Stock Market
I am sure that you have seen people on TikTok showing how easy the life of a day trader in the stock market is.
Wake up in your mansion, drive with your Lamborghini to a gym, and go swimming in your private pool. All of this while making thousands of dollars.
That’s all baloney, I’m going to show you what a real day in the stock market looks like. Buckle up.
The market opens. I just saw that the Nasdaq crashed 2%. This might not seem much but if the Nasdaq is down 2%, Tesla will be down a lot more.
Just saw that Tesla is officially down 5%. What a wonderful day. And if you think this is only the beginning, it’s not.
It’s the evening, the stock market is about the close. I open up my computer and see a whole bloodbath. My whole computer screen is filled with red percentages.
The Nasdaq is down 4.2% to its lowest level of the year, Tesla is down 10%. What a wonderful life, right?
Let’s talk about the extreme losers.
Palantir, a company providing cyber security to the US government reported tremendous, uh, tremendously bad earnings. Result:
