if you have 4k to blow on the stock market
'no'
you shouldn't make a living doing this
in all seriousness congratulations on your first successful trade. I remember when I made a few hundred dollars trading silver back in 2010. It was fool proof, the company had just acquired several mines worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and I got in early. It was beautiful and I was on my way to glory, until the next week when the stock dropped 50%. It was $800, easy lesson learned. I didn't start trading options until I had been in the market for 6 years. If you play around with 8K it might be a bit of a harder lesson learned. Unless you're just fucking trolling here which I expect everyone is on this sub. GL HF and above all else just yolo the fuck out of that 8K
## Speaker_1: ##
I'm staying away from gold & silver. Too volatile. Retail is where it's at right now.
## Speaker_2: ##
Says who? Tf kind of research are you looking at????
## Speaker_1: ##
Look at the world.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Let's look at the world. There are organizations using software far more sophisticated than you might think on hardware that has less latency to the trade than your PC has to the router it is physically connected to 6 feet away. These people are using algorithms to make decisions and execute trades faster than you can read the headline on a news article they just based a trade on.

Why are you guys crashing the global economy over an election that is still weeks away? Explain yourself, my calls feel personally attacked.
## Speaker_0: ##
Long story short we haven't been able to vote for the past 5 governments, we voted 3 months ago, chose a government but cuck merkel doesn't like it so we'll have to vote again. As always cuck banks dumps italian bonds on the market when they're told to
## Speaker_2: ##
Angela Merkel dictates your elections? Wtf? You’re just being sarcastic right?
## Speaker_0: ##
Wish I was sarcastic. In europe everything goes the way germany/ecb want. Just look at what happened to Tsipras and you don't need any other proof
## Walls1337bot: ##
We in germany just dont want to bail you out, because you are spending your money like there is no tomorrow. You guys need to stop whining like a bunch of faggots and start fixing your homemade problems like bureaucracy and spending more then you actually can. Stop blaming other states for your country’s failures.
## Speaker_3: ##
homemade problems? you understand the design of the euro and the macroeconomic consequences that come along?
also from germany here, but that attitude most germans have is terrible, you understand that germanies growth the past 20-30 years is only due to "weaker nations" dragging the euro down so exporting countries profit
in now way is our bureaucracy and spending significantly different
faggot
## Walls1337bot: ##
So we had the euro for nearly 30 years now?
I do understand that our currency is rated lower then it normally should be (at least for us Germans), but if other country’s did their homework like we did (agenda 2010) they wouldn’t be in this mess.
EDIT: and also our bureaucracy is way more efficient then the Italian one and that tells you a lot

I'm torn. I'm at a point where I could make some serious bank in this bull market. I could also lose my ass, so I'm trying to keep a good balance and buy shares on the way up in case my options trades go sideways.
## Speaker_2: ##
IMO with the gains you've made its time to diversify partially out of stocks. Bonds are risky right now b/c the fed might (will) raise rates so you want to wait until after they do that. But look for something else. Hell, even used cars to flip, maybe real estate, or an opportunity to fund a small business for equity.
## Speaker_0: ##
What the hell are you smoking?
## Speaker_2: ##
All major investors own things like venture capital, real estate, etc.
You don't have enough money for that, but smaller things like equity for an llc or cars you can do.
A friend of mine earns $1500/month off a wedding photography company he funded about five years ago with just $10,000. Theyve offered to buy gim out but he wont.
He also buys fixer-uppers ans rents then out, has a property he paid 80k for and invested about 30k now renting for 1.5k a month.
Little things lije that are the next step in diversification byond having stocks in diversified industries
## Walls1337bot: ##
None of these diversification strategies pass my
"Pants Test" .. Eg. "Do I have to put on pants to do it? If yes, then it's a bad strategy."

So if this were to really happen to someone...what happens next? Are you on the hook for 500k for the rest of your life? Do you file bankruptcy? What would actually happen if someone got margin called for money that they have no ability to pay back?
## Speaker_1: ##
You'll have to pay the $500k or minimum margin amount, they'll liquidate your account and position and then come for you personal assets e.g. house, car, investments etc.
## Speaker_2: ##
tldr "sell" everything in your name to a family member and file bankruptcy.
## Speaker_3: ##
That’s called fraud. Buy lube while you still can.
## Speaker_2: ##
if you're smart you backdate a loan agreement and say you transferred them the assets to settle the loan
## Walls1337bot: ##
If you’re smart you’d realize that even paying a back dated loan (besides being fraud) would be considered an avoidable preference if it was made within 90 days of the bankruptcy (or one year in the case of an “insider” such a friend or family member). And the bankruptcy trustee will void the transfer in order to ensure a proper distribution of assets to creditors.

