I pop into /WSB on a fairly regular basis to see what the young lads who fancy themselves as traders are up to. This is a severely deluded bunch, for the most part, since they have grown up in a completely fanciful environment which I am certain is going to bankrupt 95% of them over the next few years.
Here’s just a taste of what is in there right now: this guy has lost persistently and is now betting “……..the last of my life savings……’ on……….short-dated way out-of-the-money Palantir calls.

Maybe it bugs me more than it should, but I’m just kind of wondering if, one day, they might insert a face resembling those who INVENTED the semiconductor, CREATED the personal computer, and BUILT the entire software industry. Just some plain-ass white dude like, oh, myself. It’s just a thought. Until then, I guess I’ll just envision myself as a totally harmless Muslim woman whenever I log in.
