  Buying at the all time peak is ALWAY a stupid buy

  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!

  Like playing the slot machines hoping for a jackpot.

  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

        Not interested in Balrato.

        A steam deck is also out of reach for now.

        Thanks for the regs, and I hadn’t check that podcast out in a while. Good reason to get back it!

    Lmao, no surprise to see you defend actual slot machines.

      I’m fairly certain that was meant as sarcasm.

        Poe’s Law. If people like them didn’t really exist then casinos wouldn’t be profitable.
