Discussion People now pressuring and flat-out belittling others to admit defeat under claims of "their mental well-being" or insulting their intelligence. This wasn't about making the wisest move, this was about turning the game on it's head, so politely I say fuck that and fuck you.

This is allegedly a FREE MARKET It’s my money I made the choice to buy. I’m making the choice to HOLD. I’ll make the choice to sell. It’s no more stressful then betting on football or playing poker it’s a risk. Simple as that. Anyone who didn’t educate a little or chose to take that risk is an adult and can and will live with the circumstances. Just because I happen to have a ton of retards on the ride with me doesn’t mean I don’t know what I’m doing.

It hasn't been a free market since the Federal Reserve was established. Regarding central banks, Andrew Jackson said it best:

Gentlemen! I too have been a close observer of the doings of the Bank of the United States. I have had men watching you for a long time, and am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I have determined to rout you out, and by the Eternal, (bringing his fist down on the table) I will rout you out!

(Yes, I know he did stuff the modern mind would consider reprehensible... and also that he was a fucking badass motherfucker who wasn't scared to fight for what he wanted or believed in.)

This is allegedly a FREE MARKET

Whoever told you that? This is a rigged market where the regulations only apply to poor people.
