The Ultimate 6 Step Guide to Wallstreet Bets

Submitted by laughtract t3_z8do5b in wallstreetbets

Step 1: Take a Position. Buy Calls or Puts, or purchase stock; you can even short the stock if that’s the way you swing, etc. This step is meaningless, but cannot be skipped.

Step 2: Make a post on WSB that will convince others to go along with the position you have decided to take. Use the same mental hoops you’ve jumped through to let others know of the impending opportunity awaiting them.

Step 4: Draw straight lines on charts that imply the future is known and is in your favor. Make sure to only use the timelines that strengthen your position. Add these images into the middle of your post sandwiched between long paragraphs of text. *Bonus: include technical jargon and sprinkle in factual data that may or may not coincide with your predictions.

Step 5: Be active in the comment section. Upvote those that go along with your proposal and disparage those that don’t. Eg, “Some of you have never seen a balance sheet and it shows”.

Step 6 (Final Step): Gloat or Mope If you turn out to be right, make sure everyone knows luck had nothing to do with it. If you were wrong, advise them that although you were right, markets can behave irrationally longer than you can remain solvent.

What's step 3? Have Wendy's job application filled out and sat on your desk as a contingency?

Replying to Cautious_Rutabaga328 (#787,823)

The real question is, Why would anyone except the bullets of this post to be numerated in a logical order? That would require the poster being able to count to 5, and that type of math is way above the WSB pay grade. Stop being a nerd and buy some fucking options.

Optional Side Quest: make periodic asinine comments on posts you didn’t read and that mean nothing to you.

Also lie about blowing people behind a popular fast food franchise dumpster in your local neighborhood

What is this "purchase stock" strategy? I've never heard of it before, is it a new derivative or options spread strategy?

How To Make Money In Stocks

  1. Randomly select 10,000 people.
  2. Send half of them your analysis that stock XYZ will go down.
  3. Send the other 5000your analysis XYZ will go up.
  4. Of the 5000 you sent the correct prediction to, send half up analysis and half down analysis. (It helps if your analysis has some new, exotic elements like your proprietary, patent pending retrocontabulator signal.
  5. Repeat step 4 once or twice.
  6. By now you have several hundred people thinking you’re the greatest stock picker in history. Offer them your daily newsletter for only $5,000/yr payable up front, a savings of 75%, because you have more money than you can use and now you just want to help your fellow man.

Do I need to add a disclaimer saying this is satire?

You forgot the most important step:

At the end of your post, add MS Paint stick figure pictures comparing what you would look like if you had or hadn't invested.

The hadn't invested guy should be sitting alone with a cloud raining on him

The guy that invested should be in the sun surrounded by girls and bags with $ signs on them.
