I had no control man.
He entered his potential profits on the calculator app and held his phone out to me and I just sat there blankly staring at his screen for like 10 seconds, thinking about how he could be so excited over such trivial gains.
"If it goes to 1000 I'll have 5k!!"
I sit there, emotionless.
I lean forward and squint, making sure I'm seeing what I'm actually seeing.
A 5 thousand dollar profit if this thing happened to have an Earth shattering moon. And he's actually excited about it.
...
After 13 seconds of him holding out his phone I look up at him.
"Yeahhh man!! Nice! You could .. put a nice downpayment on a car!"

That's not just millennial, I work for an actual alpha boomer. He started a company, after two successful priors, on a whim; the product isn't even particularly good. He owns 8 cars, a nice house, his wife spends money like crazy, and he drives like he actually wants to die.

I've watched this motherfucker text, while speaking on a phone call, holding the phone up to his fucking eyes, and also reading an itinerary chart at eye level, while driving a van down a highway, swerving across 3 lanes going 80 in a 65.

These people run the world, man. They're absolute retards ... but they're parents were very kind and loving, and so they go out into the world with the expectation that everything they do will succeed.

i was a bullied loner as a kid. started investing at age 13, used all the savings and worked night shift in my teens
fuck that how normies invest, i literally hate investing to be honest just done it because i was alone all the time and didnt knew how to spend all my money and time. if i was a normie, able to actually spend the money with friends and girls I would never get into investing i would have blown it all. the most cringe part about sucessful investing is that you dont have to learn or read that much, you have to develop a boring nittypicker apathetic persona to become good at it which is a huge loss if you ask me. a funny witty persona is literally the most valueable thing and not something you should loose. i have seen people like these throw their money out of the window and it comes back 5x times
