Reply to comment by AutoX_Advice in Social media influencers are charged with feeding followers ‘a steady diet of misinformation’ in a pump and dump stock scheme that netted $100 million by Wagamaga

There was a good article about 1988 and derivatives and how we still haven't recovered from that. 2023 is gonna be lit.

Nope, 1988. Derivatives is just legal gambling.

Derivatives and swaps all part of 2008 too. I want old enough in 88 to care. 🤣

We continue to repeat it.... I figure the more complex any investment is the easier of a seller to hide costs and risks. This was the case for 2008 and the case of crypto/blockchain. Nothing like old fashion CDs and stock dividends that are simple mechanics to basic users to understand.

BTW I'm not saving CDs are a great investment strategy just I've someone thinks that.
