/biz/ - Business & Finance

trading has being criminally boring, movies and you retards had me thinking that finance is this awesome and fun hobby/possible career. Jesus nothing is further from the truth. Accepting this was actually fucking liberating. Once I figured out that all this investment bullshit is just the same rat race and is no different than going to a casino, I didn't find but forged the fun. All my chummies and I have a blast now by treating trading like what it really is, gambling. The game took a while to develop, but the tldr is this, some of you ought to take my approach.
I make this rocking mac and cheese out of velveeta. Basically it's the recipe on the cheese box but not taken to completion and with more milk. I make a big fucking pot of it Friday nights and we subsist off that shit all weekend. Friday night is also the night we sell everything we purchased the previous monday. Friday nights are really ritualistic now and it is fun asf, almost religious in a way. Like a cleansing and rebirth when the new week begins. So we have this pool of 100 companies we collectively did our due diligence on, we assigned each company a random 5 digit number. In an excel spreadsheet, each week each company is assigned a new random 5 digit number. We take 100 pennies, and write out the new set of numbers for all 100 companies on each, covering the writing with a piece of scotch tape. Once the Mac n Cheese is in the peppering portion of preparation, we plop the pennies in the pot, and mix it as normal. We take our servings, eat as normal, spitting out pennies as they appear. The first 10, and the companies their codes indicate, become that weeks roster. We buy however much we can afford, and see what happens. Come next Friday, we sell and begin the ritual all over again.

It's awesome and I would recommend starting a ritual-esque investment process to anyone, it's far more entertaining than deluding yourself with bullshit like technical analysis or pouring over some 10K.
