Buy more. Have you seen how many subs they already have for Disney+ ???

Way more attractive product than Netflix. I don't have Netflix, but I will have Disney+ eventually - I have kids.

Not to mention the future of putting SPORTS on these things. ESPN+ is only the beginning. Eventually you will have LIVE major sporting events. Guess who basically OWNS college football - Disney. CBS is done with the SEC at the end of their current deal and Disney/ESPN won the rights. Literally every single game of SEC football will be broadcast on a Disney owned channel. That stuff is going to be on streaming eventually.

People who bought in the 900 range aren't happy.

I have written a few papers on Tesla. What a train wreck company. Musk likes fast and loose but eventually it will bite him.

As long as I'm on a roll making stupid "investing" decisions, I bought some bitcoin today.

Had to CALL Vanguard on the phone to buy GBTC because it's OTC, and it has a freaking 2% expense ratio.

Bitcoin bulls are retarded. This shit isn't going ANYWHERE until goobers like me can click a mouse button to buy it in our Vanguard accounts, and do so via an ETF or some other vehicle that charges a reasonable expense ratio, not 2%.

Don't talk to me about ****ing "wallets" and "cold storage" and crypto exchanges NONE of it is safe, it's all wild west, and people are constantly getting scammed, hacked, screwed, etc. Bitcoin will NEVER be as popular and/or valuable as the crypto bulls keep screaming it will be unless and until John OK Boomer Doe can click his mouse and buy it from the safety of his Vanguard/Schwab account, pay no fees, and also not get ****ed in the @$$ with a ridiculous expense ratio.

I now am the proud owner of $100 of GBTC. May God have mercy on my soul.
