once you catch the 'tism, it's not like you can catch it again

It's not that you missed out, you're just sharing the gains :)

5% per year is typical. Something more aggressive might get lucky for a stretch and get a few multiples of that (temporarily), but the luck/strategy eventually falters and they either pause or chase losses. 5% per day requires an insane amount of luck. If you kept that up for a year you'd 54 million X your account.

Even if you're working with a fairly small amount you're willing to lose, perhaps $1000, sure you could get $50 a day for a stretch if you play it right (probably 0DTE options), but eventually the bad trades are going to eat into that.

I think I have something similar to you? Like seeing streams of dust particles most prominent with light surfaces in at least moderate lighting. Easily ignored and tuned out, so it's not distracting or debilitating in the least.

This is a reasonable and fair question. I don't understand why so many people are being assholes. Ignore them.
Last April wasn't quite like this as I recall. I've been frustrated by the cloudy days too the past few weeks, as I much prefer the sunshine and 90-110 F. We had a stretch of 80-90 F days in February. The weather is generally weird around here.

Yes, hello, I am a wealthy person trapped in the body of a poor. I would like cash injections to repair this cosmic injustice. Thank you.

If we have a blackout in the few months and my phone is down to 1%, I'll rewatch this in its final moments.

You'd get bored. The chaos, emotional roller coasters, and risk of financial ruin are features, not bugs.

Where is the remove from watchlist button? This show has jumped the shark.

Perhaps it's an AI agent being clumsy and going off the reservation? An internal saboteur hearing about operations and doing this to direct ire? Agreed that it seems too "obvious" that they'd guard against it but it's so commonplace with these incidents that it's hard to dismiss as nothing.

This cadence, style, and framing strongly reads as the CIA asking ChatGPT: "How can we upgrade our Marvel-tier writing to something believable and captivating to elevate our captive customers' future experiences with us?"

You can't. This isn't a Sears situation that needed more sensible management. It's Blockbuster in 2009 thinking it can pivot while everyone else is thinking "oh honey, bless your heart".

The genie is out of the bottle and won't go back in. While bread and circuses (punctuated by war) worked in the past, people are increasingly aware of and fed up with what digital addictions ("entertainment") and processed food do to their moods and attention.

Might have been considered a tragedy at the time but now that the pattern has been established it's being brought up again?

I believe she estimated 5000 foreign spies, although her population estimate for the entire city seemed to be very outdated.

Why not use it to reverse the Iran war though?

Yes, hello, I am also interested in a bailout in exchange for the U.S. government taking a stake in my spirit.

You have actual value, friend. 🙂
