OT: Anything Goes 38

[RayP]

I'm currently 2% over the company match. Company matches up to 6%. I'm dumping 8%. I bump up 1% every time I get a raise. I'll keep doing that until I hit my goal of 12%. Then it'll just stay there unless I can comfortably go higher.

Yeah, that’s exactly where I’m at currently too.

He is not wrong in what he is saying.

Barstool is what it is but this shit with the NWHL is complete bs as the writer bout out a hit piece with blatant lies and the league backed her. I read the article and I can't believe the author got away with it. It is pathetic to be honest because the CEO of Barstool is a huge backer of women's hockey. Yes Barstool has a negative history in many ways but Nardini and Barstool actually do some positive things. You just have to be able to separate the two.

If you want to come at me for this stance that is fine but I ask you to actually look into the good that both Nardini and Barstool have done on many fronts before condemning them completely.

Not saying that video is incorrect, I haven't watched it. So, I can't say.

And one of my local restaurants here just got huge financial help from them.

But, still f*** barstool. It's a garbage platform. 45 has done some positive things in his life too. But f*** him.

It will stop, and when it does, you don't want to be the one left holding the bag.

People holding the bag 10 years ago woke up millionaires this week.

Right. Just fun what ifs. Shit was at like $6 a share at one point. Now it's up over $300. Lol.

Get in for $6 a share with like 100k... cool, quick 5m. Haha. Retired by 40.

Can't imagine having this ROI and not cashing right tf out. Either a massive set of balls or complete ignorance.

Imagine comparing Barstool to 45...

The subreddit r/wallstreetbets is gaining 50-100k followers every 5-10 minutes.

GameStop might never stop.

the company itself is in a death spiral ... people will take there money out of that garbage and when they start - it will go fast.

Is that subreddit going to seek out other meme-worthy companies? Should I buy a few shares of SEGA for when they move on to 90's nostalgia stocks?

SEGA is an OTC stock and doesn't have the volume to draw interest from WSB.

Surprisingly, WSB isn't a fan of OTC penny stocks, which is ironic because they're treating GME and AMC the exact same as OTC stocks lol.

Lost in all this will be the many reddit users that bought in on the high side of this transaction and lose money. In order to realize your profit, you do have to sell at some point. With all the publicity expect some people to keep pushing only to have their asses handed to them.

Silver is on their target list...think their main reason is that its a manipulated market and inflation adjusted its worth like 50x more than where it currently trades...but its already on robinhood radar as they restricted shares for purchase, free market btw

 

[Toews2Bickell]

No one here should get involved, you’ll all get slaughtered.

That said, I know a few full-time traders who were in early and made tens of millions. Not bad for a few weeks’ work.

There has been speculation on fin twitter that there is way more to the move in gme than simply wsb...that there has to be bigger firms involved on the other side of the big shorts (melvin, etc)...

its like the mantra of their forum is to never sell...diamond hands they call it...

It can stop snowing whenever.

Might need to do it once more before the end of today

We need some snow like crazy out here.... we did finally get a storm Friday/Saturday but with how little we’ve gotten this winter I think there were close to 20 avalanches yesterday and even more expected today.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Finally started getting snow in Bloomington-Normal a couple hours ago. Was just an ugly rain day yesterday, so I'm sure there's a sheet of ice under the snow now here.

Took me 45 minutes to maneuver my car into a spot after getting stuck trying to get into the alley.
