hi again I discovered this thread on the forum here. I choose to ask a humorous question because I don't feel my best today. Which trade meme is among the funniest you've ever seen? Mine is this. )
The best trading memes are on r/WSB (Wall Street Bets on Reddit). They love to make deepfakes of Powell saying "Fuck your calls/puts" especially during the FOMC Q&A sessions. I remember during the real estate bubble of 2021 there was a guy on TikTok who kept leveraging his apartments so that he owned like 1000s of them and then the interest rate hikes came and basically bankrupted him.
%% ONE of the funniest was the sarcastic comment by a Jack Schwager top trader. WHEN he was younger , he went to the dog track; and could not understand ''why all the other gamblers were so stupid not to bet on the dog with 100 to 1 odds against that dog ??'' He lost + did some more research + found out why. {Not that trading-investing is gambling , but more research helped him very well later in life}
There have been some obscenely funny ones in WSB over the years (as noted above), but it's hard to dig them back up. There are some recurring hilarious themes, such as the financial priorities of parents/grandparents juxtaposed to those of millenials that started trading post COVID.
%% I remember a dog track ad from my childhood, but never did buy into that ITs fabulous fun\ watching them run\ @ So..........Greyhound Park. [I dont want to give them free ads; i do remember the name ] Interesting ,that ad never promises a profit , its presented as fun, related to the word funny
%% Hi again [play on words ina SPY up trending bull market]; TRY not to sell or buy ALL @ ONCE, that'$ the only sure way not to sell @ bottom or buy @ top; Master Swing Trader[Alan Farley book says ''they see you coming'' Really\ they see you trade thru your computer?? LOL not exactly; but so many use a don channel, open Hi low, close...... it feels like they saW you[or any] coming. But stock market is a lot like shooting ducks or game birds, they see you swinging sometimes + dodge. If i tried to live off shortin' sinking stars or shooting stars[falling]I may starve I dont feel bad about that/ so few bear funds . I do like the orderly star move / sunrise,[ noon] \sunset.....IF only the market pattern was 100%like that , helpful but not exact
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Timing is indeed crucial,While patterns and indicators can be helpful, the market can still surprise us. It's like shooting ducks or game birds—they can sometimes dodge our moves.
%% Good points, good %; single shot shotgun is a super safe way to start. Most all graduate to a double [2x] or 5 rounds. Or for targets+ tin cans, i like 22+/ rounds on 00.22, or 8 more or less rounds on 00.38
