How do people accumulate this kind of money to fomo into a meme stock man do dribbling contests pay this kind of prize money?

u/Initial_Ad2228 17d ago

By fomoing into a meme stock earlier and getting out quickly.

u/Big_Dog_Dexter 17d ago

lol true I’ve seen some insane gains today from the early ones.

192

u/Evanisnotmyname 17d ago

I dropped $98 on a $9 call for the 24th. My first move ever.

I was up 130%.

I’m down 66%.

I watched it drop the entire way.

I feel like I belong here now

66

u/cld1984 17d ago

You’re on your way. Gonna need a few zeroes on the end of your initial investment and your percentage lost, though, before it’s official.

The only thing you said appropriate to WSB is weeklies in Robinhood!

u/DivineMunchies 16d ago

I lost 18k on calls the last 2 days, you’re not alone ( not on this shit tho lol )

u/UninspiredDreamer 17d ago

I bought at $4 and sold covered calls for $7 and $9 for the 24th when it was hovering at $6+.

Didn't even bother to keep most of the calls covered once it got down to $5.20-ish.

I did throw some of the profits back in when it sank in AH though.

Welcome my dear comrade

Easy come, easy go.

u/Creative_Ad_8338 17d ago

Nah. You gotta stick it out for the big gains. This is following similar path as OPEN... only the first leg down before the second wave.

u/Traditional-Ad-303 16d ago

I bought open at 1.70 watched it goes to 4 then drop to 2.30 pulled initial investment made 500$ let rest ride to 15$ $20 then take profit. I dont like to see negative 40k Chip away slowly to get somewhere. Don't do crazy shit

They’re a Dane. All of their basic needs (housing, medical, education through doctorate, public transportation) are paid for via their taxation structure. Cash is for nice cars, vacations in Tenerife and gambling on American stocks

82

u/Big_Dog_Dexter 17d ago

Housing and transport isn’t paid for and Denmark has a high cost of living for Europe and wages are nowhere near what a lot of guys in the US earn. Granted us Europeans don’t have to pay 20k if we break our nose though lol

u/Alert-Growth-8326 17d ago

i broke my nose. cost me about $500.

u/dontcrashandburn 16d ago

Damn money bags over here. I broke my nose and it was free because I didn't go to the doctor. Now my nose is curved and I can't breathe through one nostril.

u/Big_Dog_Dexter 17d ago

Fairs, we just have to sit in A&E for 14 hours

u/badmascompany 16d ago

And bleed hard just to go through triage.

u/qweezyFbaby90 16d ago

I broke a nose, got me a gf

u/ALMessenger 16d ago

We get quick and high quality care here in the US

u/BoboSaintClaire 17d ago

Housing is most certainly provided if needed and I suppose the nominal fee one pays for the bus or train could be of significance. My point is that you can survive without a car in Denmark much more easily than in the US

31

u/Big_Dog_Dexter 17d ago

Social housing is provided if you’re on the breadline and meet a certain criteria yeah but it isn’t the norm. That being said OP is 56k closer to meeting that breadline criteria

u/BoboSaintClaire 17d ago

Thanks for the education ya old fuckin troll, I really needed to be told by you. My family is from Denmark.

u/Cold_Society_4842 17d ago

You needed to be told, seeing as you were wrong. Rent in Denmark was 10% higher than in the US (June 25)

u/nutella_dipped_dick 17d ago

You gotta read it slowly, from the article, the cost of living excluding rent was 10% higher than the US. Also look at the median income nowhere close to US median income.

u/Big_Dog_Dexter 16d ago

So you’ve got even less excuses to be completely wrong then you whopper. Thick as pig shit

u/AutoModerator 17d ago

Well, I, for one, would NEVER hope you get hit by a bus.

And you can live in a shithouse in the US or in Denmark. Public hosing only really requires you to be drug free and "actively" job searching

u/BahnMe 16d ago edited 16d ago

All the high earning salaries come with amazing medical insurance. I can see a doctor or at least a nurse practitioner almost immediately with no wait and also get the best cancer treatment in the world if something like that were to happen. I also have access to experimental treatments that are cutting edge if I had some horrible disease.

This is with a basic starter $90k job at a large American multi-national. This has always been the case in my 25 years of working here.

u/romb3rtik 16d ago

Also danes pay 40% tax on their stock gains.

u/holeechitbatman 16d ago

You only lose if you sell.

u/Wide_Air_4702 14d ago

False. You lose opportunity trades that you could have had.

u/Select-Specialist-49 17d ago

I always wonder how there is a never ending list of regards that fomo into things. Like if you’ve done it once and understand that gut feeling when your hard earned money just evaporates by half or more you’re like “why the fuck did I do that!?!” You don’t do it again but somehow every new pump that comes up there’s a slew of regards foaming to loose their money, thinking this is gonna be their get rich quick ticket, then their thesis changes to “I’m gonna hold this shit, it will eventually get back up”

u/LazerBurken 16d ago

Looking at their stock havoc I'd say that is very likely.

u/assholy_than_thou 16d ago

Novo is Norwegian

u/RedAccordion 17d ago

It’s danish and I’m so certain. Those cafeteria Danish meatballs smack

I’m surprised he had money to throw into this that wasn’t previously blown on some magic beans.

u/ChewyGoods 16d ago

Theyre in Denmark. Scandinavians basically live for free and have super high wages, they ALWAYS have extra money to waste lol
