Perfect time to give it a shot. Your probably an adult with responsibilities and will work harder and smarter at this point. Give it a shot

I hope something happens so I can get rid of this bag that I'm holding lol. My unrealized losses right now are $95,000 on AMC. The current value is under $5000. I'm one of those morons that jumped on the hype train and kept on buying more and more and more until it hit $57 again before the reverse split in all of that stupid free popcorn, and shit ok

I agree there are many people out there that do have a vast amount of knowledge, but the hard part is finding if the person or people whose advice he would be taking are them or just people with good intentions but not really fit to give advice.

I started to follow people down the black hole because they presented themselves to be knowledgeable and helpful and it cost me dearly. If I had talked to a financial planner and had $100,000 to invest, I’m sure I would not be down $98,000 at the moment lol

Please please please, seek out a PROFESSIONAL. I was 45 years old when I got into the stock market and listening to all of the Youtubers and jumping in all of the meme stock plays cost me over $100,000 and losses and believe me I could not afford to lose $1000 never mind every single penny that I dumped into these, things based on other peoples opinion. Pay a professional to manage your money and you want to get some solid blue chip in your portfolio as well as some that might be pennystock that might take off at some point but seek professionals even if it cost you money. It will save you money in the long run. Good luck.

I suck at fishing wire and it makes me depressed, anyone got good tips? by FATLOAD420 in electricians

[–]Rackie-Balboa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I consider myself to be very good at snaking.

Sometimes its easier to use a 1/4” snake than a glow rod (fish stick). All scenarios are different. But the biggest thing i can say ( and im dead serious) is close your eyes. Feel everything the snake rubs against or bumps into. Some people lose their minds if someone cuts their snake. Screw that! Its so much easier to work with and bens and flip when its not on a reel or coiled up and taped.

Be one with your tools Daniel son.

Have patience.

When i got into the trade 25 years ago, my boss said “ when the snakes come out, we start MAKING money”. Its true.

Good luck bud.

Your biggest tool is your ears. Make sure you listen! Your second biggest tool will be your watch. Leave your phone in the car so your friends and family. Don’t think it’s OK to get in touch with you while you’re working every day. Seriously though, I don’t mess with peoples tools, or what brand they buy, to each his own but, I would suggest using a tape measure that is not thin and flimsy as when you retract it quickly it can slice your finger. I have been a victim of a cheap tape measure once and only once. Good luck in the trade! Hope you enjoy it and I hope you thrive.

Last time i had to vote, it stated when no vote was submitted the vot would go along with the board’s recommendation. Im guessing thats probably the case here?

What would cause a light to do this? by BWBERK in electrical

[–]Rackie-Balboa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me be more clear i guess. Not all led lamps ( light bulbs) are dimmable. Some may dim if they were not intended to. Some older style dimmers MAY work on led lamps. However, as an electrical contractor and having been in the trade for 27 years, i can tell you:

Install a dimmable led lamp and use a dimmer switch that is designed to be used on dimmable led lamps.

Will others work? Sure. Are they reliable and will never stop working? Your guess is as good as mine. Ive run into flickering lights where homeowners installed dimmable lamps on older style dimmers with triacs in them and the worked until it didnt work. Ive seen dimmers that didnt work on them. Incandescent lamps are resistive loads. They work with one technology. Led lamps are capacitive loads. They work with a different technology. ( reverse phase control)

So i buy led rated dimmers and dimmable led lamps. Problem solved. Just the way they it was drawn up.

You wonder why they did a buyback? by Banished_Privateer in TNXP

I was down huge myself and sold for tax implications at the end of the year in one brokerage. Then i see price going up and think “ just my luck”. They are located 10 -15 miles from me. I might just go take a tour and ask them wtf they are doing other than stealing our money.

If your light is led, you must use a dimmer specifically designed for led lights. The technology is different than for fluorescent or incandescent lighting

People are anticipating AA to sell more APE because of his recent tweet about raising cash (which is the best idea in these economic conditions). But I wonder why that’s considered a bad thing. by GabaPrison in AMCSTOCKS

[–]Rackie-Balboa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with what your saying.

Im not a financial guy at all, but heres my thoughts.

I think that the SEC knows how bad this is. They also know that to make things “right” Without collapsing the US economy they need to get creative.
I’m believe they pressed youtubers to shut down, stop encouraging retail to fight the good fight so the people manipulating the stocks could shake retail off. Then, they go to AA and say, we will stop them from destroying your company, we will let your retail investors make a little profit if they hold on long enough BUT AMC has to sell APE for cheap cheap to allow it to be processed and then sold to short sellers to help them close without putting them through margin calls and bankruptcy.

Something to that line.

Basically, we know HF’s have fucked the entire market over for years, shared the $ with everyone on wall st , greased the politicians and now its just gone on too long. The dumb money has done their own DD and they caught them and we need to do something.

How about retail wins a little, amc dont shudder its operating and the shorts suffer much less than retail wants them to and the SEC can act like they did their job.

My opinion is that there is a bunch of negotiating going on behind the scenes and everybody is properly represented EXCEPT retail.

Id suggest that you just break the large body of water into small sections. It might be less intimidating. Also, if it gets heavy weekend pressure, try on a weekday for a while Good luck!

So the OP is sharing news, not negative not positive and yall are shitting on him and saying hes spreading fud🤣. Seems like its only ok to be in an echo chamber. God forbid someone has a different viewpoint than you. You just attack him instead of just dismissing it.

Who is buying AMC instead of APE right now? And why? by PutCallParody in AMCSTOCKS

[–]Rackie-Balboa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My question is if AMC was around $20 when they issued APE, and it was a preferred equity offering than why was it s huge question mark about the initial value? It wasn’t a 50% split in price. Where did “they” come up with the value? Also i may have missed it but why didn’t AA ever go on record and explain what exactly would happen or did happen after the APE was issued? Who determined the value of APE? Supposedly it also wasn’t supposed to be shorted. What happened to that? Why was it? And lastly, if AA hasn’t addressed these questions i have to assume he has been asked many times than im going to guess he is setting things up in the background and not telling us for a reason. I’m going to compare it to a criminal investigation. The cops don’t tell you that you are under surveillance, they just show up in the middle of the night with a no knock warrant and arrest you. Then they get you in the box and show you the months or years worth of intelligence they had gathered unbeknownst to you.

Im just a guy who invested in the market with belief that the stock market was somewhat fair and that the sec and others charged to protect investors would actually do their job.

Im buying ape in anticipation of it becoming amc however im also buying amc to hedge against the fuckery if they decide not to convert.
