    Warren Buffet is a genius investor... you aren't.

  3. I was going to ask it here,
    but in today's world,
    I looked it up.

    Did Buffett use Options?

    It said yes, Cash Secured Puts.

    Hmph.

    C'mon. Stop using AI. He shorted OTC puts in 2007 literally at the top of the mkt between 1525-1550 SPX. It was in the news.

    I did buy a house 26 years ago. Put down 10%, even though I could have put down 5%. So only a 50x return on my money, instead of 100x.

    But I am only one of millions of people who bought 25+ years go. It is not some uncommon unicorn event like you describe.

    Good for you. Did your whole net worth went up 50 times? And were you already old back then?

    Literally that’s all you have on me: backing the candidate who wouldn’t launch an attack on Iran because another country was getting kudos for it.

    BTW, you didn't just "back" the candidate. That would be one thing. You actively thought the Dems were a shoe in... Mr. Genius Investor.

    You sure are missing something! Should I continue? It's boring and tiring at this point, for sure. Let us know when you two finish licking each other's genitals and post some (profitable?) fills... if you can.

    Or maybe just go back to work in your father's little sweatshop.

    Look, lol... here's a couple you got right:
