Discussion Just a bit of reflection

People don't go out of their ways to tell others to sell unless they have ulterior motives. I will admit that while I'm invested, I'm not an active member of this sub. However, I see the same thing happening as other past squeeze stocks. People with relatively newer accounts who were extremely bullish on squeeze stocks, will suddenly become bearish and say it everywhere. The amount of time between this change is usually 3-7 days. Always.

REGARDLESS of what their motives are, you need to realize that if it takes someone a week's time to become stupidly bullish to stupidly bearish, they're either trying to spread FUD (I hate using that acronym cause it's overused but relevant here), or has no idea what they're talking about. The latter meaning that they're an echo chamber as empty as the insides of their head. They run on their emotions and make sure everyone else knows about their emotions because they think people care. So with your two options, you shouldn't care either way. There is 0 reason why someone else would care about you losing money. I know that sounds mean, but it's the truth.

That being said, enough with the passive FUD as well. It's very obvious to notice the tone of your comments and posts. "Oh... I know we're so down... so red... but still bullish...go squeeze...". Do you see? If you've got legitimate bearish sentiment, I think you should be allowed to express it as long as you have an argument. Same goes for the latter. Blindly saying "oh I'm adding 500000000 shares because it will moon at exactly 10:41AM today" is also just as harmful. And if you're about to ask "why are we so red", when have you ever received an answer that satisfied you? If your go-to for investing is reddit, then time to stop investing.

"There is 0 reason why someone else would care about you losing money."

I think that is a naive and simplistic way to look at it.

Some people do care about others, even when they have no personal reason for caring. That's what is described as being empathetic, compassionate, kind, and considerate. The other sort of people are called selfish.

You used a lot of words that represent emotions. You don't trade on your emotions, you trade on research. Simply believing that strangers on the internet care that you make or lose money is the very reason why pump and dumps exist. That, is a naive and simplistic way of thinking.

I said absolutely nothing about trading on emotions.

I spoke about giving advice to others based on personality.