You're 25 and making 330k a year? I feel like a loser now.

I'm skeptical. Software developers get paid very well, but not $330K at 25 with no degree well.
## Speaker_2: ##
No degree AND very little experience.. how do you even get past the HR filter to get the interview?
## Speaker_1: ##
Negotiations!
For real, though, unless you're falsifying your resume, it's hard to achieve that. There is absolutely a shortage of good developers, but I could hire one for $330K with a degree from CalTech and in their 30s
## Speaker_3: ##
Bullshit. Past $200k base comp you're a specialist with an extremely niche set of skills that you've honed over a lifetime. No general programmer, no matter how good, makes $330k off the bat.
## Speaker_4: ##
Niche skills, sure, but you don't need a lifetime of experience, just to be in the right place (small labor pool) at the right time (when VCs go from ignoring your sector to pouring billions of dollars into your paradigm). If you're one of the most skilled people in a field when it blows up from niche hobby industry to getting billions of dollars in venture capital you get can negotiate for heavy checks regardless of experience. Some engineers make 7 figures.
A good example could be self driving cars.If you were someone who was capable of making semifunctional product building models for autonomous transportation like 5 years ago and you didn't totally drop the ball, you are set now. It doesn't matter if you were 22 at the time. It's not a particular hard skill that required a lifetime of skills to develop, but it required an understanding of how a few niche things fit together that very few people had put together (because no one was paying to build things with that combination of tools) and the market suddenly wanted to dump billions of dollars into building those products with a very small labor pool.

For the most part the subjects interested in entering the BoT/CTZ (italian treasuries bonds) with negative returns are the banks, not the private savers. The banks prefer to lose something buying an Italian government bond rather than lending money to individuals and companies, risking not seeing it back, thus worsening their accounts. For example, it is always better to buy a BoT/CTZ with a short maturity, which costs them 0.25% gross per year than to leave the money in storage at the European Central Bank, for which they would pay 0.4% gross yearly, 0.15% gross a year more than it costs to buy the BoT/CTZ.
## Speaker_0: ##
Why can’t they just buy other safe shit like us debt or ally banking? That /pf 1.5% is sounding really good now
## Walls1337bot: ##
I have no clue. I've heard sometimes the demand for such bonds was 1.3 times the actual offer
## Speaker_0: ##
The eu blows my mind. I already hate bonds caz of inflation ruining my gains but to know I will get raped by inflation and still lose money is crazy.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Basically the banks have to pay a fine if they just take the money in the bank itself and don't invest them/give loans to industries or people. This happend due to the fact that the BCE gave money with 0% interest to banks so that banks could give them to industries or people at lower interests rates. Now it happened that banks actually didn't give money around, so the BCE put a 0,4% fine on money that the banks don't invest. Now, since the italian bonds run at a -0,25% interest rate, it's still better for banks to lose 0,25% instead of 0,4%. These bonds are meant to be bought by banks, not people. So yeah, we have to face inflation and can't rely on italian bonds.

Man bought a ticket. Showed up early. Boarded. Was polite to everyone. United overbooks and needs 4 spots given up so some emloyees flying stand-by can be on the flight. Computer randomly selects man to give up seat and he refuses. They had offered everyone $800 credit and nobody took it. Why didn't they just keep upping the offer? They quit after going from offering $400 to $800. Eventually somebody would have accepted a high enough offer. This man was a doctor of all things. Maybe he HAD to be on that flight. Even if it was me, I would have refused. United overbooked. Let those stand-bys miss the flight. They couldn't take a later flight themselves? If not let the airline find somebody to cover their flights shifts.
## Speaker_1: ##
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Standby means you only get a seat if there are any empty!
## Speaker_2: ##
There is another classification for employees traveling on company orders. Positive space are non revenue employees that company will confirm a seat for. "Must rides" are even higher in that they will pull off paying customers to get these people on.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Must rides are more important than customers. These are the people who fly other customers and let them make substantially more money than is lost by bumping other passengers. If they can't get these people to the right place on time it starts a cascade of delays and cancellations that will affect a lot more than four people. It sucks when you are that person who is meaningless, but no one should ever think they do mean something in the overall picture.
## Speaker_3: ##
If they're so important why not book them on a real flight and PAY for their ticket? This policy is just an excuse to screw the passenger while getting a "must fly" to their destination at no cost.
## Walls1337bot: ##

