Part of the issue is that our society is too soft and full of excuses. “Big Boned or slow metabolism…” All lies and excuses….It’s lack of discipline, pure & simple. I was raised in a house with little discipline, excessive smoking, eating, gambling, drinking…zero exercise. My mom would crush multiple pastries and then give herself an insulin shot. You can call an alcoholic a drunk and a crack addict a crack head but if you call a food addict fat than you are perceived as a total a$$hole. Until this changes, most people in America will continue to be fat. Just like everything in life, parents need to set the example for their children, and unfortunately parents do all the grocery shopping so the problem starts at a young age and it never changes.

@TrumpsPortfolio $1.5 Billion is total b.s. Why would you say that? Anyone with half a brain in their head knows that's a complete lie. Everyone has the tools to fact check b.s. posts like this.

@mikealfred @BIG_PARMENIDES I’m 50 years old and I just had my 4th child (first girl). My wife is 41 years old.

@theRealKiyosaki Stop using your picture on your X profile from 20 years ago, embrace aging! I loved your book!

@EricLDaugh California is beautiful and the weather is unreal but if the politics are so corrupt (which they truly seem to be), why do people continue to live in California? There are 49 other options.

@RealJGBanks I should have listened to your warning, my growth stock portfolios down -10% this morning, the worst morning I've ever had in the market to date.

@mikealfred Use your 3 iron from there and take a putting stroke since its an uphill shot. Sounds crazy but it works, in North Dakota we call that shot a bump & run. Best option for someone new to golf, wedges are tricky!

The life of a retail growth stock investor, my portfolios got crushed today. I’m down -8.5% after hours. I’ve been on a great run lately with big daily gains. Time to trim some gains so I can buy back in at better prices if there’s even a bigger pullback? I’m trying to learn from the huge pullback that hit me hard on 10/15/25, I road that pull back all the way down.

Boomer dads don’t listen to their kid’s advice. Boomers have too much false bravado. I’ve tried to give my dad personal financial advice & investment advice. He didn’t listen to any of it. If he lives long enough, he will run out of money and be living in my basement. Great person and I love him, but still an ignorant/arrogant Boomer.

@mmmikema I bought more $BMNR today. Based on my holdings, it's either going to be my biggest loser or biggest winner ever. I worked in the banking sector for 2two decades, the payment rails are slow/outdated. Etherum is the answer IMO!

@TheCADInvestor Thanks!

@GrindeOptions This is the 4th trading day in a row for my portfolio. My portfolio has been purging market value big time since 5/14.

[Gen X Retail Trader @GenXRetail]

@StockSavvyShay @JRupena $BMNR is my largest holding by far, and I'm down about -50%. I'm not going to be a whiny bitch and complain, as I believe in the future of $ETH. I'm just looking for a realistic timeline for a recovery back into the low $40's since my cost basis is around $37 per share.

There is a lot of good info here, I hope you don't mind me pointing out that you didn't contemplate the 2022 3-for-1 split of $TSLA stock so ARK's prediction of $3,000 pre-split price would be the equivalent of $1,000 per share. Obviously the prediction was still way off but not as far off as you are describing.

Yesterday and today solidified the "buy on red days" mentality that people on X talk about. I got caught up in the hype of yesterday and bought some ETF's and stocks and I should not have bought on a green day. Never again, moving forward I only buy into a sea of red.

@mukund I am with you, I rarely eat out as well. Prices at "sit-down" restaurants have spirled. I get it, restaurant owners need to be profitable but they get a lot less of my money than others.

[Gen X Retail Trader @GenXRetail]

@Micro2Macr0 $ASST was my big winner as well!

[Gen X Retail Trader @GenXRetail]

@TheHost_ I invested in a good coffee maker for home, buying Starbucks consistently is wild and getting Starbucks delivered by DoorDash is even wilder. Maybe you have money to burn?

Another example of my lettuce hands from past trades. I sold 763 shares of $HUT at a price per share of about $19 and took a very small gain in June of '25. The after hours price per share for $HUT today is about $108.50. For those of you good at mental math, I missed out on about $68K of unrealized gains if I would have held. I really need to master the ability to sit on my hands and do nothing, just trust my investments and ride them out. I still have a lot of exposure to the AI factory/neocloud sector & who knows, maybe I took the proceeds from my sale of my $HUT shares to buy $IREN, $CIFR and/or $APLD. I have no idea because I "trade" too often.
