    Loyal Theorists, I'm sure you've seen something about what's been happening with GameStop and the stock market. Just in case you haven't, here's a quick summary: a group of Redditors came together to raise the value of GameStop stock. Wall Street got mad. The public investors , like the Redditors, made money. That all meant a lot more people being interested and aware of stock prices than ever before. So, today, I want to help you understand what's been going on and, more importantly, what that means for the FUTURE!

      @@EnigmaticLucas The problem is that it is possible to be rich but many people rather than have good reasons for why they couldn't achieve it just blame everything on society when they didn't bother to try. You cant make the next billion-dollar company if you don't actually get up and try to do it. It's not about "anyone who isn't rich is lazy or has a victim mentality" it's that a lot of people use ridiculous excuses for why they won't actually bother to try.

The “I can do this but you can’t” mentality of it all is truly entertaining and don’t get my started on the people justifying the hedge funders. We gotta wake up and realize the hypocrisy.

      I got my first Nokia phone about a year ago and I'm very happy with the company. I've needed customer support from them a couple of times since I got it and they've been very accessible. My previous phone, an HTC, had no way I could find to get any customer service. So any time I had a problem with my phone, I was SoL. I like it when a company offers good customer service. It makes me want to support them more and continue to be a loyal customer of theirs.

      Sir Levi ! I remember the gentleman from 2019 when I first met him. Signed up late last year November on his platform, aalreading reeling in profit from my initial $12k investment that has snowballed into $87k over months of reinvesting. Great market enthusiast overall.

    I may not be as big a fan of your recent content as I was when the channel started, but this is really cool. Please keep making content like this, and I know you probably aren't gonna read it, but this channel helped me grasp concepts better than some teachers.
    And college proffessors. Seriously, you could probably make a fourth channel just to teach weird stuff in the way you do.
