36 year old New York corporate lawyer making $270,000 lives off rice and beans to retire early

I have no idea why I go online. I simply saw the thread and came here to share some honest information and now I'm involved in banter with like a dozen people.

I'm sincerely trying to help you, if you do trade. I know the guy you're talking about. He went famous because he posted on Reddit about losing his life savings on a triple inverse vix fund. But that was a completely foreseeable loss. Had he simply taken a few hours to investigate that investment's history and formula history and formula he would've seen that what happened was entirely possible. please excuse any typos I'm outside right now I'm talking into my phone. And pardon me if I don't reply further.
