RE:RE:RE:RE:THE VOICE OF EXPERIENCEHomestench, as always, you and the others riding the Clown Car are wayyyyy out of your league trying to respond. Better you just stick to your silly "To the moon!" comments and call it a day.
You suggest I base my narrative on my position, and that that is a problem. Well big frigging DUH Homestench! Let's say I'm long, and then decide to sell because I think the stock has topped out, or that there is new information that is presented that I think will bring the stock down. Oh wait....by your suggestion, I should still keep the same long narrative? Not explain why I think differently? Not provide, at the very least, intelligent food for thought?
Or if I say, "hey, this is a bubble and it's getting way over done, having sold my own long position because I don't lke bubbles, by your thinking I should have stayed with only the upside comments? Not warn of the bubble?
Let's keep it simple so you and your pinhead comrads can understand.
IF I CHANGE MY NARRATIVE, THEN I'VE CHANGED MY POSITION. IF I CHANGE MY POSITION IT IS BECAUSE MY THINKING HAS CHANGED. I WILL TAKE THE TIME, EVEN FOR YOU PINHEADS, TO EXPLAIN MY THINKING AND WHY IT'S CHANGED.
You yourself have said "stocks go up, stocks go down". The difference here is I respond accordingly to those swings, and you just keep up dumbazz rhetoric of to the moon.
When I said it was a bubble at over $70, and it was going to $22, do you realize the money you could have made and/or not lost, had you just had 1/2 a brain to consider listening? No, because you're blindly married to the stock. That's some strategy you've got there! FAIL.
I'll continue on just fine thanks. if I think it's a buy, I'll do that and explain why. If I think it's a sell, I'll do that, and explain why. If that irks the Clowns, I really don't care. I'd much rather add intelligent thought, for or against, and certainly read all posts that do the same. I WANT my view to be challenged. I WANT to hear perspectives from all points of views. But you? To the moon is not intelligent. It offers no perspective or understanding. Blindly marrying a stock is not intelligent.
The ONLY thing you and the other Clowns offer is sad sport. Live I've said many times before. It's like shooting fish out of a barrel.

That was awesome Tim. A definite mic drop. Too bad the cockroach keeps running out of the rocks to grab the mic even though 95% of the people on the board know Starcrappers M O.
You are right about one thing though Starcrapper, that everyone is here to make money. No truer words were ever spoken.
The part about there being no good guys and no bad guys is absolutely false.
Day traders that swing in and out of a position are fine.
Short sellers(not naked) are fine.
Long term Investors are fine.
Options traders are fine.
Aszholes like yourself that change their narrative based on their position are scum. By all means buy when you want and sell when you want but shut your pie hole while you do it. I'm not concerned that you will sway the Longs on this board but you are well spoken and may scare new investors away from an investment they wanted to make. You are not trying to protect them or inform them, you are trying to get them to sell or buy based on the position you hold at the time and that's what separates good guys and bad guys on here. I would wager that a majority of the Longs have traded some or all of their position over the years they just didn't feel the need to come on here like you screaming, " look at me, look at me!" The difference is their message never changed and they most definitely did not try to influence people. At most they went silent for a while until they reestablished their position.
You are the quintessential aszhole when it comes to this. You said it yourself, like we've all been saying for years. You hide in the rocks like a cockroach and come running out to pick up scraps. I'm glad you finally realized this.
You tell people to add up their losses from the absolute highs down to the absolute lows and try to tell people they have lost more than they have gained.
You do realize that all the Longs that have been here from the beginning are up 7 figures plus ..........right?????
$100,000$5/share=20,000 shares
20,000 shares $51.14 = $1,022,800
Please do any calculation you would like and explain to the person that bought these shares how in your opinion they are down money?? You won't or should I say can't because you know how id!otic your statement is. Anyone except for you can be smart using hindsight. The difference between you and other people is that you believe you are the smartest person in the room........you're not.....never will be. Go back and hide in your rocks, it's a good place for you.
Starsearcher80 wrote: Nobody gets it right all the time? ABSOLUTELY! Look, if I've learned one thing, it's to know that the market is the dirtiest pigpen there is. It's akin to seeing a pot of gold at the bottom of a pool, but the pool is shart infested. Your job though is to grab the gold. The primary flaw most people make in the market is thinking that they've got it all goin' on, and that they are in fact one of the sharks now. NEVER is that true. Over 30 years in the market, and the only thing that keeps me alive is to say I'm a guppie that hides in the rocks, and then darts out and grabs a morsel, and then runs for cover.
That's also why I say I'll happily bat singles and double all day long, be it long or short. You adapt on a dime to the data in front of you and act accordingly.
But the Clowns here think, immaturely, that it is somehow good guys and bad guys. Wrong again. Here to make money, nothing else, however that comes. To be SO married to a stock is ultimately costly. Clowns if you're not sure here what I mean, add up all the money you've given back, riding obvious tops down, time and time again. This has NOTHING to do with whether this is a good company (it is), or what its ultimate value will be (more than it is today). But do even just two calculations...your math on $70 down $20 (the first and biggest bubble), and then $20 to $14 (pandemic start), and then most recently $70 down to $50 (reddit bubble). As you can see, you've lost far far more than you've gained.
Now, being blindly married to the stock, you'll just try and ignore this. That's just living in a fantasy, the same way some newbies will try and rationalize things by saying "It's not a loss until you press the sell button." Umm, no. It's a loss all the same. Period. Personally, I prefer realism. Money I lose on paper is a loss all the same, or a gain I "should" have been smart enough to realize, had I been looking at the obvious data rather than my marriage certificate. ;)
