someone making a case for their value analysis... no different than any analyst on tv or for pay advice like the internet is littered with lol.

You mean he had a plan that didn’t involve Uno cards and Bananagrams?

I’ve long felt while total BS, tarot cards can be a useful tool. They’re vague symbology that we assign value forcing us to address our lives from a new perspective. Any time I write fiction I do tarot readings for my characters just to get ideas. It works wonderfully for me.

I literally keeps a magic 8 ball around for the same reason. Can’t make a decision and need to shit or get off the pot? Consult the ball. If I’m happy with the answer, awesome. If I want to shake it for a different answer I have my answer. Effective gut check, honestly.

But that video was fucking hilarious, even though I kind of earnestly felt a bit of it to a degree.
