This is just sad

Imagine being in an abusive relationship with a fucking stock lmao

Replace tesla with "the sun" and instead of Twitter it's a priest explaining to a pharoh they're doing everything they can to appease Ra.

Hey man, at least the sun is real and worth something to life!

Cargo cult lmao

cargo cults imitate an example of something that actually happened, these guys don't even have that.
Cargo cult
- Carnotgo cult
I kind of hate this term. it originates from the US/UK withdrawal from Polynesian islands after the local economies had been warped to depend on food shipments via plane. when people started starving, they tried to replicate what they observed as rituals associated with the arrival of planes - bright yellow vests, reflective rods to signal where planes should land, etc.. desperate people did something desperate and I hate that we denigrate them for it.
the military bases on relatively small islands decimated the local flora and fauna. we commandeered their boats during the war and deforested the islands so they couldn't build more boats to go fish. calling it a cult of any kind is utterly bizarre and it shifts blame for the tragedy onto the victims and allows the west to mock them for it. we inflicted famines because we didn't view them as fully human. we didn't even do it intentionally - we gave literally no thought to them or their continued existence. and we memorialize those dead as "cargo cultists" - because it's their "barbarism" to be blamed and not the withdrawal of an empire.
- Not op but:
  Never heard it explained like that before. Very good comment. Will find a better term in the future.
It's more like gamers complaining that their favorite game doesn't get a new update precisely every three months.
Except, these are armchair investors complaining that the market evaluation doesn't correspond to their "faithfulness".
- It’s more like gamers complaining that their favorite game doesn’t get a new update precisely every three months.
  Playing Skyrim would cure them from that.

this is like reading one of those accounts of "how Amway ruined my life", but right before the author realizes it was a scam all along and all that effort they put into it only served to destroy more lives.

anyway, strengthPlan more like weakPlan. boom, gottem.

Why number not go up? My very normal and based in reality life depends on number go up

I've been dutifully putting money and time into brand loyalty regardless of how the product or the CEO perform, why am I not making money?!

M'LORD, M'LORD THE CYBERWAGON LINE GOES DOWN

material conditions? pah. history is shaped by which side focuses their spirit energies better

Goku got 100,000,000 Zeni and killed god, so I'm inclined to believe this.
- See i told you all that he's dead

Im terribly grateful to you m’lord for selling me this golden goose, and I believe very much in it, but Sire the thing is, the golden goose you sold me, well it isn’t laying golden eggs m’lord.

Still love the goose though.

At least geese are still cool even if they don't lay gold eggs.

this is even worse than the normal religious belief of the unknowable rectitude of the market, this is a child praying for divine intervention without any adults or religious figures to temper their expectations

not a cult though

Tesla Bears?

In gambling terminology, "bear" and "bull" refer respectively to thinking that a bet is bad or good, so a "tesla bear" would be someone who thinks that "tesla will be more valuable in the future" is a bad bet
- How did I play New Vegas for over 1000 hours and never figured this out?
- i assume it gets into gambling from stonks bear and bull markets but stock markets and gambling are kinda the same so it's possible it's older in explicit games of chance

Should've given that money to a mega church instead

You're in a cult. But all you'll lose is your comfortability. Which is better than most other cults.

(Not to @Lovely_sombrero@hexbear.net obviously)

My ~~apes~~ stocks all my ~~apes~~ stocks are ~~gone~~ worthless!

we fight Tesla bears

The soviet union from Red Alert 3 attacks

Diamond hands!

So if I had shorted tesla stock like 3 years ago does that mean I'd have money now or would I have had to invest like a lot of money to get anything from this?

To make money from stocks you need a lot of money to start with
- Or be really insanely lucky with timing, like how I almost bought $1k of bitcoin in 2009, or how my brother almost invested in Tesla same year (we were almost lucky)
- Or do insanely leveraged bets that will lose you everything or evn more than you put in 99.99999% of the time
The problem with shorting is that it's an expensive position to maintain, so you have to get the timing bang on or you can lose potentially infinite money
- I see I see. I have a very finite amount of money, unfortunately
If you bought the correct put options, you could make a lot of money. But timing is everything, sometimes there are no good news for Tesla, but the stock shoots up by an entire Ford market cap in a day anyway.

makes you wonder who’s being taken for a ride?

How much Tesla news is there on a daily basis?
