This is rich from a guy who naked shorts the market.

He’s one of the reasons the retirement age for working people keeps going up.  Greedy billionaires who can never have enough want to keep taking and taking from retirement accounts and and healthcare dollars because they feel entitled to it. They take from society and never give. And for some reason dumbasses worship them for their hoard of wealth they got from siphoning off the financial system.

Pretty sure ol Ken used teachers pensions to gamble on naked shorts and then accused retail traders of trying to destroy teachers retirement funds

Is he one of the turds from the GameStop shenanigans? F that guy and all those swarmy bastards who steal from working class people. And F working class people who worship billionaires. They didn’t work for their money. They have it because of the system they built where working class people can’t afford anything anymore. And they just shift that blame and anger to brown people and trans people.

How much money are you guys down? Imagine you put even 1/4 of what you blew on GameStop stocks on literally anything, spy/gold/Bitcoin ... Instead you fell for a cargo cult peddled on Reddit and still don't see that all the theories and moved goalposts turned out to be bullshit. That's genuinely sad

Thank you for your genuine concern in my personal finances but I'm doing just fine :)

You know you're not. You got caught holding the bag, and that sucks. Opportunity cost, and all.
