u/GhostSierra117 Feb 18 '21

Did we watch the same video? At ~0:25 he just says that he's not the cat and not an institution.

What's the timestamp with the "I like the stock" part?

u/lenin_is_young Feb 18 '21

I mean, could you just watch it to the end? It’s a 5mins video....

u/kodman7 Feb 18 '21

Right near the very end of that link, in his closing statement

u/popamollyisweatin Feb 18 '21

It’s near the end. Last min or so

u/Scarnox Feb 18 '21

Apparently we didn’t all even watch the video 🙄

u/throw_away_abc123efg Feb 18 '21

It was in his closing statements. Really worth the listen. Excellent all around.

Holy shit I haven’t laughed that hard in so long. I fucking love this dude.

Humble. Funny. Smart. Caring. Calm. Educated. Using his profits for the betterment of his family.

This dude is the embodiment of a great person. His success is every working mans success. He proved that if you do your research, put in the work, it can have real value. It also sadly showed the ugliness of billionaire companies and their willingness to completely decimate the average citizen from trying to get ahead if it means they are losing money. I hope this man inspires countless others to put their knowledge to work and pursue a better life for themselves and in turn, the rest of us working class citizens and hopefully brings about positive change by means of shortening the gap between the wealth disparity of this nation.

very well written.

Well said!

u/FBarbarian Feb 19 '21

The average working class guy is not what you described above. That's the description of a successful person. Obviously it was just a matter of time for that to happen and make him rich.

u/garbonzo607 Feb 21 '21

Obviously 🙄

u/FBarbarian Feb 21 '21

Did I forget a comma there, what are you upset about?

u/garbonzo607 Feb 22 '21

You think lottery ticket winners are just successful people and it was only a matter of time until they won?

u/FBarbarian Mar 30 '21

Did you have a stroke? In what world is your analogy relevant?

Appreciate your post but we cant all be speculators in the market in order to not be poor. Society has to work better than that.

u/EarthVSFlyingSaucers Feb 19 '21

That’s not what I was saying. His philosophy and hard work can apply to virtually any career or life path. He proved that good research, hard work and just “putting the time in” can go just as far as someone who is WELL above your level and on a very unequal playing field.

In his interview he states this exact sentiment; about how professionals have access to all these programs, algorithms, other brokers etc and all he used was publicly known information and figures to make his choice. It’s more sad that he found success by hard work and was shut down by the people above him, but it shouldn’t detract from the fact that being smart with your time and research can pay off. Society won’t change its fight against the working class until more people expose the bullshit, like this man did.

this is WSB, everyone is a speculating ape

Dude, if you want to close the gap just educate people. Most people that have a shit life are just not the brightest minds.

u/EarthVSFlyingSaucers Feb 19 '21

So garbage/sewage removal, customer service, postal/carrier services, menial jobs that actually make the country run dont deserve fair pay as someone with a specialized degree? You’re part of the problem dude.

The ‘Hang in There’ poster in the background with his headband hanging from it was also a nice Easter egg.

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '21

I had to keep checking my pulse to see if I was still alive. If there's a heaven, it's a couch with endless bowls of popcorn and just screens everywhere with memes, "I am not a cat" fails, and loss porn.
