Keys to successful big dick chad high risk tolerance trading
1) Make purchases while drunk
2) Be prepared for whatever you're putting in to go to 0 and do not let it scare you
3) Jerk off before any investment decision
4) Before any investment decision ask yourself "What Would Kanye Do?"
5) Listen to Death Grips "Takyon" while browsing brokerages/shitcoin markets

Congratulations, you now have diamond hands and omega dick risk tolerance and are now ready for your first 1000% return

Because you didn't take the first step?
It's real easy, anyone who wants in:
Start small, get in the game.
I started with just over 100 dollars. If you can't make gains with that you cant make gains period. Buy a few small things, make little gains, play with those profits or hold on to them. Start slowly building up a portfolio, learn what works and what doesn't. When you have a good lead but a decent amount in and see what happens.

Because hindsight is 20/20 and nobody really knew this shit was going to happen until it happened. And for every GME and AMC viral shit there's a dozen other times where you may think something will go big and you dump a few thousand into it and make jack squat or lose it all.

Also a lot of both early short sellers and bangwagon jumping regular investors who don't time their sell perfectly will be shafted when the sell stampede starts. Basically the people who get rich on this will just be gamblers who timed their short sells at the right time, or both bought in early and then sell at the right time.

You've been taught all your life that you have a certain place in this world and you need to stay there. So you believe that if you take a risk outside of your scope, then you will be doomed to fail.

You MIGHT fail, but then you might not. Learn the value of courage. Be brave no matter what. Do what you think is right and if it costs you everything, then so be it.

Same. I was thinking of starting trading a few months ago. If I had, who knows. I might have seen the earlier buzz for GME and bought then. Still, hindsight is a bitch. I definitely have money to play with but I’m always just keen on saving it for a house and such. Sill bought a share of GME and 2 of AMC just for the lulz though. Can still make a profit

Just put in a small amount if you feel like it might run. I turned $140 into $1350 with AMC. The downside is nothing compared to the regret of not buying in and reaping the upside.

the problem is if you're small time turning 130 into 1350, that 1350 starts to feel precious and you get more and more risk adverse. This is what's happening to me.
