American millenials being idiots again 😂
Extremely bad traders with astonishingly poor intelligence from burgerland fomo'd and dreamt of lambos then decided to baghold once again, and are suing the struggling dying company to maybe get 1 or 2% of their money back (they don't know it yet they dream they can get the full amount back).
Gives us something to laugh about, while the number of USO baggies is slowly going down as USO share price slowly goes up (and they are able to breakeven).
Here is the story of a bagholder that ate extreme losses on Robinhood in his late 20s. Not from the recent Kodak move, have not found the stories yet, but it's always the same anyway. An individual from San Diego, California, which is probably the bastion state of robinhood millenials, I estimate a good 1/3 of users come from there.

"Mr. Dobatse, now 32, said he had been charmed by Robinhood’s one-click trading, easy access to complex investment products, and features like falling confetti and emoji-filled phone notifications that made it feel like a game. After funding his account with $15,000 in credit card advances, he began spending more time on the app.
As he repeatedly lost money, Mr. Dobatse took out two $30,000 home equity loans so he could buy and sell more speculative stocks and options, hoping to pay off his debts. His account value shot above $1 million this year — but almost all of that recently disappeared. This week, his balance was $6,956."
So he gambled and got lucky and made very quick very huge gains and thought he was better than George Soros then lost it all and never had the clarity of mind to get out, and now has an additional 68k in debt. I am sure he believes in socialized losses and is a big Bernie supporter.
In 1 article they quote someone from twitter "So he wanted to "trade to pay off his debts" but then kept trading after earning more than enough to do so and then lost it all. The psychological consequences of realizing you are dumbass should be dire.". Exactly.
Back to Kodak. Karma is beautiful as ignorant californian socialist tech savy 25 year olds bought this stock following the government (the thing they love so much) making a socialist loan to dying kodak (rather than let them die and allocate capital efficiently), and then the government took the loan away as fast as it gave it. 🙂
I wonder how many davey day trader global day traders bought Kodak and held. Did Dave Portnoy? Saw him get excited at Kodak when the price went up but do not know if he bought.
After hundreds of thousands of awful dumb gullible young investors piled into this piece of garbage, the one and only I present Senator Elizabeth Warren, also known as Pocahontas, called for a greater investigation by Congress, because that's so their job. What investigation? Same story as usual.
Why is the government focus all on protecting idiots? Rather than spending time on the strong. That's like a pro investor that would always invest in the weakest worse companies and ignore or even tax the strong ones. What a waste of time and counterproductive thing we have going. At least they get those idiots to vote for them.
Screw the US economy. This sinking ship is going to collapse faster than the Titanic.
I don't think I will ever invest in a US stock.
This never gets old.
My joy is great and my satisfaction is immeasurable.
