  1. 12:30 "It went vertical as the stock was crashing, this makes no sense".

    Wat? TSLA net purchases started going vertical in Jan 2023. The stock bottomed and started it's insane run up Jan 2023. What the hell was Michael on about there?

  2. On people being bananas, there is evidence that the permanence and windowification that the mobile internet provides is calming people down. Namely it's revealing the people who had always had such ugly opinions of the world and generating a social unrest that these people still exist.

    Now, I am concerned with the liar nature that is coming (deepfakes, AI, etc.) which will undo this progress…

  3. I don't get why all trades don't go through a central point that is controlled by the govt/sec instead of having these third party middlemen who are just milking everyone.

  4. people have always been nuts but some people shouldn't be able to share. All the things you listed…Trans, Nazis and racism is not even an actual thing that people in the US want to talk about. The Russians have admitted they use these topics to drive division in our population and actively operate farms of accts to spread and get these things into the daily topics of our lives.

  5. regarding the discussion around payment for order flow, as long as it is prominently displayed, its ok. People like Mike and Josh understand that its a buried cost, but the general retail investor doesn't. So something that says, 'the price you paid may have increased by up to 0.02 per share'. With this at least people understand what it is they are paying for.

  6. Anyone please tell me if I'm the only one worried that we still have not seen enough of a correction. It feels like chaos of emotion and opinion but no one thinking still about hey with all this have we seen enough of a correction. Did we get anywhere near what this overpriced 13 year bull topped off with the covid stim crypto and tech melt up of 21 market needed? Did we just see the biggest bull trap in history? It still feels like the panic and market problems got here early and we haven't even gotten to the recession yet not that recession and market devaluation go hand in hand but you have to think if the recession hasn't even gotten here yet all this was like trimmers before the big quake.

  7. If we don’t care about a penny per trade when brokers are doing it to front run orders for pennies a trade why does Wall Street throw a tantrum every time the same kind of penny transaction tax is proposed? Maybe pay down our national debt in a meaning full way way. Pragmatic problem solving is desperately needed now that free money is over. Not ideologues screaming bloody murder over one more penny per trade because it goes to the national debt instead of citadel plutocrats that have enjoyed a rigged system for decades now.

  8. Regarding the tesla net purchases, the stock shot up so quickly there are so many people that want to own it and feel like they missed out on the way up, so as soon as it started crashing they figured it was their chance to get in
