Pretty much everyone is bad at picking stocks. You should just stick to index funds.

But those retards won big with GME. I can HODL as well.

I'm really not sure if this is sarcasm. I think it is, but I've heard people say stuff this ignorant and actually mean it.

Nah it was sarcasm. The whole gme thing was like one in a million shot. I was subbed before the whole thing took off and thought they were just kidding and not actually buying it.

I have an account that I gamble with, it represents anywhere from 1 to 5% of my total portfolio, depending on how good or bad my bets are. Lol

But any time I've taken a yolo bet like those, it's failed miserably. However I've never made big bets on things like that, it was always just for fun. But I also recognize how dumb it is which is why the vast majority of my investments are in index funds.
