@IKeepItTaco Idk what your like, minimum threshold is but I'm just getting started again and would be interested

Yoo going to gauge interest here for potential new clients for investment advising when I ramp up things later this summer. Read this only if you want to grow money through investments otherwise it'll just be boring finance talk. I'll be making these types of posts every now and then. I've been hyperfixated on stocks since highschool in 2012 when I took my first economics class. I picked Nvidia/AMD/Tesla/etc in 2012 for my school project and invested in 2015 heavily into Nvidia ($0.78 cents) + AMD ($2.78) (Screenshots in replies) once I was able to open a robinhood account. Any money I made from selling candy in highschool, trading items on CSGO/TF2/Dota 2, or early 50 viewer streamer days income would go into these stocks very early. and ofc all money I made when I blew up in streaming went to stocks too. For example: The best performing mega cap stock this year is Sandisk which is up 235% and is currently $920. I bought it in October when it was $150-200. Lots of stocks + CALL options. I made a fuck ton of money and so did friends & family. Investing is like finding OP Meta builds in league of legends before everyone else jumps on the boat. You abuse being in early and cash more LP than anyone else. (Screenshot #3). Also invested in 10 of the top 15 performing stocks this year, except I bought them last year. (check replies for receipts) I stream for a week or two every few months at this rate. What made me pivot to put streaming back as a hobby and focus on this? The more I learned how the inside of banks and brokerages work I realized they're just glorified fee-farmers and they don't actually do research to give people the best return on investments (obvious I know but I didn't personally expect the bar to be so low at the time). I wanted to help friends make smart choices with their money because I already knew a long time ago how fucked things would keep getting over the years and slowly more friends wanted to invest because they realize content creating or pro play or normal jobs dont last forever. This is my biggest passion and I do it for the love of the game so it's a perfect combo to help people and make it a living. I told a couple of them to sell before tariffs were kicking in because it was very obviously a terrible idea but last year their banks were telling them NOT to sell. The ones who listened to me over the banks sold near peak levels then re-bought all their stocks 20-50% cheaper because of the april tariff crash. They ended the year with a 60-120% return (This is extreme and not normal, just keeping expectations real). And friends who over-trusted banks ended with a 14% return (still good ofc). But, you can see the massive difference between someone who is trying to get you the best investments in the market for late game vs someone who is treating you as cattle to farm fees and afk. One of my friends told me back in Oct/Nov "My JP Morgan advisor is telling me to buy Coreweave at $90 because of some nvidia partnership in the news" so I asked him "Is that the only thing he based his suggestive off of? Just a news headline about nvidia?" and my friend said "Yes". I told him "I bought coreweave at IPO for $40 and I've kept an eye on them ever since Nvidia invested $100 million into them in 2023 via private investments". So, if his advisor was actually doing his job he would've known coreweave was at an insanely cheap price when it IPO'd last year instead of buying it purely because "nvidia announced a big partnership recently in october". Not to mention coreweave isn't a stock you want to hold for years and years due to an AI correction in 1-3 years from now, but the bank definitely won't tell them because they won't see the signs till it's too late as usual. AI is a bubble but also not a bubble. Some of these investments will be good to hold forever and some of these you will only want to hold for a few years before things get reset/corrected/crash. I make sure people know this while most investors think everything AI related will go up forever and ever cause we're in a "golden age of AI". Google for example is great to hold for the rest of your life. But something like Micron isn't because eventually memory will go from "severe shortage" to "severe oversupply" in 2-3 years from now and that'll be the time to hop off the boat. It happened it happened to micron in 1996, 2000, 2024 and eventually again maybe in 2028-2029 range. In league terms a lot of the people who manage investments right now are washed up season 1 challengers and I noticed a majority of the super successful investment advisors were younger like me and they're comparable to season 14 challenger players which is a big skill gap. Being younger gives a huge advantage because you understand the technology and changing macro better than old people who are used to things from 20-30 years ago+. They also dont rly have drive to give amazing results since they have big cushion salaries already. Investments and the stock market is just one big competitive game of theory crafting what companies will be meta in the future and what assets and which ones will fall off. If any of you have watched my jhin before you'd notice that I'd do the same pattern with jhin builds in league since he released. I started small and slow working with friends & family first because most of them had enough capital to work with in the range of a few hundred thousand to a few million and they already trust me because they've seen my results over the years and feel comfortable with it. Now that I don't feel "rusty" anymore, I'm branching out to see if there's people here who are interested. Average return for friends & family landed around 45% last year, 2025. For Summer 2024 it was around 65% (small sample size, only 8 people). Lowest was 25% last year because they started late in the fall and the highest was 110% because they bought a fuck ton during the april tariff crash. Screenshot #1: This is my aggressive "fuck around" account. I trade a lot of options. I dont give this to clients. When I posted on twitter on Nov 6 2024 the account was at $86,000. Nov 6, 2023 the account started at 10k. A year and a half later the account is currently at $510,333 thanks to options I took heavily into Sandisk, Seagate, SK Hynix, Samsung, and WDC. All memory stocks. This is INCREDIBLY risky, but I am someone who is confident in my own track record so I am willing to go heavy into my decisions. Some people back then threw shade in the replies because they said I was only good as a streamer, but I only became a streamer out of chance. Becoming a streamer happened cause it's a hobby, it was never my #1 passion or skill. I dropped out of a top 20 business school UNC Kenan-Flagler cause the opportunity cost was better to earn big money in streaming and invest it rather than graduate with debt and work under an most likely incompetent boss. I also felt they wouldn't teach me much because I've self-taught myself a lot since middle school and the school would be more for "degree clout" than anything. Screenshot #2: This is a more stable account. The red line was when I started to actively focus on the market last year realizing this is what I want to focus moving forward. This account is only using stock, no options. It was down 20% at some point because of Trump vs China in Oct-Nov and Yen Carry Trade. It's since recovered and deep in the positive now. Investing in tech companies early means you have to be ok with it going down before it eventually gets noticed by wall street. Older people called me dumb for nvidia and amd back in 2012 and 2015. "They just make useless graphic cards for gamers" while none of wallstreet was noticing or researching about AI. I rly got deep into learning about AI when I saw them use a BIG PC rack of 5 graphic cards in a Dota 2 tournament to shit on pro players with a full AI-team LMFAO since I was a dota 2 player b4 league. The two screenshots are examples of how I personally invest and show I know how to invest in bangers early. I get extremely high returns because I'm aggressive and high risk-taking overall. For clients I give them much slower, safer strict versions. I could type more on everything but, I'm already at 50% of the cap on twitter now. If you've gotten this far and like what you've read and want to learn more details to potentially work together then you can send me a message in dms or reply below and I'll reach out. There's a limit on how many new client I'll be able to work with as I want to focus my time and attention to get high results for everyone. Having too many clients will make that difficult and might affect my results. Average baseline return I aim for is 20-30%, but often overperform. I try to keep expectations low and realistic so any overperformance is a bonus and cherry on top. And ofc nothing in life is 100% so I need to remind people that Investment involves risk. Past performance is not a guide or guarantee to future performance. TLDR: Looking for new clients for late summer in investment advising. I've had rly good results last year and this year. Also I have a solid track record over the decade as an individual investor since 2015. I'm a full-time investment advisor now instead of streaming fulltime (it's why I've been gone for so long). I want to slowly increase the client count I work with so I can focus on each person's portfolio with high attention, care, and deliver good returns. If it's something you're interested in for summer then you can DM me on here, reply in the comments, or msg me on discord.

