@every_daydad I still think that you took my Robinhood tweet 110% too seriously. But there I fixed the tweet. I still don’t think the criticism was accurate but I can see how it might come off and so I corrected it. I’m not above acting on criticism even if I disagree with it.

Like I said its not my advice and I'm not the one that has to live with it. I'd probably wait on giving financial advice until we see how the markets react to the President of the United States contracting a devastating virus.

Yeah tbh buying individual stocks isn't an investment strategy, it's gambling. It's fine if you know that going in, but suggesting otherwise is irresponsible.

I've never suggested otherwise. But I think the gambling analogy, while popular is overplayed. The simple fact is that if you have an understanding of what you're looking at you can make educated assumptions. That's not the same as relying on luck.

I guess my problem with it is there is no way you can know more than the execs at those companies, and if you did, that would be insider trading. The fact that insider trading is a term means you have to be operating on speculation by definition.
