Reply to comment by beeeeeeeeks in What’s the first stock you ever bought and at what price ? by jamzkourt

I always feel like trading is like fantasy football for business minded individuals lol it is very mentally and physically draining ….my eyes and back hurt all day long lol

Oh yeah for sure! What size candles are you usually looking at? I sure hope you're staring at a good monitor and sitting in a chair if you are staring at it all day long.

For me, aside from closing out a good trade, the most enjoyable part of the whole game is reading up on all the corporate dramas. Man I love a good fraud (FTX -- you darling!), the downfall of a company or nation that gorged itself on debt and crumbled, huge bets that failed. Keeps me coming back.

Yeah, that show is great! Nikola was a great downfall as well--Milton was so pathetic. I enjoy the trickle trickle as the financial reporting community fleshes out the details in these stories as well. GameStop was a fucking blast and a perfect storm.

If you have some time for a great (and hilarious) read about FTX's fraud, you'd love this blog post. Written by a market maker who specialized in the Vietnamese Dong and it's insightful.