You should withdraw the money from the loan, pay off the loan, then start trading options. You have enough to day trade if needed to exit early.
Start with vertical spreads and stay under $5 wide and you can make a pretty steady income.
## Speaker_0: ##
Can you teach me?
## Walls1337bot: ##
[Mike and his Whiteboard](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPVve34yolHY43YaBegHMzN9WjrTnQfFr) is a good place to start. I would recommend opening a Tastyworks account and load it up with like $1000 once you have the concepts down. I never liked paper trading because I feel like no one takes it seriously because there is no risk. I didn't learn shit until I put real money down. I recommend tastyworks when first starting out because $1 commissions is extremely low and you can get full options permissions from the start (other brokerages you apply for options levels).
Vertical spreads are nice for new traders and with low account balances, you can scale up and down with the width of the spread and can be both bullish and bearish with verticals.
Here's a few articles to read a bit further if you're interested in starting with verticals.

>Options are such bullshit. You basically won $700k in blackjack and kept gambling it all away.
Options should be looked at as no better than gambling.
I love hearing 40x per day the comparison between options and blackjack
## Speaker_1: ##
When people YOLO options and aren't holding stock, it's gambling. It's supposed to be used to hedge not drop nearly 3 quarters of a million dollars on red and roll the dice.
## Speaker_2: ##
Buying a call when you dont own the underlying stock is called a naked call correct?
Now lets say i want to buy 1 SOXL naked call, strike price at 150, expires on Jan15th.
If the stock doesnt reach 150, all i lose is the premium right?(around $500)
## Walls1337bot: ##
No, it's just a regular call. Naked options is when you sell options without stock. Selling an option is the obligation to provide 100 shares of stock (per contract) if the terms of the contract gets exercised by the buyer of the contract. So, if you do not have shares, you're risking a lot more money for very small gains.
When you buy options, the most you can lose is the amount you paid. So yeah, if SOXL was $500 a contract, the most you can lose is $500. You can close a position at any time, so if you lost around 25% you can close it, while if you gain however much in profit you can close to lock in gains. You dont have to wait until expiration to close.
## Speaker_2: ##
Ohhhh okayy that makes sense. What if i sell that contract? Does that make it a naked option since im selling it?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Yup. Selling is inherently more risky since you are agreeing to provide the shares should the trade go against you. Say XYZ is trading at $120 a share, if you sell an option, you are agreeing to provide 100 shares of XYZ. If you do not have the shares, you are risking $12,000 instead, minus credit received for selling the option.
A way you can sell options to collect credit while limiting your risk is entering what is called a Vertical Spread. A vertical spread is where you buy and sell the same stock at two different strikes, so you are only exposed to the width of the spread. I'll link a video below showing what I mean.
[Mike and His Whiteboard - Credit Put Spread](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7QfablpqeQc)
## Speaker_2: ##
So when people here post option trades, they all have 100 shares of that underlying stock?
## Walls1337bot: ##
If they are buying options, they don't need the shares. Most people around here buy. Although, if you do have shares it's actually pretty easy money selling options, which is why I tend to sell vertical spreads on high IV options. When you sell a spread you do not need the shares.
But yeah, most people here just buy meme options hoping to get rich quick. Weekly options (short term expiration, which expire in a week) tends to be the go to around here, which isnt necessarily recommended but can make a lot of money. The trade can go against you hard since the option expires in a few days and you can potentially not recover in your options position. I've had positions lose like 100% in a day or two and you're essentially fucked because it expires that day and you wont be able to recover. I tend to recommend 30-45 days to expiration so that you have enough time to recover if the trade goes against you.

