@formulapepega @angryaboutbikes You are correct. The further you are down the food chain you are, the more you pay. It is a big MLM scheme. Fed, state, local government, investor/landlord, renter. Each kicks up to the man above and keeps a piece except the low man. The investor/landlord takes ALL the risk.

@RetiredTrader_ @angryaboutbikes the government is your landlord

My wife spent an entire year taking on extra work and smashing all her targets so that she could ask for a pay rise, they actually gave her one and then literally 2 days later our landlord put up our rent by more than the raise because he decided it was time to be paid more money

@QullamaggieHQ That's a $5k loss

Q Showing his mistake anticipating breakdowns not waiting for confirmation or letting it hit stop. "Yeah, so mid-January, this was an enormous momentum runner. It came off lows and traded many times its float. If we look at the 60-minute chart, it put in higher lows the whole day. It popped out of the gate for the first hour and a half to two hours, then made higher lows the rest of the day. And then in the last hour, it started breaking out of this range. I anticipated this breakout a little bit. I did 50,000 shares in the mid-1.60s and it popped and just came back into the range. Let's see... okay, and I stopped out break-even. But there was really no reason to stop out with that kind of a tight stop. I should have just kept the recent higher low as my stop, like I usually do. But I felt like, "Ah, this kind of a pattern should have just gone. It's a failed breakout, it's probably going to fade into the close." And it put in another higher low - a perfect higher low - and it just went higher. It gapped up enormously the next day. It actually went a lot higher in after-hours and pre-market. Again, I had 50,000 shares and it went up another $1.60, $1.70, so you can do the math. It could have been a very big trade with a very small risk. Even if I had just kept the higher low as my stop - which I think actually was my initial stop - I just chickened out when the stock came back in the range. I had like a 10-cent stop. I ended up taking my loss for like a penny or so, so I lost like 500 bucks on it. So yeah, that was a very big mistake that cost me a lot of money. Sometimes too tight stops lead you to miss out on the real move, and this was one of those times."

@nirol__ @angryaboutbikes Property taxes are gov. Water and sewer are gov. Power and insurance are regulated by gov. You must be a renter.

@RetiredTrader_ @angryaboutbikes Funny how most of the increases you mentioned have nothing to do with government

@007__Aj @patricia_kooy @angryaboutbikes Most rentals are financed. Residential and commercial.

@patricia_kooy @RetiredTrader_ @angryaboutbikes Mortgage payment... Why the fuck is he renting a place he doesn't even fully own Good way to fuck over tenants if he falls behind on mortgage Also majority of rentals the tenant pays utilities so gas and water bills going up are a non-issue.

@MichaelPBento What do you think will happen when these Trump child accounts go into effect in July? Constant forever bid.

One of the signs that this market is at or near a major top is the sheer amount of people that started trading 5 minutes ago acting on like they know it all offering unsolicited advice to people who have worked a decade or more on Wall Street at investment banks or hedge funds.

@MichaelPBento At this point, I'm starting to believe that the retards are right, and that stock market's going to go up forever.

The Nikkei just made a new ath

@DrugWarSoldier @DissidentMedia Then Walmart killed the malls and the rest of the shops.

@RetiredTrader_ @DissidentMedia Yes, but they stole from local shops and killed tbe downtown in America.

We should have known America was dying when the mall fountains turned off.

@_B___S His poor ears😭

Grandpa Larry is such a kind soul

@hradzka My first rusty POS in 1993 was 9 years old with 120k miles and a new motor. It was $3200. In the 80's $500 cars did exist, but we're rare and on life support. I made $3.05/hr in 1987 and $5/hr in 1993 for reference.

Eye-popping for an older person, because in the early 90s my mom and I went halves on a used car for me, and we paid a total of $3K, which is, yes, around $7K today… except the car was all of *four years old.*

@DrugWarSoldier @DissidentMedia Malls were the #1 Go To spot in the 80's. Pure heaven.

@DissidentMedia We did get Mall music 🎶 like Debbie Gibson. We also had good times, but if only we had our downtowns back.

@charliebilello You can change the fake "market cap" literally by selling one single share for $1000. It's all Fugasi.

SpaceX's valuation hit a record high of $1.50 trillion this month. 3 years ago it was $137 billion, 5 years ago it was $74 billion & 10 years ago it was $10 billion. If SpaceX goes public at a $1.75 trillion valuation it would be the 7th largest company in the S&P 500.

@SmallCapSmarts I moved over to LC

If this really is the end of the fake locates era, that alone is an atomic shift in how small caps trade. Now overlap that with PDT removal and it could get brutal. I’d throw out most backtests here especially anything built on stats or price action patterns, gonna be a completely different market structure.

@short_cap Still no takers?

Who is the biggest furu in the small cap space right now ? We are offering a 250k challenge to take their best strategy’s against our execution engine for 30 days. Any takers ? Live PnL must be streamed to verify returns daily. Call out the furus in the comments . -Yo

@SmallCapSmarts I am taking the summer off

I'm probably taking a vacation until September, letting everyone blow up post PDT. Staying in 5* resorts only, way cheaper than paying these locate fees

There are so many things far more important than money.

@rdd147 History repeats itself...

Koreans have now maxed out margin on KOSPI and are directly going to banks for loans. People that are 60 have never owned trading accounts and now it’s the fastest growing age group entering to buy leveraged semiconductors. Just one article of many describing the madness. $soxx $dram koreatimes.co.kr/amp/economy/20…

We're there...

@KrisVerma88 I am taking the next few months off.

Another tough day in this ridiculous market. Not sure who is left to blow up?

Regardless of the market, and propaganda, I FEEL like I did in 2022 during the recession with costs of everything going up faster than the ability to keep up with them. Every breath is monetized and trades charging $150-200+/hr. Everything feels like we are being gouged.
