Tesla stock has been on a total downward spiral this year. We're looking at a massive 66% drop.

Back in early 2020, it was sitting around $60, then it absolutely skyrocketed to nearly $400 by the start of 2022! Fast forward to the end of '22, and it crashed down to just $123.

I don't actually hold the stock myself, though I do have about a 1% exposure through some ETFs I own. But man, when you look at a P/E ratio of 160... what on earth was so special about this stock that it was trading near $400 at the start of the year?

This whole forum is a mess... just a bunch of frustrated losers with nothing better to do than pick fights over topics they don't even understand, just like you...

Honestly, I'm with you. I wonder who the actually frustrated one is here...

Anyway, I'm loving life under capitalism.

About 10 years ago, I started from nothing, and now I'm doing pretty well...
- bought an apartment (all cash)
- got a solid job (plus a side hustle)
- making good money playing the stock market
- started a family
- getting into real estate

In another 10 years, I'll be a total mogul!!

There's no way I could have pulled any of that off starting from zero under socialism... definitely not...

I love this game!

And how can I just smash my computer when, unfortunately, this machine is literally my livelihood!?
Look, I'd much rather be out working some land, but how is that even an option? These days, if you aren't in retail or trade, you're stuck. Even on this forum, people are asking how to import stuff from China... and honestly, half the stuff we eat is already imported from overseas and slapped under a Kroger label, and we just keep swallowing it down.

Realistically, a person's "active" life is maybe 50 years... assuming you count from age 22 or 24 after all the partying is done. After that, you just grind like a beast. Every single day boils down to:
-commuting to work
-dealing with frustrated assholes
-walking home on the pavement
-eating
-random bullshit
-hooking up
-sleeping

But where’s the spiritual side in all of this? Where is the soul? Has anyone actually stopped to ask if we're really living on this crazy planet just to hoard material crap before we kick the bucket?? What’s the fucking point??

It feels like capitalist propaganda programmed us to just exist for the sake of grabbing more... I wonder what goes through the mind of a capitalist robot at the moment its shell finally breaks. Does anyone ever stop to ask, "Wait, why am I doing all this?"

And you think you have some connection to SPIRITUALITY??

Sounds like you lost that part of yourself somewhere between the womb and the real world.

One time, they actually tried to swap out people's $3.25 values for their own $1.75... just straight up scamming them (and potentially losing out)... but nobody would even dare $1.75 to grab $3.25 because everyone thought it was some kind of setup... 😕

😉 😁 👍

Well, obviously...

Back then, people had no clue that MLM existed, or that network marketing was basically the answer to all their problems.

If they’d known about it back then, they wouldn't have hesitated to trade 100 of their dollars for someone else's 10. They would've realized they could eventually fill an entire bathtub with cash from Herbalife or some other network marketing gig, and then they'd be swimming in it...

I’m guessing this question was only asked so us mere mortals can finally realize the only way to get rich is through some MLM scheme.

So, everyone just flock to Amy Fox97 and MacGregor so they can point us toward which multi-level marketing gig to join so we can finally hit it big following their "expert" advice.

And then we'll just spend and spend and spend.

Once we've burned through everything, we'll head right back to Amy Fox97 and MacGregor for more MLM tips and then we'll get RICH AGAIN!!!!!!

And we'll just go back to spending and spending.............

Man, sounds like pure paradise...
