I know we both primarily focus on different investment vehicles, but we can both agree on this. It reflects my thoughts almost to a tee.

Don’t both your investment vehicles benefit greatly from inflation?

Yes. The pic is pointing out the flaws with traditional investments.

Yeah I thought it was well done.

Real estate is like the oldest most traditional investment there is.

I understand that, but poll 100 people and see how many actually invest in it today.

i like how half of extremely online progressives instantly decided regulation in financial markets is an abomination, taxation is violence and someone needs to do something about this goddamn fed because some overgrown gamers bought stock in an obsolete mall store.

Nearly 70% of Americans own real estate vs 55% in stock market.

I felt that way before it was cool, brah.

I won't fault you on this, most people think their home is an investment.

[wetwillie]

It is 100% an investment, a profitable one at that recently.

Google "is your home an investment". It's amateur hour real estate investment at best, and not an investment at all in most realities.

Yeah, I’m apparently very progressive all of a sudden

I am not in twitter, but I think sys’ characterization/definition of online progressives is probably like his “populist” definition here.

[chum1]

I think GameStop is more of a strip mall store than a mall store.

I didn’t watch but from what I saw she ended up having a pretty interesting panel discussion. I don’t know exactly what you are trying to imply.

I read this and think this is probably about where AOC’s position is, from a perspective of consumer advocacy. I wish you’d just come out and say what you are trying to imply here.

[Rage Against the McKee]

The people buying gamestop stock weren't making an investment. They were gambling.

[Kat Kid]

Right, I’m not shedding too many tears. But I do think that the issues of changing the margin requirements and freezing accounts is worthy of a bit of scrutiny, even if only to educate a public increasingly trading options. The derivatives market was up until this year pretty exotic stuff, so I think hearings are fine.

Robinhood also seems like they are kind of a bit over their skis in terms of some of their customer service issues and so bringing some scrutiny of that would probably be good.  Of course we will get some grandstanding and try to put people on the hot seat, but if that gets people to tighten up their own behavior, all for the better.

John Deere, should've stuck with it.

Only in ARKQ!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[steve dave]

I have a roughly equal amount in ARRK, ARKQ, ARKW, ARKG and double in ARKF. The ARKK is obviously just doubling down on the holdings of the others. I want to make sure Cathie has the entirety of my back not just certain sectors of it.

She had a very good interview on CNBC earlier this week
