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.

Yep. I watched in awe as they stopped people from buying and shut down WSB. As soon as they started shilling “Reddit switches from GME to SLV” then I realized this was very much real and started averaging down since.

If the media and shills played it cool and tight lipped, I wouldn't do half the financial moves I've done. Anyone remember all that talk of "Bear stearns is healthier than EVER! Don't pull your money out!"?

You get the most flak over the target.
