The upside to all this is option premiums have been sky high with so much volatility.
Been making some $ selling options

Were you in equities last July (2024)? Because you weren't making daily/weekly threads about that dip.
FFS, the S&P was at an ALL TIME HIGH on Valentine's day. Even with these dips, still up 2% over the past 12 months. It's only down as much as it is, on paper, because of (and folks were warned) this hugely overbought condition we found ourselves at the beginning of the year.
Average down or STFU, with all due respect.
This is about as good as it can be said. Bravo, sir!

My brother, when the founders walked the earth, your investments would routinely turn to worthless paper overnight, yet you wouldn’t find out you were ruined for days or weeks
Ehhh not usually, especially with gold-backed paper as long as you didn’t get stuck in a bubble holding the paper.
Today it’s backed by nothing, but gold is up nicely.
Up 10x since 2001 thank you vey much.
Way better then stock market during that time, which is my time in the market.

Yes investments routinely went bankrupt in the 1700s. That has nothing to do with gold.

Gold is up about 7.3x since the 2001 bottom. SP500 is up about 7x including dividends.

not being facetious, a lot of people cant/dont want to handle the stock market
123% debt/gdp
7% deficit/gdp (in peacetime, not in recession, unprecedented)
1T+ in interest expense>defense spending
SS/Medicare/Medicaid growing exponentially as boomers age and continue to retire.
If you lend that^ organization money and expect a positive return on a time frame exceeding a few months you either don't understand any of the above, are terrible at math or believe the govt is going to cut entitlement and defense spending by 30%, tomorrow, forever.
US sovereign debt of any duration exceeding 6 months are functionally certificates of confiscation. We are entering an era of financial repression last seen immediately following WW2.

It was $271 in 2001, but I always just say $300 as avg.
It’s $3,400 now and climbing.
How many more times is 3400 than 300?
11.3.
