Following the momentum from companies like Ine and HT, there was this massive investment stampede that drove prices up to somewhat unrealistic levels. This essentially pushed the entire market into a precarious spot; if the funds had continued to fuel that fire, we would have seen even more euphoria, leading far more people to dive headfirst into the stock market, which inevitably results in much more heartbreak than what we're seeing now.

If you take a moment to look at the trajectory of the Nasdaq from '97 until today, it becomes clear that the market didn't just spontaneously appear six months or a year ago—that's when most people jumped into stocks that had already seen 10x gains, all in the naive hope that they’d keep climbing at that same rate.
Do fundamentals play no role here? Of course they do, and they are precisely why we saw such significant growth, but the problem is that most investors only showed up once those fundamentals had already reached their peak.

Now, some investors seem to think they can practically blackmail the funds—buying up shares only to dump them back onto the funds at inflated prices, forcing them to use their own capital to buy them back again. It sounds like a perfect financial perpetual motion machine where everyone wins, provided we had someone like Marshall sucking up enough cash from the USA to patch things up every now and then.

excellent🤣

No... what does that actually look like? 🙂 Haaaaaa??

Thanks, truly 🙂 I’d certainly ask a beautiful woman for help... do you happen to know what that procedure actually looks like? 🙂

🙂 Anyone here?😢

I appreciate the sympathy..😍 How does it look from your perspective, and what’s Dad saying? Any idea how long this will last?

Hello everyone. 😢 I am feeling incredibly anxious right now. My mother is scheduled for surgery to remove some polip on her vocal cords in about three weeks. Naturally, they told her it must be done under general anesthesia, which requires several preliminary tests first. To start with... does anyone know what this procedure is actually like and what the specific risks are? Her biggest fear is the general anesthesia itself; she’s never undergone it before, nor has she ever had surgery—though I have, and it was quite difficult for both me and my grandmother to wake up afterward. It didn't help that while filling out the medical history questionnaire regarding chronic illnesses, smoking habits, and lifestyle, she read through all the listed risks, including death as a potential complication. Honestly, I am terrified alongside her. We are both spiraling, worrying whether she will simply wake up or if something will go wrong. It is overwhelming. Does anyone have access to statistics? Specifically, what are the mortality rates associated with general anesthesia in cases like this? Please, 😢 Because of this intense fear, she would rather skip the surgery entirely to avoid the risk, but I know it is necessary. She hasn't had any major health issues until now; she used to smoke, but she quit a month ago, and she is in her forties. So, I am looking for statistics and any insight into how the procedure works, as well as how anxiety might affect anesthesia. If anyone has personal experiences to share... Heeelp! Thank you so much. 🙄

Caught me off guard again. 🙂

So, did you end up going in for the biopsy (because of the inflammation)?

I've never really had issues before, but for the last month or so, there's been this constant light stinging and a dull sensation in my lower abdomen. It’s not intense or anything scary, just a persistent tension and those little sharp stabs.🤔
I have an appointment with Ginić soon, but today the stinging feels so strange that I'm starting to get a bit worried. I can even feel a bit of that cramping pain.
I don't have any other symptoms—no fever or unusual discharge. My period arrived right on schedule, too.
I'm wondering if this could be related to my colon.🤔>
That dull ache reminds me a bit of the soreness and weakness I usually get right before my period, so that's why I'm making the connection.
Has anyone else experienced something similar? Is it possible for ovarian inflammation to manifest this way?

Maybe it was just early appendicitis... I had those exact same symptoms once.😍

☕ Well, look at that. We even have celebrities among us 😂

@virginiaclem Just smoke three joints every day, take your six Advil, and LISTEN TO MUSIC. You won't give a damn about anything else. Sure, you have depression or anxiety and spend your time overanalyzing everything, but according to Bayway, everything is curable. Too bad people actually have to live with much more severe disorders. Who cares about medication or professional help that could significantly improve your quality of life and eliminate your symptoms!

I honestly lost it laughing at this 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 - yeah, I'm right there with number 5😍
