Did you read your post? Did you ever watch his vlog? The guy did a pretty decent analysis for why he got involved with GME. He did that and encouraged others to join, many who did. Not only did he make himself a shit load of money for himself, he made many others a shitload money. Sure, some people got in too late and got burnt, but welcome to life. I have not seen stats, but I feel pretty strongly that the majority who followed him made out pretty well. The dude does that and you say he has a lack of sophistication and he was lucky, as if he just threw a dart at a bunch of tickers and decided what to buy based on that. He kicked your ass and my ass when it comes to pulling a profit out of the market. I sure as hell am not going to do anything except tip my hat to this guy. Why you can't admire that shows why you are a bitter,baby-boomer,SOB and I have had enough of your nonsense.
1. I read his posts on WSB. 2. I did not see his "vlog". 3. He showed only what he won, and he got lucky on GME. Some would say he was the reason we had the short-squeeze phenomena we did in "meme" stocks. Was he the cause, or was he lucky? We will never know, but in no way did I trash him. 4. Since you have had enough of my nonsense, then I am sure you will no longer reply to any posts I make in my journal, or in any other thread on this forum. Which is not what you will do, because like me, you simply cannot resist typing to a worthy foe of your ideals. Healthy conversation is good for the brain. The fact that you will respond to this post with some smarty quip will be proof of that. And there is a video for that, Stimpy...
Attributing his success to "getting lucky" is kind of a put down, don't you think? Now, Gill would agree with you that of course luck had something to do with it. But at the same time his analysis got him into the right ticker at more or less the right time and he had the courage to go balls deep into that trade. The harder he worked, the luckier he got. He's a smart guy, did his homework, and it was his intelligence and his hard work that allowed lady luck to shine down on him.
Did you actually read his entire thread on WSB during the GME time? The guy played the options, with some off-setting stock positions IIRC. The guy gave no explanations, he gave no analysis. All he showed was his positions! Stat! As I said, I have not seen his "vlog" if he had one. If he made videos while he was IN the positions which explained his options plays, I have not seen them. If they exist, I did not know they did.
Morthole, I do like you and enjoy giving you shit but you got to get it together. Trading is a game about failing. Why are you scared to admit it when you fail? You know who failed before they hit it? Roaring Kitty, Wildchild, Hussein, Joe Biteme, and Fred Astaire. You have to learn from it, pal.
