For all of the talk about reddit and WSB, this analyst said that short sellers lost $240 billion last year, and most of them never make money.



Besides, short selling is un-American. You don't bet against American business.

If the SEC wants to put in new regulations, it should ban short selling.

i remember doing the DD while back, and they actually did have a promising outlook. they actually have products to sell.
Iwand - OPTEC International, Inc.

but it's such a small company in a niche, so any financial blows will cripple them.

but since they got products that makes sense in the covid world they can potentially scale this. it would take a charismatic leader and some help financially to take the next level. many penny stocks remain penny stocks because they just can't take the next step. it would be interesting to see if they can.

it's way too early for me to invest in a company like this tho. hopefully they make it so the fam makes some money. :manny:

investing has totally changed how I look at money. I didn't think about it before I started doing it but you can't really out work money. The more money you can get in income the more money you can have your money make for you.

Most people make more money but use that money to fund lifestyle creep. If you took a person that made $50K and the next year they started making $100K they're moving and getting a better car and new furniture. If I was that person I'd keep living how I was living and invest all the excess past what I had with the $50K.

My parents did a lot for me. They drilled into me fiscal responsibility, maintaining good credit, debt avoidance. They did not teach me anything about investing and I kinda resent that. If I would have really known about investing in my late teens or early 20s my life would probably be completely different now. My pops was anti-stock market. He didn't understand it and looked at it as gambling so I adopted his attitude and ignored it until age 35. When it comes to growing my investments I can't get that time back.
