I miss when markets were ruthless. I've made more money in QE land though, because its a monetary policy that makes the rich richer. Sorry poors But man it was so fucking fun to watch companies just get eviscerated on like a 1% miss. "OH a single truck of delivery was delayed, NO BONUS FOR YOUR C-SUITE". Fucking good times.

I was looking for the China comment. There is a growing sentiment that is starting to look at China as the model for infrastructure development, b/c they get things done so fast.

What’s with all the downvotes? Just giving my honest take. You can’t deny that posting a very nominal sum after nearly a decade is not something to be proud of. If you change your mindset, you’ll realize just how big the opportunity landscape is. 7 years ago I didn’t even think graduating from college was in the cards (just entered my shitty state school after being a straight C student in high school), and since then graduated with a masters from a top tier school with the highest grades possible and now I have a great white collar job at a top tech company, made lots of money in the markets and started a few successful side businesses, and if I keep pushing forward in my career, getting to 7-8 figure levels of comp is not unreasonable. Plus for another real world example (longer than 7 years but not a drastically different timeline), my father was at best a middle class doctor working at a hospital being highly underpaid (that’s what you get when you work in public service) around 10-12 years ago with less than $1-2M in assets total (and even that’s a generous estimate), but since started and sold a pretty successful private practice and now has a $30M+ net worth (and could potentially be at $100M+ in the next 1-3 years if the current company he’s working on goes well), so a lot can certainly change over a fair (but not infinite) amount of time.

Not op, but I've got 250 C 1/15/27 GOOG I bought end of August this year. I was long GOOG since it dipped to $150 in Sept 2024. Doubled down on shares during the summer 2025. At a very high level, if you have a strong conviction in a company, and you're buying shares, then buy some LEAPs to add asymmetric upside for your thesis. I like going in on both shares and options... Just feels "safer." I typically buy ATM or very, very close to it. To be clear I mean safer than only buying options.