There seems to be a misunderstanding on the side of the SIPC. Calling it a checking account is merely a marketing formality. From my understanding the money you put in your RH checking account would then be invested in treasury bonds. Which would in fact be eligible for insurance from the SIPC. But I don’t fuckin know I’m not a fucking mba
## Speaker_1: ##
Read the article:
>Stephen Harbeck, the president and CEO of the SIPC, tells Axios that he never heard from Robinhood before the announcement, and that he will not insure such a product.
>*He only protects cash which is being used with the intention of purchasing securities. "Money that is doing nothing but earning interest looks like a loan," he says. "We do not protect loans to a broker-dealer."
## Speaker_0: ##
A bond is a debt security brah
## Walls1337bot: ##
SIPC covers securities IN YOUR ACCOUNT like T Bonds. RH holding a security for its own account is not covered. You are a creditor of RH, it is an unsecured loan. SIPC does not cover loans like that. They would cover it if the intention was to purchase securities.
## Speaker_2: ##
Would SIPC insure RH then? If they did thats kinda like RH insuring everyones acct by way of SIPC insuring RH
## Walls1337bot: ##
SIPC covers only for the limited purpose of buying securities. Funds put in for earning interest are not covered.
RH is making false statements that checking accounts are covered when in fact they are only covered for a very limited purpose.
How a firm would make this mistake is beyond me. Don't they have a legal department?

## Speaker_0: ##
So at this important point it can either start going up or continue going down? Got it.
## Speaker_1: ##
At a point in the near future. There are more detailed lines and more detailed TA regarding individual moves. I just wanted to shed some light on this rally and give people a better gauge to hopefully save them some money in the future. I actually called this play yesterday and got told i was crazy :)
Just trying to help I don’t like seeing people losing thousands of dollars by betting against decade long trend lines.
## Speaker_0: ##
We both can draw at the very least 20 support lines on your screenshot that got broken over that period, and 20 that didn't. Why this fact doesn't bother you like it bothers me?
## Speaker_1: ##
I look for points where we saw major moves on the way down rather than all supports. It’s the best I can do.
## Speaker_2: ##
I don’t buy into TA but I’d be willing to read about it. What can you recommend that isn’t pure snake oil?
I feel like everyone’s making up their own lines and you got the Fibonacci guys that lose me completely. On top of that people make wrong predictions alllll the time on twitter. For every opinion you’ve got another guy with a line showing the exact opposite.
## Speaker_1: ##
I’ll pm you a link to a vid series which will give you a great introduction. I don’t fuck with all that extra indicator shit I run just a few and look for signals where lots of things line up.
The mistake people make is trying to justify what they already want to be true. They want to trade this stock at this time so they try and find indicators to support. You can definitely fuck around long enough and justify anything. Whether you let the data lead you or you lead the data is up to you to control and manage.
## Speaker_2: ##
Thanks again! What I’m wondering is this though: what is the fundamental reason for TA being valid somehow? Like in your pic above: you draw a line on the slow stochastic and what I’m struggling with is how that indicator and that line drawn connecting the lows translates to this price being significant at this time? Is it because that’s such a common one that everyone is watching that so it’s a self fulfilling prophecy?
## Walls1337bot: ##
> what is the fundamental reason for TA being valid somehow?
A chart is a visual representation of transactions, and more importantly, a visual representation of human behavior.
Some TA is definitely nonsense. If you ask 10 Elliot wave experts to explain a chart you will get 10 different interpretations, making it not viable as a system. Everyone can at least agree where the 200-day moving average is.
Other TA is definitely a self-fulfilling prophecy where everyone knows everyone else is paying attention to something like the 200-day moving average. Regardless, including this in your analysis is helpful, and ignoring it is unhelpful. It’s a significant point on the map. It’s significant, doesn’t matter why.
A handful of TA approaches have some merit. Generally things that reveal something about universal market concepts like supply and demand. So things like support and resistance zones and price action tend to be helpful in my experience.
With TA you are a detective trying to tell a story that makes sense, to put together a roadmap of key areas. But that’s only the first step. Next you use that map and wait to see what happens. If price moves consistently with the map, you go with it until price is no longer consistent and then you bail.
If you can model different concepts you can get a decent roadmap. You would need TA to show you key things like the current trend, momentum, volatility, and support & resistance. Those will give you a decent picture of the current market.
Then see what price does. If the overall trend is down, and you have a key area (200MA or whatever) with no support for a long way below, and volatility is high (fear, uncertainty), and then when price breaks below that key area, and momentum increases, that might be a good spot to short a stock or buy a put.
There are also good trading practices to follow. It’s true that if you give a good trader a bad system, they will still do okay simply by cutting losses quickly and letting winning trades run. If you can simply make trades while preserving your capital, eventually winning trades will show up just by chance.
A lot of TA is just seeing what works over time and understanding your own psychology. TA gives you some context to hold off your own fear and greed. A lot of profitable trade setups require you to buy when price is falling (or whatever, just something scary), and it’s hard to do that if you’re blindfolded. But if you can see the map you might have a chance of overcoming your own fear.
If you combine TA with good practices like cutting losses quickly, you can make a profit on average. Nothing is 100%, so you need to develop a comprehensive system, like estimating your risk of ruin, knowing your maximum drawdown, and so forth.
It’s amusing to see people on this sub try to use fundamental analysis to make weekly option trades. Fundamentals are useful too, but it says nothing about “when”. MU is going up, but it may be 18 months from now, but your option expires tomorrow. That’s a recipe for losing money.

