I love this guy. If he takes over Twitter and shuts down the bullshit, I may actually sign up. Probably not but it would be cool to follow some of the Chiefs and get their stuff instead of relying on posters here to see it.

I have to admit. Since I bought in and started following AMC it's been a really eye opening experience. I've received a good education on how much the market is manipulated . Actually its sad knowing that the retail investor has no influence on the market. [Reply]

There was a case a while back where a brokerage firm got caught making some tiny computer program change to execute their trades a microsecond before the public's trades, which gave them an advantage in pricing their buys and sells. Ever since then, I've known that we're playing a rigged game that works against people and for giant Wall Street brokerages, and it's disappointing. But the challenge is that it's the only game in town. [Reply]

They're using AI technology that has investor emotion plugged in to the algorithms. [Reply]
I posted about Fundrise.com before and wanted to update what is going on. Since I joined in February, they have purchased 3 major properties and now merged several funds into their Interval Fund (which is the basic level). My account has received only modest dividends, but the Appreciation has been amazing-- over 7% for the 1st quarter. They average about 22% per year, which is great for a REIT.
You can start a FREE account and now they are giving $25.00 bucks to join. You can make up to $900.00 in shares by just sending out invites.

Read Flash Boys by Michael Lewis. It’s pretty damned interesting. [Reply]
