The idea being conveyed isnt that greed isnt good, its that being a hog is bad.
It's too pedantic of a saying to convey in a single image. You have to distinguish between a pig and hog, why one is good but the other is bad when they're essentially the same thing, and why you're using this saying instead of an easier to understand saying to convey the same message: you got too greedy and now you're paying for it.

Money on fire with the caption 'Too Greedy' is far clearer and easier to understand. You got too greedy, and now your money is on fire.

That was one I got out of with a profit through sheer pure luck. It literally crashed and never recovered the next day. VLDR got me later though, karma is a bitch.

Some are making the case that IVZ can be one of the last few covid recovery plays and also benefit from the current meme squeeze. Thoughts on them Sanrith Descartes Sanrith Descartes ?

Bought a hundred shares for shits and giggles, it does have a huge gap behind it to fill should it catch some volume if you look at the chart.

Haven't looked them to be honest. My current strategy is to fill in holes in my portfolio with sectors I haven't found a fit for yet for filling out sectors. I went with ABT because I was light in Healthcare after selling JNJ and UNH.

Right now I think too many /wsb people are using the squeeze term too much. Squeezes are "that" common and quite hard to force if it's institutional investors who are short. It's easy to squeeze retails.

CC's are a bad idea when these meme stock squeezes are in full swing
That's how I'm making all of my money the last couple of weeks. just do 10-15 over for those sweet premiums. If I get called out at a higher strike then that's a win and i get to keep the premium. IF it doesn't hit the strike on Friday I do another CC on Monday and do it all over again.

This is the way

Most of these memes will not be dreams, but the premium sure breaks the tedium?

Its almost as if printing Trillions of dollars out of thin air is inflationary. And the FED lying to us and telling us "nope, no inflation here". #FuckTheFED

Is AMC now a yester-meme? I was optimistic it would go to 100 (for no good reason) but at this point because I bought in so late I'm almost back to my cost. It's down to $44.50 and has just been seeing a slow burn since 60'ish.

If you bought AMC and held thinking it was going to a hundred you are a far braver soul than I.

But ride to Velioushalla brother.
