Social media Average Joe's versus big money players David and Goliath struggles. There was a lot of swings in terms of being happy and then a lot of very depressing moments. I saw the numbers go out by the number I said never seen before in my bank account and go down within five minutes. It was a roller coaster of emotions. I've been following Wall Street. That's for about assaulted, you know, like 89 months already. I fell in love with the community. I was I was liking, seeing how many people lost making these stupid, you know, trades and all that stuff. But at the same time, there's this other side where they were actually doing their research and making lots of money to my ride with Gamestop began when Gamestop was actually gaining traction. The price was like, Oh my God, it went up to, like, 300. Did I put in all of my savings into it? I thought to myself, Well, this is getting so much hype. So at some point I made a post on Reddit saying that Oh, that like I don't my whole wedding fund into the game. Stop what? Robin Hood is an interesting thing because it's just like it's ah brokerage that's aimed at sort of a millennial investor base. Their up is not like the sort of investing up. You'll see it. One of the big brokers. It's much more of a game of FIDE thing on that, then tied in with the pandemic, has attracted a whole different investor base. A. Some point, I guess, so close to being on my wedding, whether I I almost lose it all. And I almost have. I have enough to pay for a honeymoon as well, and then I almost lose it all. I'll leader live to regret getting out too soon and kicking myself for missing the ride where I live to regret getting out too late and losing weight. Too much money. A big part of the story was this sort of David and Goliath feeling that there's a bunch of kids on the Internet who are taking on these billionaire hedge fund managers. After a while, it became into a movement. It's the people against something bigger than us. My investment was $13,000 and I took out $49,000. I got enough for the wedding for the honeymoon, and I got it to the point where I'm like, Okay, look, you don't have to take a gap year off up there graduating from school. You can jump right into grad school. I don't make a lot of money in my job. Especially not where I live. Which is San Francisco Bay area. I booked a total of, Ah, a little bit more than 100,000 and pre tax problem. You know, I stuck with it and then eventually Gamestop right now is doing poorly. And I am not currently sitting at a five k loss. So yeah, the ultimate losers will be the crowd that you know, jumped on the bandwagon later in the game much later than I did.
