I'm gonna sit this one out.
I haven't bothered with stocks, and though I really have an urge to jump on it now, I don't think it is necessary.
The stock market has been just a glorified casino for the longest time now, and "the house always wins" is a guarantee.
That's my primary reason for not getting into it, and I think I'm gonna maintain that stance.
Don't get me wrong, I know I'm probably gonna miss out on a lot of money, and I'm hopeful you guys are gonna make a ton!
But... I'm not all that in to money.
It's not out of any sense of fear, but more from a sense that soon money won't matter. The only reason this stock looks appetizing right now is because our tastes have been conditioned by bad players for a long time and it is currently blasting all our taste-buds, and is probably designed to do just that.
I'm sure we're all willing to admit that there is some sort of ruse or scheme behind what Trump set up -- there always is. He hasn't usually just done things for money; he's frequently done things for the better, in whatever way it needs to manifest.
This might all be a scheme to put pressure on the market and show how honest, good stocks and businesses are suppressed in our grand and devious pay-to-play mafia style market.
I think this is all headed to expose how Wall Street makes sure good, honest companies aren't allowed to happen; just like GME shows how they've rig things to always protect them from going bust.
Just like cancer research, even if a cure came out, the bad guys would make sure it never saw the light of day. Same deal here, but with honest businesses trying to provide a needed service with no strings attached.
I'm no expert, and I'm not giving advice on whether or not to invest, but I think it's obvious that we shouldn't treat this like a regular stock. Invest more wisely than ever before. 5D chess is happening, and we can't focus only on the pawns.
Anyways... I suppose I just wanted to see if anyone else shares my sentiments...
Thoughts?
I'm with you. I have plenty. I do hope others get what they need and then protect themselves. $5,000 investment would yield around $40,000 plus right now, that's enough to get through a storm I'd say. However, take it to the moon if your heart desires it.
