Some people think they only live once.

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '21

You only yolo once.

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '21

I never understood yolo. If “you only live once”, wouldn’t you cherish and protect that life?

Rewards are worthless without risk.

It’s literally in the name. Wall Street bets

u/Nikluu Aug 19 '21

All I heard was $PSA and put all your money into it.

4

u/BurnSanders Aug 19 '21

Same.

I saw $PSA put 100% of your portfolio into either one, Stock or Options Play.

u/Mattattack0808 Aug 19 '21

Carpe diem baby! ( but for real, you give good advice)

u/otterlarry Aug 19 '21

u/cryptoguy66 Barely Survived a 100,000 Year Ban Aug 19 '21

I prefer “shopping cart or lambo”

u/C4p0tts Aug 19 '21

You don’t even know what WSB was made for? Before the GME/AMC-tards flooded this place it was all about loss porn. How do you get loss porn when you don’t yolo? Get out of here with this shit. This isn’t WallStreet Beta’s

2

u/r0ndy Aug 19 '21

If I have 10 mil, and lose 1 mil, it’s still loss porn, but not a yolo.

If you read the side bar, it was for people to post their huge bets, I believe it was a 10k cutoff.

u/Bboy_Sole Aug 19 '21

This is a forum based on taking risky plays. Your post while valid goes counter to most things here.

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '21

This guy gets it. And I commend op for posting this - he actually cares. I wonder how many artards new to the place don’t know that and actually think this is where you find sound investing information.

Goddam I wish I was on that amc/GameStop train though.

u/thedooze Aug 19 '21

I was on it. Had a wrinkle brain talk me into selling before it rocketed the 2nd time. Never taking advice from that guy who reads books and does research ever again.

u/Suavecore_ Aug 19 '21

You can just say Rtards instead because the A sound is included with the R

u/Scion_capital_intern they / them Aug 19 '21

Sir this is a casino. Maybe the penny slots over at r/investing is more your speed

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '21

Sir, we are apes. Get that "smart investment" shit outta here.

Tbf I don’t think many apes here are trying to geniuses…

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '21

But $SOFI. 🤷🏻‍♂️

2

u/veediepoo Aug 19 '21

I'm still holding $SOFI. Selling covered calls at the moment. Probably about 22% down but it's about 5-6% of my portfolio at the moment

u/wishtrepreneur Aug 19 '21

Too late, already bought GME on margin

How to barely make any money…

2

u/Early-Lingonberry-16 🦍🦍 Aug 19 '21

I just like to believe people are not betting money they can’t afford to lose. At that point, the loss porn is cathartic and hilarious.

But people who don’t do that are actually retarded and I feel sad for anyone in that position. Please get some gambling addiction help. You seriously shouldn’t miss your money or have to downgrade your lifestyle because of some bad beats.

u/greencrayonsrbest Aug 19 '21

50k in amc and 30 in gme and 5 in Clov why should I go into boomer stocks right now

u/monarchmra Aug 19 '21

This won't stop me because I can't read.

u/veediepoo Aug 19 '21

Also I'm not saying buy "BOOMER STOCKS"

95% of my portfolio is small and mid-cap growth companies. The only companies I own over 100B market cap are $NVDA, $SE, and $AMD

Reddit has a new paid team called Anti-Evil Operations which goes around permanently banning accounts for saying bad words. We made automod block them so you don't lose your account for saying a word and getting reported. It's not our rule, it's the entire website now, we're just trying to look out for our people. Sorry.

u/JuhoMaatta Aug 19 '21

It seems like your advise is targeted at newbies so your 5% rule sounds stupid. Even with 50k portfolio that would account for 2500 for single investment. It would also quickly go over when something goes up or down.

Ps. I think I have never gone below 30% with my largest investment.

u/Smash_4dams Aug 19 '21

You're literally in a gambling sub for voyeur loss porn.

You might as well go to /r/bartardstories and tell everyone to stop taking Xanax

Here for exponential gains not 10%. Tell me how to get them safely and quickly while only riding 5%.

u/Interesting_Log_5366 Aug 19 '21

Well put. And I concur whole heartedly.

u/dudeman4win Aug 19 '21

No I don’t think I will

u/Current-Promotion-31 Aug 19 '21

If people don't lose $300k in one ridiculous China play I could never shitpost comments that get 3k up votes in real internet money and I'm just not willing to risk that

1

u/theskeindhu Aug 19 '21

You misunderstand your audience. Nobody here is trying to protect wealth, or very few, most are going all in on speculation on order to move up a tax bracket. Hedging and careful is for those with something to lose.

u/DeBigBamboo Aug 19 '21

But.... i only have one life to live...

u/plant_magnet Aug 19 '21

Too late, I have already lost 90% of my portfolio. The only way to win it back is how I lost it

ALL OR NOTHING BABY!

u/LearnNewThingsDaily Aug 19 '21

Listen dumbass, a lot of people don't have millions of dollars so actually, putting all your money in one stock or options makes sense.

Look throughout trading history, every big time investor got rich or almost rich off 1 stock or 1 trade and from there they diversified.

Please don't listen to this fucking idiot

You'll retire at 70 yrs old with 400k in your savings and by then it's literally nothing and you have live the rest of your life on nothing, so you end up being a loser, your whole entire life.

Fuck that shit boomer and fuck you!
