“You can’t open a brokerage account until age 18 because it requires signing a contract. That gives you 2 years to learn.

I think it is great for a young person to be interested in investing, but not day trading.
Ignore the promotional lies online - day trading is not a source of quick easy money for novices.
Most people fail because they do not realize it is a full time job rather than a side hustle.

I encourage you to think about investing for the long term. Here are 3 classic books on stock investing if you are willing to put in the effort.”

“ somewhere” i saw this response. ^^

i know of someone caught up in this drama, otherwise, i doubt i would have noticed it at all.
i’ve been sad over it. i’m praying for a big “walk-away” from it.

Probably a better comparison would be to VW's short squeeze a decade ago, not to something in 1923 when markets were radically different.
