i met him by chance a long time ago before eth initially really took off (he had given away so much of his eth already at this point). he is fairly nice despite the awkwardness but yeah definitely not the guy to be doing the pitches. genius programmer

and the creator of btc is some mythical figure now lol. no i dont know who the person is.

dude would be an asset on your team for a starcraft tourney but ya not a talker. he needs a guy to get out and do PR just like Zuck did.

i doubt people like him get into whatever they end up a big timer at for the money. it just ends up working out that way, must be nice!

Baba back from the dead

BABA up 15% from my buy in 2 weeks ago. Good start, haven’t made many trades this year so far.

Some degenerate supporting UBI gave me 1,000FG.

Ill give 1000FG to the person who can post the best % gain by April 2, 2021. Your investment must be purchased on Jan 21, 2021 or after. No options or other financial derivatives, must be via trading stocks. I don't have a financial platform that reasonably trades options so if I cant play you cant either.

I don't care how much you invest. its % gained not dollar. Honour system only, cheat if you want its 1,000 fg.

Buy and sell as many times as you want, it's not an invest and hold.

Congrats to those that bought BABA and FB.

Both still have tremendous upside in my opinion. Both have a relatively low forward PE if you consider their growth potential.



You should make % gain of the overall portfolio from this date because I'm not sure if someone is willing to buy and hold an investment solely to win the fg prize.

No one has to participate , it just sounds like many are making little trades anyway here or there on nearly a weekly basis. Just designate $1,000 dollars or whatever to be your d2jsp cost basis going forward and whatever is made on that $1,000 by April 2 is your gain.

I tend to pick winners and sell when I get a 5-20% gain and then watch them jump up 50%, so this might actually help me make more money lol

I've removed the robinhood widget from my phone home screen...



Look at this rich person who can "just designate 1000 dollars".

That's over a quarter of some of our accounts!

This is the story of my life with options. I had CRM 01/29 calls that i sold for like a 5% gain and then they literally went up 100% + the next day.

It's human nature to try to lock in gains because we fear losing them and usually sell out too early. I think Warren Buffet said something like "The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient." which I've experienced dozens of times already even though I've been investing for less than 5 years. That's why I really evolved away from being a short term trader to more of a buy and hold quality names with the occasional trading with like 5-10% of my portfolio.
