  No, it wouldn’t. 2k would have been. Buying at the all time peak is ALWAY a stupid buy, idc if it does take off after.

  Like playing the slot machines hoping for a jackpot.

    If you bought NVIDIA at $43/share on September 1, 2023 you were an absolute dipshit.

    If you bought Palantir at $35/share on January 29, 2021 you were a total moron.

    Meanwhile, Bear Stearns at $60 in March of 2008? A fucking steal. Buy! Buy! Buy!

    I always read the prospectus on a slot machine before I put money in.

      I’m curious as to how much casino’s rig their shit.

      MIL is a gambler, a bad one too. I don’t think numbers will help her, but my wife could use them to try to dissuade her mother. At least, deter. Damage control.

      Do you have any documentation?

        You should get her a cheap steam deck with Balrato. Might help.

        Also: Nevada gaming regs for slot machines

        And: Darknet Diaries Jackpot episode

        I’m fairly certain that was meant as sarcasm.
