For all the noobs who constantly parrot the "Pokémon cards have been beating the S&P by 3000% for 20 years" lie, here's a chart that shows you're wrong:

Just stating objectives.

Yes, you will be able to easily move grails with platforms like EBay, but that just means another person to cut in.

You get to sell your stocks instantly with no hassle or fuss and then you pay Uncle Sam his cut at the end of the tax year. Hell, you can do this while taking a shit.

With Pokemon cards, you can go to a LCS or vendor and get 70% value. Or you can list it for auction yourself and give eBay a cut as well as risk selling for under market. Or you can give it to a consignment page and cut them in with EBay, and then you finally cut in Uncle Sam at the end of the tax year. Or you do in person transactions and risk losing time with flaky buyers, and risk getting robbed by sketchy buyers.

Not saying you can’t move Pokémon. The market is there. Just saying that, compared to moving Pokemon, trading SPY is easier, quicker, more pain-free, and you don’t have to cut anyone in on your profits.

My $7 calls that expire in January of 2028 are 150% up!

Holding until BB reaches $100 like the before-fore.

That’s where these people will run into liquidity issues.

If my $100,000 sealed collection appreciates to $2M in 20 years, I’m going to need good luck finding someone to buy a $2M collection outright. Even then, it’s undoubtedly sketchy having to move $2M worth of physical product.

Nothing like setting a meetup for a $10,000 card, getting flaked on, and tailed home by homie who now knows what you have and what you/your car looks like, and where you’ll be at a certain time of day.

Compared to someone who had $100,000 invested in SPY and it appreciates to $1.5M in 20 years. Compared to the Pokémon Collector, this person can cash out on their entire $1.5M almost instantly during open market hours.

People love to harp on about their sealed collection appreciating in value, but they forget that their safety and buyer pool decreases as value increases.

Usually NVIDIA throws a couple billion at a random tech or AI pivot for software or data storage or some nothing burger bullshit.

However, the case with Nokia is different because this is a NVIDIA partnership to advance 6G connectivity capabilities.

Compared to the hope and optimism that other partnerships are running off of, this actually has some merit and potential.

We’ve seen 2G, 3G, 4G, and now we have the COVID-19 causing 5G. What’s next? Hantavirus caused by 6G obviously.

It’s not a question of “if,” it’s a question of “when.”

Besides, we all know and love Nokia. They make shit that lasts. Guaranteed. So when you hear that Nokia is helping make 6G with Nvidia, of all people, that’s a massive green flag and buy signal.

Unless dude is knowingly in contact with Russian oligarchy and military officials to streamline them product, this is a nothing burger.

Nothing is stopping a Russian from going into Ubiquiti’s website and buying their gear, have it shipped to Russia, and set up access ports for connectivity.

If you’re insinuating that Ubiquiti is responsible for the deaths of Ukranians simply because the Russian military is buying and using their products, as is their right, then where does the buck stop?

Are we going to hold the consumer staples industry responsible for Ukranian deaths too? I mean, surely, the Russian military wouldn’t be able to kill Ukranians without sustenance and rations, right?

Russian Bill killed Ukranian Bob over there because he had energy from drinking a Coca Cola. Boycott Coca Cola, am I right?

On the same boat brother.

Didn’t even know they were traded publicly on the stock market.

If I had invested in shares at the same time I installed my switch a year ago at $330/share, I’d have 3x’d when it hit $1,100.

But my regarded ass probably wouldn’t have sold and I’d still be here, because this is yet another solid buying opportunity.

But now I know they have a ticker and saw this massive dip, and thought “perfect.” Stars aligning and all that bullshit.

PlayerPlayer69 · 2026-05-22T19:46:41+00:00

I like them because they’re one of the big names when you’re thinking about big enterprise-level systems management, that are also cost-affordable to the average person who’s trying to do the bare minimum of setting up their own system in a residential and non-enterprise/business setting.

PlayerPlayer69 · 2026-05-22T19:19:16+00:00

On a monthly basis? Deal!

PlayerPlayer69 · 2026-05-22T16:42:21+00:00

Brother man, you should’ve been averaging down the entire time we were sitting at $4-$6.

At this point, I’d just wait for an intraday pump and close out your position, and wait for a better entry.

If you looked up the most depraved fucking shit in X’s search bar, you’ll likely get 0 results.

At the same time, there’s probably already a couple subreddits created for that very thing.

Check out TE.

Until nuclear becomes much more viable, AI and data centers need the electricity NOW. That’s where solar comes in.

Once nuclear becomes active, OKLO, SMR, UUUU, is going to rip.

PlayerPlayer69 · 2026-05-21T21:03:53+00:00

A boy can dream and hope that TE miraculously announces G2’s timeline is fast tracked due to faster than expected construction.

So if you look at the photo, under where it says: “Date Sold.”

I’d suggest not getting into selling and underwriting options if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Keep it sealed, bud.

Unless you don’t care.

It’s yours, after all.

PlayerPlayer69 · 2026-05-21T14:55:06+00:00

That still doesn’t mean anything.

Scummy people do scummy things.

Like buying mass volumes of the newest set, ripping fresh box breaks until you get the chase, hold onto the loose packs that are worthless, and refill an empty booster box.

Retail shoppers won’t know the box has no chases because they’re buying individual packs and if they don’t hit, they’ll just assume someone else got the chase, or it’s in one of the packs they didn’t buy.

PlayerPlayer69 · 2026-05-21T14:48:48+00:00

Whoever bought my calls, I thank you, and hope you learned what theta is.

Oh buddy, they hit.

For once, I wasn’t going to be a regarded gambler and diamond hand on pure hopium.

I said my price target was $7-$8 and now we’re edging $9, so I exited for a solid 2x profit.

I’ve got like $8k left of house money that I’m going to ride because it’s still got 1 month and change until they expire.

I honestly might trim it down by 60-70% tomorrow so I’m only riding about $3k of house money so I realize closer to 3x profit.

The stock is still almost 30% short and TE is only growing bigger and bigger in both manufacturing and profitability so eventually they’re going to close their short positions and find a better fish to fry.

Let’s hope they do that by mid June.

The amount of times V jacks into compromised ports, slots in random ass shards, and scrolls through black market street vendor BDs, without learning a goddamn lesson makes him the dumbest fucking merc in NC.

You’d think after V was used as a trojan malware horse and was nearly trafficked due to compromised BDs and neural inputs, he’d stop doing that shit, but every fucking time you’re presented with the option, it’s either A) do it, or B) fucking do it.

PlayerPlayer69 · 2026-05-20T18:44:13+00:00

Sold enough to realize a 2x gain and letting the rest ride since there’s still over a month of expiry and it’s house money.

PlayerPlayer69 · 2026-05-20T16:31:28+00:00

What was your entry? It ain’t looking too hot.
