"Active investing" becomes "activist investing" when you *put your money where your mouth is*.
It's simple but powerful: find strong companies that align with your values and invest in what they're building. Helping support the world you want to see - from the products to the entertainment you consume. ๐ป๐ฟ

True storyโ I invest in what I want to see more, not unspecific funds/ETFs that are various-degrees-of-misalignment with my core values, simply for financial gain!!!!! ๐ What if this became the norm?

What's the deal with Naked Shorts? Itโs when fake shares are sold as real shares! ๐ซค๐ณ๐ IT IS SELLING FAKE SHARES FOR THE PRICE OF REAL SHARES AND THEN THEY'RE KEEPING THE MONEY BUT WE'RE NOT HAVING SUPPLY/DEMAND BE EFFECTED!!! It's initiated & allowed by the LEADERS OF THE STOCK MARKET EVEN THOUGH ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ALLOWEEDDDD! ๐ ๐๐โโ๏ธWho pays the price? - YOU! - INFLATION- The people!- Investors- Businesses- Consumers- Retirement accounts- The costs of goods- The market's integrity, for goodness sake!Retail investors have been calling this out for yearsโever since trying to understand what the heck "naked shorts" could mean, lol.

Capitulation? Eew. No thanks.Mainstream media loves to say: "Retail investors will capitulate" and I'm like... okayyy... I'm a retail investor... what does "capitulate" mean? (brb, reading that defintion)(after reading) Wow... wowwww... okay.. wowww... ok, Well... "mainstream media news" I, myself, will NOT be capitulating, thank you very much. โ๐โโ๏ธ Especially when the "fear and panic" element of "capitulation" has always been paid for and fake! ๐ฎ๐ lol. But thanks for giving me a new word to learn! ๐ค (and it even instinctively rhymes: Haters gonna' hate, I donโt capitulate. ๐ฒ๐๐โโ๏ธduh!) ๐ Power to the people! ๐ Power to the players!

Yikes!! Only 4 days till NYE... Have you nailed down your resolution yet? ๐โจ
What about learning a new language? ๐โโ๏ธ Like the game-changing language of โfinanceโ, perhaps! ๐๏ธ๐บ. Itโs already on any social media platform you already love! - and the content ranges from 'super casual' to 'more professional' just depending who you follow! ๐ง๐ป๐ฌ๐๐ต๐ผโโ๏ธ๐พ๐ฃ๏ธ๐๐
Donโt worryโitโs easier to learn than youโve been led to believe! With exposure to familiar-yet-diversified financial conversations, those โunfamiliar wordsโ will really start to click. Soon, youโll be saying, โWaitโwhat!? That macroeconomic concept actually makes sense!โ Youโll gain valuable knowledge and watch your interest compound along the way!* ๐ก๐
๐ Why wait for 2025 to get started? Start now! Check out my blog for notes from the recent 'activist investor' event. And remember, learning how money works is always a smart investment of your time: ๐๐ ๐ค๐ https://lnkd.in/g5gJ8Zgm
(*P.S. If you donโt get the โcompound interestโ joke yet, this might be a good place to start! ๐ Do your own research! Have fun! You got this!! ๐๐๐)

Last year's Bed Bath & Beyond bankruptcy (BBBYQ)...
Ever overheard people talk about it while waiting in line for coffee? Probably not, right? ๐
Unless, of course, you were in Ft. Lauderdale earlier this month! (Even then, it wasnโt exactly a 'trending topic'โbut if you did your own research, youโd definitely have found it there. ๐)
My own hardcore-self-driven-stock-research-journey started years ago: mostly learning from YouTube, StockTwits, Reddit (until it became Censorship City), Twitter, group chats, and Discordโฆ blah blah blah blah blah.
UNTIL this... a new winner broke through. ๐
YepโOrange is the new black, and โreal lifeโ is the new "onlineโ ๐โโ๏ธ ๐ฎ๐๐ฏโโ๏ธ๐ฌ๐
The community is connecting IRL! (And letโs be realโpaid bots have a much harder time with that one. Though not impossible. ๐ )
Also, I'm very confident you'll be overhearing chatter about that bankruptcy very soon. ๐บ๐ฒ๐ Read more for yourself here at my blog: https://lnkd.in/g5gJ8Zgm

'Cause after the speeches, it's the after party. ๐บAnd after the party, we're still talking bout stocks. ๐But reallyโฆ this many like-minded people together in one space? You gotta keep the party going! It doesnโt even need to cost a buck. Just find a way to let the convos keep going. It's a great way to maximize the value, opportunity, and potential of your event - to build community. This event excelled at community building.

this bankruptcy's vibe: "EVERYBODY MOVE!!!" -'Fezzik', (performed by Andrรฉ the Giant in 1987's 'The Princess Bride')
๐ฅ๐ฅ During market hours, Wall Street dominates the game. ๐ It's a calamity!! WE NEED IT TO STOP!!! MOVE, WE NEED SECURITY!! (But no one even cares ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ผโโ๏ธ). But, when the game stops, the proof is there. Stopped. When gametime halts and everything is captured in a bankruptcy, ๐งโโ๏ธ we stop to see their not-so-fair games!๐ต๐ผโโ๏ธ
(...๐ btw, just checking... was that too many game/stop mentions in that above paragraph? or surprisingly incredible? ๐๐๐ข)
The Bed Bath and Beyond bear trap bankruptcy stopped that calamity in time, to reveal the full story of what's going on. When you follow the money, just a hunch, but could it have been leadership intentionally running things into the ground? But Idk, I'm not the professional, just hanging around the professionals...

