I have just spend hours learning what the actual fuck even is short selling...

Damn, these reddit guys sometimes can be real crazy...

@LukeAlmighty if you don't know what you're doing definitely don't get in
@LukeAlmighty /r/WSB is fucking insane. if you decide to go in anyway, remember to know your limits and put in only what you can afford to lose (not entire retirement funds like some jackass did).

@pasture
Thanks. I seriously didn't plan on it yet.

I don't even have a good enough 'emergency fond', so I do not plan on gambling too much.

I do plan to buy some BTC, but that will be all for the next few years. I have 3/4 of an economic degree, but contrary to my peers, I know that bubble riding is a pure risk.

Dem idiots at my school teach, how to calculate the "correct amount of leverage" for a businesses. Pure insanity!!! :awooREEE:

@pasture
I especially do not get the "I will bet everything on this" mentality.

Stocks have 3 mathematically amazing properties.
1) they can never go below zero
2) they can rise without limit
3) you lock your wins/loses when you sell. In other words, stock that you hold can skyrocket at any time, but you lose money by selling it when bad.

That is why it seems, that the best way is to wait for a few unstable stocks to go to normal, buy small amounts, and just wait for the next wave.

@LukeAlmighty

It's the ability to bet that a stock price will go down.
