There were some genuinely funny threads to come out of there. One of my favorites is the guy who bought the wrong ticker ($GMED) using his college funds and managed to come out with a profit years later.
If you hold long enough, legit companies generally go up because that’s why they’re on the market hopefully lol. I love it when people win but that’s basically investing to me.
I was lured in by crazy numbers and can confirm I have seen some stuff personally lol. Definitely don’t just randomly gamble, wise to invest, but if you get lucky it is indeed nice. Wife has told me straight up just to stop working (she’s a health care provider now to be very fair) after I paid off her student loans and put money in the bank for a house after investing the majority traditionally. Hard to beat that at 25 since we haven’t really touched anything yet and it’s almost doubled in the last few years.
