    You should expect about one recession every 5-10 years.

    They are all “once in a lifetime” in their own way if you want to sell news headlines.

    A post of the user pervocracy, on tumblr, saying "Me in history class: Wow, humanity has been through some fascinating times! I wonder if I'll ever live through major historical events!
Me now: NO NO NO NO NO I WANT TO GET OFF THIS RIDE"
Followed by a reply from alittlebitofhufflepuff repeating "it was supposed to be space travel." 5 times. The fifth time is missing "avel".

    Pretty early to use “surviving” as a verb.

    I contemplate the moment in the market, the idea of allowing your own crucifixion.

    I’ve learned from being an adult through four crashes.

    My portfolio has literally done better this month than any month in its history. 🤷

    Edit: doubt or hate all you want lmao. Not here to argue.

      The last three years have produced some of the most outrageously good returns in the market’s history. Like, throw your money in the S&P and get 25% ROI any-idiot-can-get-rich levels of good returns.

      What the hell have you done with your portfolio that you missed all of it?

        Maybe they’ve just put everything into those 5x short s&p500 ETFs

          Not everything. But yeah, I used them to buffer damage my portfolio would have otherwise taken, and then made aggressive puts against highly volatile stocks like RDDT and DJT. Bought dumb sounding options for pennies, selling them for dollars.

          I mean, if you were bearish in 2023 I couldn’t really blame you. But shorting is an expensive hobby.
