Then the pandemic hit, and I lost every fucking cent. Boy, did I feel stupid.

Only idiots took money out of the markets when COVID hit. I doubled down on my investing and, with a little dumb luck, managed to put a lot in near the bottom of the dip.

Buy low. Sell high. Couldn't be simpler.

I guess I'm an idiot, then. All the same, it's the last time I'll ever invest anything.

I also shorted on gamestock when I saw all the retards on reddit meming "let's go to the moon". And what a surprise, it crashed. Easy money.

It's probably one of the few situations where being contrarian pays.

I mean, seriously, did you think the markets were never going to recovery because of COVID? It was a fire sale on everything.
