I do this all the time in my reports to execs. If they’re not paying attention to something I’ve been raising, I zoom the y axis in to show big up and down ticks in a visually alarming way. Similarly if they’re obsessed with something stupid, I zoom out and show a much more flatlined and consistent graph so they get the big picture.

Looking at a couple hours of a stock means nothing and is purposely misleading. Zoom out and it’s got pretty good upward consistency.
Posts like this are like the sad ex who can’t move on and just makes up bullshit about their former partner. Let’s move on and make Lemmy better instead of being stuck on making up fake news.

Facebook stock had a notoriously horrible IPO. I bought at open and had friends laughing at me when it went to $18ish. I doubled my position.
Finally sold most of those shares at $475.

Yea now it’s going through fluctuations. When this post went up it was at the peak of the 26th. Either way, we gotta wait this out before jerking ourselves off about a stock crash.

You’re right, I didn’t notice the post was a few days old. I completely agree with you then.
We can still jerk ourselves off the old fashioned way though.

This feels like straight up agenda posting. Posting it to a shitposting sub doesn’t make it any different.

Are we gonna pretend that Reddit doesn’t completely suck ass, in the bad way?

“This post is misleading”

On the other hand, being posted to a shitposting sub doen’t make something a shitpost. Shitposts don’t have to be jokes but just feels like agendaposting, which feels a bit lame in a shitposting sub.

No, everything in here is shitposting.
