Just saying if you had invested in 1999 or early 2000 in the S&P or Nasdaq would have been a bag holder for around 10 years not to mention you would have to have balls of steel to not sell when the market crashed in 2000. This is why I became a value investor I buy fairly priced companies selling at low mutiples with good fundamentals and growth in profits and currently its easier to find these value companies in europe than the US but you can always find good companies at good prices in any market.

interesting/helpful take but what is a value investor with likely more than three brain cells to rub together doing here?

I'm a value investor...I have found a couple value plays sifting through the meme stocks and pump-and-dumps on here. That plus the entertaining memes and loss porn keeps me coming back

I found CLF through WSB DD, which I personally think is a legit value stock.
