Listen guys. I’m know you’re mostly split between pajeets and scumbags who would happily rob each other blind given the opportunity... but I still dont like seeing people get scammed by kikes. Be very cautious about the nasdaq right now. It’s been green for an unprecedented 8 days with absolutely no catalyst. It’s also been pumping on ridiculously low volume during this period. There’s are credible threats of 230 revocation, we’re in the middle of holiday season (no sector rotation has occurred yet), and covid vaccines are days away from being distributed in europe. There is no reason for this pump. It’s absolutely a bubble and I think the very latest potential burst is the safe harbor deadline... but that’s obvious to normies so it likely wont wait that long. Dont fomo now.

Started in crypto, got my ass handed to me while trying to martingale method the markets, bought chainlink and recovered everything, lurked a lot in the meanwhile and have been budgeting and allocating my income

now once I started playing with stocks, I thought I was overwhelmed and doing poorly, but one day I started trading options and I redefined what "doing poorly" means

and yet here I am... no suicide yet and my net worth went from negative to finally approaching my first 100k. I'm currently NEET

Becoming proficient in anything basically means learning the language... so keep lurking and keep reading just about anything you can. I started following Gregory Mannarino and that's when I started gaining some confidence in at least understanding why the markets move when they move. He's a nutcase too and probably making a lot of people lose money but that's another story. Find a mentor and ride his coattails. That's one approach worth trying

Read Ray Dalio for further understanding. Read his books end to end. And realize, even Ray Dalio will tell you that gambling is a big part of it. Be a better gambler. Do that by getting skin in the game

15k minimum in your brokerage account. Can't even daytrade w/o 25k. But imo the less trades I make the better. Good luck!!!

I'm 6'2 and my gf is 4'7. She's well proportioned though. Like you took a normal girl and downsized her by holding the corner of the jpg and dragging it in while holding shift. Normal person just tiny version. Nice boobas. Pretty smile.

The Fisker Karma was an EV car with an on board range extender engine (it would recharge the batteries only on demand using petrol), basically the same thing LI cars do.

Rich people don’t care for this technology, they go full Tesla for this kind of cars (Model S), but when we’re talking of entry level-mid range EVs for normal people then the range extender is very nice if you don’t live near chargers, this deletes the fear of running out of battery in the middle of nowhere.

Listen up here is my announcement:

bigger nigger alpha males dominate beta bitch white boys in any sexual display of dominance. It is always clear that superior mighty ebony members deserve more praise than jealous faggot white beta males. Niggers have more testosterone, and are more suit to breed with women. I, faggot white boy, will forever yearn for bbc in my hungry ass. I, faggot white boy, pledge my soul to serve bbc cum gods for all eternity. Gay for big black nigger dick forever. Gay for big black nigger ding dong for life. As a true faggot beta bitch ass niggerloving inferior white boy, I, faggot white boy, hereby dedicate the hard work of my caucasian ancestors to forever to please the mighty ebony member that is a giant big black cock. I worship niggerdick as my true lord and savior, and would gladly slurp up yum yum nigger cum any time any where from any big black penis. I pledge my beta bitch ass to alpha male African black sacred seed semen that the superior BBC cum daddy muscle black man will ejaculate into my inferior bitch ass filling my bum with his liquid love. I shall spasm in absolute faggot ecstasy, as I acquire the closest thing to heaven on earth, a huge black ding dong squirting its warm baby batter deep into my desperate hungry faggot ass. All hail large African nigger doinkie dongs for all eternity. May my wife sister mother and other white females continue to be dominated by the sheer lust that every member of the white race experiences in the presence of a hung masculine black cock. May my girlfriend and my own ass get fucking wrecked by nigger daddy cum BBC lord. White boys are all secretly gay for the thought of a thick veiny long juicy black cock that could give our girlfriends way better orgasms than we could ever imagine with our puny pink teeny weenies. All hail mighty African purple penis power