Makes no sense to me. This company is virtually untouchable with no real rival.
AMD is 100x closer to Intel than then will ever be to NVDA.
## Speaker_1: ##
Su Bae gonna bend JHH over and peg him hard all of 2019. Just watch!
## Speaker_2: ##
Lmao AMD is not even remotely close to taking market share away from NVDAs gpu
## Speaker_1: ##
Su Bae is busy fucking intel right now with Ryzen, she'll still be hard in 2019 when it's Nvidia's turn to get fucked by 7nm Navi. Don't worry, your time time will come.
PS: read recent marketshare reports, Nvidia is already losing marketshare to VEGA. Imagine what happens when they actually have a good product.... nvidia gonna get fucked like they did with the 9700 pro back in the day.
## Speaker_2: ##
I'll give you kicking Intel's butt but no, Sue bae is not doing shit to nvda.
They are ahead by a fucking mile.
## Speaker_1: ##
It will be much harder to beat nvidia than intel in terms of performance, but it will probably be much easier to take marketshare because nvidia is wedded to extremely high margins. They don't want to lower their margins so they will continue to price their new GPUs very very high. If AMD can make Navi perform 90-95% as good as the next 1180ti and price it <$699 they will succeed in taking a lot of marketshare from nvidia. They will still lag nvidia in GM and profits but they have a big opportunity and with nvidia's current channel surplus of 1080s and 1070s they have a good shot IMO.
I'm not bearish on nvidia at all (that would be insane) but i do think they will lose marketshare in 2019 to AMD, however I think they will continue with record profits and the stock price won't suffer because nobody really cares about market share if they have 2x AMD's margins anyway.
## Walls1337bot: ##
They're winning because of CUDA and cuDNN, not gaming. Sure the majority of their profits come from the consumer market, but the projection they are on will put them so far ahead in datacenters that by the time AMD tries to play ball nobody will even want them.
## Speaker_1: ##
Their performance is actually worse in datacenter than gaming. AMD beats them or matches them with Vega in many AI benchmarks. I think you understand this sector less than you think you do.

Median individual income in the [US is around 35k](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_income_in_the_United_States). 20% of that is $7,000. You aren't even capping out your Vanguard 401k with that money, but that 6% match that Walmart is handing out is a damn sight better than the 0% returns your MU FDs are handing out. Might as well contribute the $2100 just to meet the match requirements and throw the other $4900 into YOLO plays. If it fails, you were already broke to begin with. At least your Vanguard tendies are still safe. If it hits the jackpot, just up your contribution to your 401k to offset your winnings and still get the tax deduction.
Say you threw down your 5k on BRK.B 8/10s on Friday and came away with 15k after the bump today. You can throw 60% of your pay into the 401k to max by the end of the year and live off the winnings in your Ally savings account.
Of course real people don't do that gay shit. YOLO the 15k you got in Snap calls and cross your fingers that you're a millionaire by the end of the week. LETS GO!

Walmart matches at 6% are you Fucking kidding me? BRB applying for a job at Wally World.

They match that much because they know most of their employees won't take advantage of the match. You have high school kids who want all of their money now, not in 50 years and you have 80 year old who need the money to pay medical premiums. The few 30\~40 year old floor managers and the women working in the Money Order / Returns line are probably the only people taking advantage of the 6% match. Even then, I doubt many of them are actually doing much more than the 6%.
## Speaker_2: ##
Couldn't you just immediately withdraw it with the tax penalty and still get more money than not doing it?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Probably.
Would require them to know that they could do this.
Administrative hassle is a real friction.