@iSpecialHero @MarathonDevTeam @MarathonTheGame @asalisbury Oh. Thanks. That's like, the entire reason I've had one on my long range guns lmao

Mini Jammer Chip mod DOES NOT hide you from enemy thermals! Only the signal jammer consumable does! 👀 (this was tested with the purple mini jammer chip mod) @MarathonDevTeam @MarathonTheGame @asalisbury

@Gothalion I'm not sure but I'm less upset about them trying to vacuum the supply than I am about the companies letting them. It'l be a shame when people go back to buying ram from the companies that abandoned em

Is there a viable class action against Open AI?

Decided to take the gamer Twitter approach for my dinner today. I had a KFC, which we enjoyed, but told the family we couldn't enjoy it because their stock is down 7% this month and the queue was only 3 cars long.

@PopBase @destiny_thememe

Today is Purple Day.

@MacticsG1 And genuinely even if he had to 3 shot him with the knife that fight doesn't change at all. Mans was caught out he coulda killed just as easily with a gun

Maybe a hot take idk but i think if someone manages to gets close enough to you without you noticing to be able to heavy knife attack you twice you kinda should die no matter what your gear is

@hutchinson Unironically a pve mode of some sort would bring in a larger audience I think. I get not launching with it but the AI is interactive enough I think it could do well

There is so, so much potential for this game to expand its player base. The tension and rewarding feeling created by the gameplay loop is unimaginably addictive once you get acquainted with the systems. Sony should double down and have faith in the product. Glad to see this.

POP THE BUBBLE! POP THE BUBBLE! POP THE BUBBLE! POP THE BUBBLE! POP THE BUBBLE!

There will be no WW3. They've abandoned numbered releases and switched to a live service model with seasonal events.

@MTashed I've only played solo and I average about 3 kills a game. All are prey for Arachne, passive or not they will be found

Played a lot of solo today. Some PvP fights were definitely fun. But everyone is so passive and nobody risks anything. I think marathon trios are overall way more fun engagement wise.

@Hive_Thrall If you get them elsewhere on the map you can drop them and pick em back up in the specific zone :)

idc about most contracts, theyre fine, but any that are "loot this super specific type of item in a poi that you spawned across the map from" annoy tf out of me because everything is picked clean in the first two minutes of the run

@destiny_thememe @artificial0wl And purple 👀

@artificial0wl Thats how im envisioning a gantry piece too but hes literally the antithesis of my pixel-level perfection mindset☠️☠️

Me being MIDA means that i'll have to, eventually, draw _gantry and the mere thought of that is doing this to me

@YGG_RVT @Relaxed008 If only there had been a free demo period! Some games do server slams I wish marathon had tried that

@Relaxed008 Not wanting to spend 40$ to try a game that you're not inrested in = moron. Yeah bud keep telling urself that to sleep.

Yeah I can confidently say Marathon is great game and there’s a lot of morons who should’ve gave this game a chance but instead are missing out on a truly great FPS. Outpost is so good, and crazy to think there’s still 2 more zones and Cryo Archive to explore. Along with so much story, contracts, and upgrades to flesh out. You’re not gonna kill a game that’s this good just by a forced hate mob sorry.

@destiny_thememe The fear is good for you (in small doses)

Im watching a walkthrough of RE9 (not playing this shit im scared okay.) and Grace is just in A Situation. Cut to black. Leon shows up with his fuckass background music

First day on the job.

@waythisis This isn't halfway yet? 🥲

It's a great detail that we can see Grace's character development throughout the game as she confronts her fears through changes in her weapon handling stances. I'm not even halfway through the game yet and Grace's character development is already amazing.

@theadafiles I killed everything as grace Leon was bored 😭 my action breaks are like 5 minutes while grace screentime is 10x lmao

I loved it when I switched to leon in the care center and I got to kill all of the zombies who wronged me as grace
