$IGV "I think I was wrong about a few things, but one in terms of the speed: the economy just has so much inertia. People keep doing the same things, buying from the same company, wanting to use their tools the same way." https://t.co/YZQpZZU8Qw

$TENX needs a symbol change... Went the wrong way.... $13 to $1 in one day on weak phase 3 data. Respect to biotech investors who take on this type of risk to try and nab the "next one." Truly an expert's playing field. https://t.co/9DVIpuSWuZ

I don’t usually invest in real estate stocks. But @jeremie0117 pitch on $CSH.UN.TO ( $CWSRF) is enticing - buys properties from Cos. who overpaid, maintained low rental rates to ensure occupancy and need to sell. Chartwell pays below market prices and raise rents. @AurelionRsch https://t.co/WTUcqa06nu

A rhetorical thought experiment: Someone was all in $GME or $AMC stock on Jan 1st, 2021. They sold all of their stock right near the top. That's +1,600% for $GME and +2,500% for $AMC. They simply did nothing for the next 5 years. $GME guy still has a 65% CAGR, $AMC guy an 80% CAGR. These skilled investors?

@davey_juice What did we learn from the all-in $pdd guy crashing out? Not much, apparently.

@FrenchV33921 Those are the ones that hurt. Mine was $MNST when it was HANS. I owned it during their early energy drink launch days. I sold it after a quick 2x after the CEO told me, “we got this new energy drink, but we don’t know where it’s going - or if it’ll even be successful.”😂😂