So... it's ironic (and may have even been a little intentional??), when the Game Stops, the emperor reveals his clothes. ๐คด๐ Are his shorts naked? How many shorts? (We believe in the billions... trillions? quadrillions? shares oversold.) Between him and all of his buddies. The Market Makers gotta buy back alll... of those.... YEARS of selling shares they didn't have.
(That's why they're doing all these crazy methods to delay. They want for retail to capitulate. If you don't know that word, go back a week or so in my posts. I explain it well ๐. And, spoiler alert: I'm not capitulating.)

Can't see 'em cause the money in the way."
๐๐ฝ Can you be an INVESTOR and a YOLO-er at the same time?
I say, "YAY!" ๐๐ With committed research and lifelong learning, of course you can. ๐ Education is keyโand if 'they' can figure it out, so can 'you'.

๐ธ๐คณ๐ป Coming Soon: POLL WEEK ๐ซจ๐ค๐
(a subtle commentary on how the internet works)
... just EIGHT DAYS from today... the power is handed to you...
Every BEGINNING sparks a new journey, ๐
๐ And every CHOICE sets the next course.
My fellow Linkodeonsโyes, you, reading this today,
Which Kelly Tutors EVENT do we cover next? ๐๏ธ
Which event will the VOTES decide?
...no... one... knows... ๐๏ธ๐ฆ
So until then, read my blog on the ๐ Retail Activist Investors at Bill Pulte's Tin Roof Event here - https://lnkd.in/g5gJ8Zgm
And at about this time next week, we'll... unleash the crawlers ๐พ.
Yes, the bots and the analytics. They will troll my posts alongside your votes/clicks/impressions... deciding which topic resonates most with this crowd. ๐ญ๐ค๐
Itโs how things work these daysโI know. I know.
๐๐๐ฆ
So, let's take this journey together.
๐ซ๐๐
Your attention determines the future, like it or not (my page or any!) The bots are coming and so is 'Poll Week'. But guess what? Youโre always being crawled. ๐ค๐
Be good! ๐๐
-
Me: "Come onnnn! Just a few more posts, please. Please? PPleeease!"
You: "Itโs time to go. 'Poll Week' is almost here. Seriously."
Me: ๐๐ง๐
...Iโm wrapping up this event as the MAIN focus - (MOASS IS INEVITABLE btwwww) If you missed this previous focus post, donโt worry! You can still find it here: https://lnkd.in/g5gJ8Zgm -(update: link fixed/working! ๐) it is about retail investor activism discovering crime afoot over on ol' Wall Street.
But let's add another topic into the mix. We gotta at some point, right!! โณ๏ธ Iโm attending events all the time IRLโsometimes multiple in a week! Let's cover another!! But which? What's a new one to talk about that EVERYONE will like - so that I don't lose my audience along the way!!!
โ YOU: "Woah! Hold on - You're gonna try pick an event that 'EVERYONE' will like??!?โ โ๐คจ
๐ ME: "Yeah... ๐๐"
๐คจ YOU: "Inconceivable?!"
๐โโ๏ธME: "Uh.. ever heard of 'data'? ๐๐บ A/B testing? Try your besting???"
๐ฒ YOU: ๐ค
Letโs test it!! ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ Iโll need your input on whatโs nextโpolling starts tomorrow! ๐ฒ๐ (and there may or may not be a pop-quiz, too) ๐ฃ๏ธ Your voice matters!!!!!
๐ช๐ Letโs decide the future of our feed*!! You are what you eat!! ๐โโ๏ธ๐ฆ
*newsfeed, the stuff you ingest online! ๐

๐ซ "Weโve overbooked the flight!"๐ ๐โโ๏ธ ahhh!!! Too many customers, not enough seats???
No big deal!! ๐โโ๏ธ โadd another flight, ya good! okay?!! fly on! โ๏ธ
But what ifff STOCK MARKETS oversold shares... for years? Like, let's say that years ago they ran out of a hypothetical company "GamC Bath" shares or "GCB", whatever... DONT TELL CUSTOMERS they ran out of GCB and then they continue selling them as if they do, ๐คtaking money and then bragging all over the place of how they're having record success. Airplane gonn' fix that?
No sir, an extra plane ain't gon' make Wall Street's problems go away, not at all. They dilute the value of these companies. These attacked naked shorted companies... but now more and more people know what those words means 'diluting with synthetic shares'. "Denial for transparency of Failure to Delivers". "Counting 'shorts' as 'longs'". "98% of retail investor orders are sent directly to dark pools, not the LIT markets." -(basically that quote from Gary Gensler, just writing it off memory - as could 50%+ of this community hahah. We love that quote in the sense its mind-blowing and horrible, but at least good evidence of the problem)
๐ณ๐ณ The market makers are scrambling like eggs on a Sunday morning. Dumb money un-dumbbbin' y'all! We findin' our feet.
MOASS is real. MOASS is coming. ๐๐
Also... what happens when I run out of social media posts about this event!? We'll find out soon... awww. But I love this topic. It'll stay around. Stay close, we'll be boarding for the next destination shortly. ๐ค๐ Don't worry, you've got a ticket for this flight, boo thang! (right??) ๐
"What is she talking about?" ๐ -this topic is really hard to stumble upon in the 'mainstream' world. https://lnkd.in/g5gJ8Zgm. BUT don't take my word for it!!! ๐ How about "do your own research" is your 2025 resolution if you still didn't make one yet. ๐ฎโบ๏ธ๐
