I’m gonna get fired for being room temperature one day.

I wonder if it was intentional in the original…

We are in the "hard times create hard men" part of the cycle.

Interestingly, in the era of this expression, “hard man” often had a somewhat negative connotation like “calloused,” which I gather is generally not the meaning intended by those who use it today.

ITS ENOUGH SLICES

I contemplate the moment in the market, the idea of allowing your own crucifixion.

I've learned from being an adult through four crashes.

My portfolio has literally done better this month than any month in its history. 🤷

Edit: doubt or hate all you want lmao. Not here to argue.

The last three years have produced some of the most outrageously good returns in the market's history. Like, throw your money in the S&P and get 25% ROI any-idiot-can-get-rich levels of good returns.

What the hell have you done with your portfolio that you missed all of it?

Maybe they've just put everything into those 5x short s&p500 ETFs

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Not everything. But yeah, I used them to buffer damage my portfolio would have otherwise taken, and then made aggressive puts against highly volatile stocks like RDDT and DJT. Bought dumb sounding options for pennies, selling them for dollars.

I mean, if you were bearish in 2023 I couldn't really blame you. But shorting is an expensive hobby.
