A friend of mine hated Trump. He confused hatred with market analysis and probably put all his non-401(k) wealth in a "3X contra fund," one that goes in the opposite direction of the market at three times the speed.

A friend of Frau Putzer's is a widow, 70 years old, and working at Target. Her husband made one bad investment after another, and then died early.

He should have left country,and started over. I can see suicide,for depression,deadly illness,or facked up veterans healthcare

There was bankruptcy to consider. Has to be better than oblivion. Far from the first person to have done things like this.

I hate to say this but it was only money in reality. I am not related to Jack Benny in any way but at times I wonder. Running real risk is a probable requirement of getting anywhere when young. Many of us including myself did it. There is limited time to recover as you get older. From misteaks. So being risk adverse is probably just common sense as you age. Chasing money you can not even ever spend past perhaps fifty is perhaps not that wise. If a large risk component goes along with it. Just my opinion though.

Robinhood is the Joe Camel of day trading. Here's a direct quote from their webisite on margin calls:

Helping kids learn all the wrong stuff.

My profits have to come from somewhere ...

There is no shortage of greedy idiots.
