My money managers have done well. Retired 8 years ago,with only social security and I have a much higher net worth ($3m) than at retirement. Leave it to pros.

WSB is a pretty good gauge of what's going on in the retail mind. And it has been pure panic and anti-AI slop for as long as I've been here. Obviously I am just guessing about what happened, but my best guess is that finally came to a head. Pros follow retail more these days than before, since they are the ones selling us options and such, and there are a lot of us and a lot of money to be made on us. In the short term pro and retail moves aren't necessarily diametrically opposed since we all trade momentum

Find your nearest glory hole. Pros: feelsamazing cons: might be a man

Just what I have access to. More fun due to being able to hold thru 1-2% drawdowns and not being liquidated. Pros & cons to each. I don't run stops on my options for example. Limits my max loss without having to deal with that - my max loss is 100% by EOD if the thesis doesn't work out. \--- Also 0DTE's are popular with the guys in the daily, so that's what I play. I trade SPY > SPX due to it being more liquid & taxes not mattering for me here (it's a corporate account for my hold co). I'm basically just having fun doing some degenerate gambling

Couple of red days mixed in don´t mean anything. But the sentiment clearly shifted sharply. The pros predict a bear market and usually at the end of any red day we see a short rally up. This time it was a selloff into the close. Doesn´t mean the end is here, but just sticking your head into the sand and ignoring all the sirens and red flags is just as unreasonable as panicking.

Insightful with pros and risks. I’ll check this stock.

If you move to Miami your identity is pre-stolen ahead of time just before you get here. Someone will purchase all the Mac book pros and air pods they can at your local Best Buy. Then when you report it to the police they will tell you to fly a kite. You have now been initiated as a miamimian

It’s better for white collar jobs. If you’re any of the following professions your life will be significantly better in the US than any other country: Accountant, engineer(the 15 different types), nurse, lawyer, management consultant, tech consultant, doctor, anything in tech, literally anything in finance, anything in data etc. The US economy is built off the back of the white collar worker so of course its medical system will be excellent for those workers. A McDonald’s cashier obviously won’t have those benefits but it’s not only the “rich” or elites who greatly benefit from the US system. Young people who use the hospital WAY less benefit economically more from no universal healthcare. You go to any hospital and it’s squarely just geriatrics pretty much. But universal healthcare is pretty much taking from the young and giving to the old. The US private healthcare system avoids it. As you’ve mentioned though it’s way more stressful. If I am a young person who doesn’t have family that are solidly middle class and I get injured for example, my life becomes hell. But for the average young person, economically they’re better off. For the average white collar worker they have ludicrously better healthcare. Basically my point is universal healthcare has its cons too as I’ve seen in public Canadian and English hospitals compared to American ones. It’s just whether those cons are worth it for the pros of less stress.

Fantastic trade. I understand your logic and it is solid. But, think of this, what is the down side to taking some off the table? Like 20-25%. You still have meaningful upside and yet have shielded yourself from a general market sell off that may have nothing to do with google. When investors, retail and pros, go to sell they sell everything and tend to sell winners. That is reverse logic but they do it anyway. Good luck !

That's a great question, and the fact that you're asking it means you're thinking like the pros.
