He's also the worst trader ever and admits it freely. He's the only person I know that could lose huge percentages of money invested in a giant bull market. He should just stick to his PENN and barstools sports because that is what he excels at. Second worst investor, behind my old man. He had the opportunity to pony up some cash to invest a 1/8 production share in an off-Broadway musical, but chose to pay for law school instead. That Musical - A Chorus Line. When it closed in 1990, it was the longest running show of all time at the time. Same guy skipped a certain summer music festival in 1969 because his summer job was paying double overtime that weekend. Whenever he says "Hey, I hear this company is IPOing" I just stop him and say "A Chorus Line." He knows. That's great. I bought Computer Associates when it first started out and sold it because it split and no one was going to rip me off by lowering the price of my stocks. Me and your Dad should hang out if you give him some money.

Whenever I put the car in "D" sometimes if it doesn't go, I'll have a brief moment of panic then realize the e brake is on! Give it a try. Hate to have you shoveling all that shit all for not!

Dad wanted to be his first investor so his friend said, "Video tape rentals are going to be big and they are cheap stocks right now. The top 2 people are talking about are King of Video and Blockbuster". Dad bought King of Video.

I dumped dishnetwork and Netflix early...to go all in on MCI Worldcomm.
How could you go wrong with a company that was worth $8B but stock was selling in the single digits?

my old man was never an investor, we didn't really have a lot of money growing up. back in the 90s apparently he decided to invest a lot of money he didn't really have into INTEL.
his first and only foray into the market and he made bank. figured he got lucky, don't push it, and that was that.

That's what I need. What company is the Intel these days? What is bill gates gonna use for the digital ID and currency?

I bought NIO at $4.14 a year ago. It has been as high as $66.99 recently. It is a Chinese EV car stock. I am hoping they push it much higher but I am afraid of what will be happening to it.

My Ameritrade account had the article I posted as part of the news for NIO.

My Ameritrade account had the article I posted as part of the news for NIO. NIO doesn't fit the criteria of what they are looking for in a stock. I can't imagine that there is a huge short interest considering how far that stock has come in the last six months+.

Agreed, I just got nervous when I saw the article.

I’m sorry their son died, but how does this case have any merit?
