I am working in Europe and have no idea of how pathologist is working in US.

However, get the feeling that a lot of US pathologist have their brokering account opens all day and do some (day) trading?

Love the idea to be a pathologist daytrader that on Monday set in a short CFD in Tesla and then read a 12 slide prostate and the close the position for 1000 dollar.

Are you guys trying to get people into a pump-and-dump on this message board?

Nice memes of "Kid Dynamite"...one of my favorite video games when I was a kid.

Four - six months later....What happened that this script? Crypto and Tesla doing great, and I haven't heard Burry mentioned in a while.

Are you talking about real companies that have real assets and revenues? Because that's what it sounds like you are talking about.

What ever happened to just buying dividend stocks and ETFs??? I'm only down 10% in my portfolio. To me it seems like the whales in the crypto market are exiting stage left and leaving a whole lot of folks holding the bag.

scamcoins I mean stable coins are breaking their pegs. The entire market is supported by these things. If the exchanges don't stop allowing withdrawals soon, they will crater.

I’m confident crypto isn’t going away. Millennials are the first digitally native generation. The volatility isn’t non-existent for securities like Netflix or Facebook, either.

I also expect things to continue getting worse the next couple of months. That happens, though. The market, especially crypto, crushed it the past decade.
 
Everything’s getting pummeled stocks and crypto.

Facebooks stock price crash was the worst in the history of the stock market. $200 billion.

Not so. Collectibles like cards and comics are at an ATH. That said, these are also a terrible investment.
If only I had a couple of mint alpha release black lotuses like one of my high school friends.
 
Right now put all your money in old cars and classic video games and game systems.

Sports betting and casinos are also not going away. But no one calls them investments and compares them to Netflix.

I wouldn't say they are "terrible"... depends on what you have. I would say that 99% of them are indeed terrible. If you don't have the high-end stuff, then it doesn't matter. If you know what you're doing, you can reap a lot of rewards. That's how I make more than my average pathology salary :D

I have an Alpha Lotus worth ~$500K.

Nice car. Surely not a daily driver? Ferrari’s, Aston’s etc. are, sadly, targets for keying here. It is a damned shame. BMW’s, MB’s, etc get a pass.

They are "terrible" in that they are non-productive assets. They still operate on a similar (stupid) zero-sum game that crypto does- the "greater fool" theory. You can only make money if someone out there is willing to pay more than you. As opposed to crypto, demand is not generally only created by FOMO (a false sense of increasing value), but by sentimental reasons. I collect comics and have a lot of valuable ones, some worth thousands of dollars. But I know they are not a good investment, even if their value appreciates over time. This is because although rarity and time affect their value, they are nonproductive and have value only if people covet them. Superhero comics are definitely at an ATH right now, but this genre has permeated the current pop culture landscape. But this will not likely last forever. Remember when cowboys were relevant? I don't. Stamps are also mostly worthless today, although this was not true in the past.
 
I think it's this:


It is a Magic the Gathering playing card that is really rare. It's highly sought after by giant nerds who live in their parent's basements.

It totally is, that's why I LOLd. Mike was speaking one language while cmz was speaking another.

Of course the problem with this "investment" is that when they stop making Magic: The Gathering cards and people stop caring this thing will be relatively worthless. That could be tomorrow or it could be in 50 years. I'd rather have a Lotus hypercar I can drive, but that's because I don't value playing cards.
 
I remember buying a Beta Black Lotus (3300 in total printed) in 2018 for ~28K and selling it for 60K one year later. The same lotus recently sold for 225K a few months ago. Am I kicking myself in the butt for selling "early"? No. I used the money earned and bought something else that has appreciated in value at the same rate. With the Alpha Black Lotus (~1100 in total printed) that I own -- I paid ~37.5K in 2017 and I've received offers of $450K. I really like the card and I don't think I would part ways with it unless it was for some really ridiculous amount (yes, 450K seems absurd to some, but not to me).

The thing about sports cards, gaming cards, and comics, etc is that they are all pushing new levels of absurdity. The higher and higher price points will only attract a select crowd. Yes, it is a zero sum game. Right now I am "out" 37.5K on my Alpha lotus. There will come a day where even Action Comics #1 won't hold its current value. A friend of mine has the 3rd highest graded copy of AC1 in the world and he's received several multimillion dollar offers (exceeding 3.5M) -- he won't sell. To me owning something like an AC1 or an Alpha Lotus is a piece of history. You can't predict the future. Perhaps in 40 years, once Marvel and DC stop making action hero movies or MTG/Hasbro goes out of business then things will retrace heavily. I doubt things will ever go to zero. MTG is still going strong 30 years later and is more popular than ever. Hell, even certain Beanie babies are selling for astronomical prices. ;)

I collect what I like and gives me joy. I do take profits whenever necessary, though. My ultimate collecting goals have always been to find the rarest of the rare through consolidation.
 
Not a dig, but I have never understood the collector mindset. Somehow my brain just doesn't work that way. I would much rather spend the money on practical things than on display items that cannot be used or interacted with because it will damage the value.

If I had millions I would retire, travel the world, have experiences. If I had billions I would fund research for things that would advance humanity like clean energy, disease prevention, or space exploration. Buying an original artwork from the 1700s or something would do nothing for me. If I really wanted to look at it all the time, a reprint would be just fine.

Collectors are born, not made. Everyone has their own hobby/craft and that's what makes everyone unique.
