Excellent! Should we invite them to setup shop here?

[–] THE_MASTERMIND@feddit.ch 83 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Yes definetly they are one of the community i miss dearly in here .

I tried early starting a lemmy instance focused on this. There was about 0 exodus from that community.

https://wallstreets.bet/ was the domain.

WSB without the daily thread just doesn't exist. I'm also convinced that community is 85%+ bots.

In other news, I actually started making money since leaving reddit/wsb.

Can you expand a bit as to why? I wasn't part of it, but saw the same snippets we all saw during the Gamestop shit, and it seemed pretty toxic and a place for naive folks (me if I followed the advice lol) to lose a lot of money.

[–] RandomStickman@kbin.run 30 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Definitely not a place for legitimate financial advice. Not OP but what I got from it is financial memes and some comradery hating rich people, at least at the height of the GameStop craze.

The gamestop thing was a fucking blast, but honestly, I still think Guh was peak WSB.

They seemed to love rich people, few times I was there.

[–] THE_MASTERMIND@feddit.ch 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah they are a riot and its fun to watch. But yeah don't always follow their advice

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Whatever bro. I made a shit ton betting on a goldfish there.

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Whatever bro. I flipped a coin once and it came up heads, just as they said!

After GameStop is when it went to shit. You came at the worst possible time.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world -2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

If GME was your first intro and that caused you to think it was toxic...

if you don't long for days of disappearances and dogs shitting the backyards, I don't think the lifestyle is right for you.

[–] Arcane_Trixster@lemm.ee 21 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Fuck that. Maybe old WSB, not the GME cultists. They can fuck all the way off.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

Yeah, the GME cargo cult is pretty tired, those people don't get it.

I just want to see people losing their life savings after betting on melons having to drink piss from champagne glasses.

[–] STOMPYI@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Brah I'm from MN, i was born for this canoo shit!!!!!!! consider you conaoo 10 dicks now

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world -2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nah fr though, I want to buy about 5k - 10k more shares. Its utterly shitty the bed right now, but I think mid year we'll get some good news stories and see it climb to ~0.25+.

They basically don't exist in the wild, so like yeah, its gonna struggle. Its at least gotta be better nikola, I mean they actually do have a product.

[–] STOMPYI@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

they are literally about to have their first positive quarter, they could have done it last quarter, they have like a billion of cash on hand and showed a 5M loss last Q, i am guessing they are waiting to bust the damn bear case on it wide open, when that first positive earnings comes out I hope all those automatic investing machines make their choices and start this fucking shit show. but i have no faith in RC he is a billionaire taking gambles with plans and personally i find his shit dumb and lacking any virture or principal...

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world -3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yawn. At least tug on my balls if you are gonna blow smoke up my ass.

Shit was fun from December-March of the initial squeeze.. but after that..

[–] STOMPYI@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

hater says what?

[–] CaptainSpaceman@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

May MOASS bless us all

[–] winterayars@sh.itjust.works 6 points 9 months ago

No, no. Let them cook. Let's see what happens before they inevitably get banned.
