Curious what made him get in 10 days ago?
Complete idiot luck. He is semi-retired (he retired but was bored so went back to agronomic sales) and retail invests on the side. He has a tendency to invest in outdated technologies. Like he's has a ton of Ford stock because he's sure American automotive is "coming back around." He bought in AMC because it was cratered because of the pandemic and (1) "no one wants to watch a new release on a TV at home" [side note: he personally has not stepped foot in a theatre in 15 years] and (2) "movie theatres will always exist because people need places to go on dates." He basically just effs around with like $150k of his retirement savings to have something to do.

He just got lucky. As I said, I had to explain to him why the stock was targeted for this kind of activity.

that is funny

Please tell me he sold it in the high teens...as it's already down to 7ish

Just checked and looks like Robinhood has removed GME and AMC from it's app?!

Nah. I got him back on the horn this morning and he was able to get out at like 11.5. Which is still pretty fair profit for buying at 2.45 or something 10 days ago.

This news is what prompted me to call him back and tell him to sell all the shares immediately for whatever he could get, that the bubble was bursting. He listened thankfully.

He is still partially convinced that this was a super savvy "buy" despite not really understanding at all why these kids targeted AMC for this psuedo-pump-and-dump Ponzi scheme.

I've only had one bottle of Ace of Spades and rather enjoyed it, but not "I'm going to spend 3x more than Moet or 4x more than Veuve enjoyed it"

Bezos doesn't feel like a Julian's American. Bernard Arnault, totally. Bezos lacks the sophistication.

I can’t believe French luxury crap is worth that much but they say it is due to them tapping into China

It’s still wacko

He's cornered cognac and champagne, 2 of our 5 most essential commodities as humans. Its kind of ridiculous he wasn't the world's richest person already.
