  1. ​ @boldCactuslad you have to understand, they don't care about the truth. Just a gotcha. Even when proven wrong, they don't care. It's why I stopped following them. Because, if you trade stocks, you need to know the truth. And Trump, he does something to them, where they can't think rationally. It used to happen to me, but, after they were wrong about the world collapsing 10 times in a row I decided to not follow them. But, other people, they can't let go. They'd rather believe, he's stupid. Something I notice with them is, they really hate accomplished people. Any accomplishment is written off. The only thing they seem to care about is your education achievement, and how virtuous you are, under their weird morality system. That's it. If Elon musk today, invented a new company, from the ground up, live streamed everything, proved he did all of the key work, they'd still make an excuse as to how he's the biggest fraud ever. They have a very good academic sounding narrative to cover up what's honestly just idiocy.

  2. Lol, you didn't figure out already this dude is heavily politically influenced? So many people who engage in the stock market, use it to do politics or news. Not, financial analysis. If you only look at financials, and don't take bs seriously, you have nothing to post. Almost everything doesn't matter. Just like the deepseek stuff. 4 months from now, Nvidia will be hitting new all time highs, and everyone will realize deepseek was nothing spectacular. It's so rare for things to matter lol.

  3. Depends on your objective. I think he believe this stuff. But even if you don't. It's beneficial to hold left wing views. Or it was. Imo, you'll see a shift. A lot of people just hold the winning ideology. I don't think left wing views will be the prevailing ideology, due to academics predicting too many things with certainty, only to be proven wrong. Like, this tariff situation, freaking out, when this is always a negotiating tactic our leaders use, only to have the whole thing resolved in 24 hours, doesn't play well to the public. A lot of these academic types don't understand that what they learned in school, was just someone's opinion. It took me a long time to trade profitably, and the one thing I had to do was question every single thing I learned in school. Lots of ideas are actually idiotic. Others, people employ, not understanding it's far more complex.
