Listen you jacka$$, in the last 2 months I played earnings call options on PLTR, AI, QCOM, SNOW, MRVL, AVGO, ALL made between 500% to 1500% (Lost 90% on NVDA). You have no F...ing idea who you are talking to. I currently own 44 different stocks and 7 different 1/15/27 call LEAPS to go along with plenty of physical Gold, Silver and rental condos. I owned VRTX when it was a small biotech, now worth 102 Billion, I owned ALNY when it was a small biotech, now worth 30 Billion, and MANY others. The reason I can afford to be down 155K in MRKR and not have it affect my lifestyle is because I invest for growth and have done very well at it since the 1980's. So please, take you asinine comments and index funds and shove them up your a$$, you dullard old fool.
