      No, it wouldn’t. 2k would have been. Buying at the all time peak is ALWAY a stupid buy, idc if it does take off after.

      Like playing the slot machines hoping for a jackpot.

        If you bought NVIDIA at $43/share on September 1, 2023 you were an absolute dipshit.

        If you bought Palantir at $35/share on January 29, 2021 you were a total moron.

        Meanwhile, Bear Stearns at $60 in March of 2008? A fucking steal. Buy! Buy! Buy!

        I always read the prospectus on a slot machine before I put money in. Strangely enough the p/e on these things is amazing, but I never make any money on my trades.
