I have 2 questions;

Number One: Why was I not on my game, realizing that there was a momentum, mania push, fabricated by Reddit, and understanding that I needed to take advantage of the "make-believe" push on stocks up to and beyond the RSI(14) 80 level??

Number Two: Why was there no one, on the IHUB boards, specifically educating traders here that "we have a Reddit event that you need to take advantage of now before it blows over."

STRIKE TWO

Strike three is if you bought marginal MJ companies on the push-up and got crushed in the aftermath.