Can someone remind me why we like this guy?
## Speaker_1: ##
Because he makes it immediately clear who the msm listening idiots are, because they keep asking stupid questions like "why do we like this guy" when some actual DD would tell you the media just made this guy a villain to give the normies someone to hate when they wonder why big insurance is fucking them. And you fell for it, good job normie.

You're a real idiot aren't you? In what universe is an astronomical price hike in life saving medication a good thing? Exploiting and finding loopholes in the government regulation of drugs to make a monopoly that gouges people who need it to live is in humane. He didn't even create it. He bought it. Again, you're a fucking idiot, or a successful troll..... shit you're a troll, dammit! I fell for it
## Speaker_2: ##
He raised prices so that the company producing the medication would be profitable. So money could be spent on research, QA/QC, new equipment and salaries for hiring good talent. A lot of the drugs were going to be shelved indefinitely by large pharmaceutical companies because they aren't profitable which was a death sentence to the people who needed them. Yes he drove prices up astronomically but the people who use these drugs have insurance and it's these insurance companies who pay the brunt of the cost
## Walls1337bot: ##
Lol do you think insurance companies don't raise fucking premiums when costs go up?
Jesus Christ the lengths people will go to to praise Pepe shit, shit.

Oh hey it’s me
## Speaker_0: ##
Where did you get your money in the first place?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Same as most other people. Working for it.
## Speaker_1: ##
i don't think i will have made a million in total before taxes before I'm 45-50 years old... forget about being able to like, actually retain any of that as savings. on the up-side, i should hopefully at least be debt-free by the time I'm 30-35... unless I hope to one day "own" a house.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Who knows. I’m 31. Last year I made 850k before taxes. 400 from trading and 450 ish from consulting work but it burned me out.
## Speaker_2: ##
450K from doing consulting? Dude, stop trading and just do consulting. Or never spend more than 10% of your income a year trading. Your consulting work alone is enough to make you a millionaire in just a few years.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Well technically I was a millionaire off of trading alone for a while
## Speaker_3: ##
Here's the problem. Anyone earning 450k will have hundreds of thousands extra so of course they are going to play the markets with it. It looks like in your case you bought options and one thing I learned long ago is that with an option product you can lose 1million just as easy as you can lose 10k.
Humans in general always underestimate the extent of the leverage in OTM calls/puts and become complacent until eventually a market move will make all of their option positions lose 90 to 99% before they even know what happened.
Now after all that chit chat, I say keep making money and then invest it all on some late 2019 $350 Tesla calls once this market bottoms (ie: the FED signals they are "pausing" their rate increases).
## Walls1337bot: ##
I made that last year doing consulting and burnt myself out. That level of income was unsustainable the way I was earning it. I make around 180-220k a year with less stress and that’s much closer to what I earn outside of consulting on multiple projects

Speaking from technicals alone, looks like a uptrend is coming.
## Speaker_1: ##
Charts look like a pretty good fit for a bull trap. Friday had lower than average volume for above average move upwards.
## Walls1337bot: ##
We should be getting a small pullback soon. But I wouldn't short I would just buy the dip.
## Speaker_1: ##
The only thing I am worry about is how the 500 billion in tariffs is going to be played out. That will have the biggest impact on the market. If you are holding cash, I would continue to hold on til that is figured out.

While I think everyone agrees with that, we are not done yet.
Still need a catalyst to drive the market down. And quite frankly, tax reform is going to artificially keep the market up for the next few quarters. Retail spending is too strong right now

Agreed. 2019-2020 is what I am looking at

The cat claims to be 82%ish accurate.

It felt scammy, I didn't get involved, a few friends lost thousands, a couple made some crazy gains. It's not trading, don't fool yourself into thinking it is.

Just anecdotal evidence but when angry birds first came out the theaters (or the one I worked at at least) were ducking packed with families, camps, & all types of big ass groups.
## Speaker_2: ##
Good point. Also, another good piece of evidence, the birds are launched by slingshots, and can fly, and they have already had a couple games where the birds are in space, so Rovio is clearly familiar with trips to the moon.
