Dividends! Yields! Options! Trends!
I’m learning stock stuff. Or as my friend JD calls them: stonks. There is a funny graphic of that here:
Mind you I don’t do shit with memes usually. I live in a world unaware of how this other world selects esoteric imagery and passes it around to each other. But this stonks thing… boy that does it for me! Why? I wish I knew why I liked what I liked. I’d give myself more of those things! Like stonk meme!
I’ve been talking to friends during this time of “Pause” (I’m going to think of a better name than that soon. Pause is dumb.), and you can’t help but get that scratching voice in the back of your head that says, “You gotta find a way to get rich off this newfound collapse of the economy!” In all seriousness, with no self-deprecating sardonic tonality whatsoever, real people are saying these things (!), so, no, I’m not getting seduced by some inner hair-brained scheme maker (which would still be me). We, as a nation in reality, are experiencing a true economic disruption right now… and people’s behaviors, theoretically, should be clearer en masse in reaction to the new limitations/realities of pandemic society. So that’s why I’ve been stonking the shit out of my TD Ameritrade stock market video tutorials.
Self-edification is a good thing. I am much more edified now with my stock market knowledge than I was this time yesterday. It’s like I gave myself something… but… boy oh boy… am I now going to throw in real money behind my neophyte education? Doesn’t that sound like a jump? At this point, if I were a professional stockbroker, or financial advisor, I would be the worst the marketplace has to offer…. So why would I hire that person for myself? I think this may just be one of those “pat yourself on the back” moments in which you finally get off your dick and actually learn the “thing” you had been promising yourself you would research. But doing something in reality with this?... feels as esoteric to me as meme society.
The hunt to make myself rich (without working for it) continues… Maybe there’s some cheap real estate property somewhere I can pick up? You know who I bet is cleaning up now: Therapists. Everyone is stressed/lonely/sexually frustrated, and therapists won’t skip a beat doing their work on Zoom. Guess what my undergraduate degree is in? Psychology. Guess how many people I’ve treated? Not one stonking person. One thing I do know now… “stonking” is an adjective British people use. I heard Boris Johnson say it in an interview. He has Coronavirus. See… it is all connected. So glad I’m getting drunk tonight.
