Semiconductors can fall even harder than Bitcoin 😭
Who said people on X are so savvy? If I hadn’t followed the X guru’s recommendations and had just bought the index like a good little investor, I wouldn’t have ended up with a stock that got cut in half 🤬

A recent practical insight: when selling puts, sell puts on indices—the downside is limited. Use remaining liquidity to buy good companies after irrational post-earnings selloffs.

If someone buys semiconductors, their understanding must be high.
If someone holds Bitcoin, even wanting to be poor would be difficult.

If entrepreneurship earns less than investing in semiconductors and Bitcoin, you might as well admit your mediocrity and lie flat.

Although they have risen significantly recently, crypto and stocks are still cheap, with low participation.

At current prices, you can’t go wrong buying INTC, AVGO, DRAM, and GOOG.

Loss is also a type of transaction cost
Just like a store has to pay rent
You can’t go borrow usurious loans just because the rent is expensive
You should pay the rent and keep operating
Instead of researching the fundamentals, better research yourself

It is recommended that every esteemed Tesla car owner buy at least 100 Tesla shares; otherwise, if this crappy company goes bankrupt, there will be nobody to maintain your software. 🐶
