    A pyramid scheme only hurts the people at the bottom of the pyramid. Someone got rich. And that someone probably tricked others to buy in just like this original tweet.

    “How you doin there?”

    He’s fine, because it was a lie in the first place. When you’re trying to fraudulently pump a stock, you don’t go all in, that’s what the rubes are for.

      that’s pretty bad, but who knows, maybe his previous portfolio was worse 😆

      i know mine is stagnating for more than a week now. it seems people are careful with buying at the moment.

      I bet he didn’t sell in May. He thought that short ride up was proof he made a good decision.

      I keep forgetting TFG has publicly traded stock.

      That decline seems predictable to me. Big emotional swings, loud angry announcements and waffling decisions are all famously not what any stockholder wants out of organization decision makers.

      The big surprise to me is that it’s still listed and presumably someone is still holding on case of a rally.

      Edit: That said, I don’t see a Y axis. But -22% says a decent amount.

        The Y axis is on the left but not easy to read. I took the screenshot highlighting the price on 3/26($57.99). The closing price yesterday was $13.55

        ETA: The -22% is from Jan 2 (Year To Date). The price on Jan 2 was $17.45

      His parents’ accountant manages his portfolio. He has no idea what’s in it. He calls up the accountant from time to time, makes spontaneous demands to move money around. Per the parent’s instruction, the accountant says, “yes sir” then doesn’t make any changes at all.

    Maybe his Stay poor comment was about himself and that he was humbly admitting that like himself, Liberals should follow Christ’s example and sell all of his material possessions?

    I think this is a noble sacrifice he made to prove that material wealth isn’t important to his christian values.

    It’s always nice to see the rich get whacked in the face. Even better when it happens from stepping on a rake.
