I should change my name from “Nicey” to “idiot dumbass” because that’s what I am. I am not some “up and gaming thought leader” like I imagined. I am just a guy who lost big time. Let me tell you how.
THE PLAN:
It’s no secret I’m poor, but that wasn’t a bug that was a feature. I had put all my golden eggs into one basket, and then another, and then another. Each one I thought guaranteed to print cash like an unpatched dupe exploit. However, investing isn’t like a tycoon game. Each time the baskets would shave off a bit in fees and losses until I had only a fraction of my initial investment. “This was all going to change” I thought to myself, as I had a new plan. Because I am a gamer I thought I should invest in what I know, one final basket to shoot me out of poverty into a nice apartment. The basket: Take-Two Interactive Software call options with a strike price of $270 expiring September 5th 2026.
My plan being that with GTA 6 being the most anticipated game of the decade (maybe even century) showcasing an exclusive look on Netflix would skyrocket pre-orders and that the stock price would shoot through the roof. It might even hit something like $320 meaning I could close to double my money. Possibly higher, meaning a new high score for Largest Amount of Money Ever In My Bank Account.
STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!
Then, some fucking ASSHOLE DICKHEAD comes along and decides to be some big retarded gaming rights hero (or memecoin scammer douchbag or whatever) and leak Grand Theft Auto 6 footage! Now the stock price is $234 and I am ruined and I may lose all my money. I could have to start back at spawn (my parents house) which might as well be game over for a guy like me. How fucking embarrassing would it be to be the prodigal gaming day trader son going to live with mom and pop because I thought I could make some easy dough? My only saving grace is that Rockstar shocks the entire world during their Netflix presentation with The Greatest Trailer The World Has Ever Seen. But based on the leaks, that looks unlikely.
Anybody Else ever had similar issues when trying to play The Stock Market Game?

might be fine investors are short term goblins once the sales report comes out after the games release then im sure it will shoot above 250 but who knows
Will not be fine because I was trading options. The game comes out November, I need my strike price to be hit by September 5th 2026 or I AM FUCKED.
They got you good, man. These big games never quite live up to the hype when they’re shown to thr public.
Yeah. At the time of writing this I was going to change up my style and try to be on the winning team via buying the leaker’s crypto token. Glad I didn’t because I would’ve lost Big Time.
I think I am not cut out for investing in gaming and I’ll stick to just playing them 4 fun.
Knew nothing about stocks so had to talk to an AI to learn what you were talking about. Thats fucked bro, sorry… I seriously think it’s rockstar who leaked it so they can destroy all these “save physical games” and all the other stuff “Cyberleek” associated with his leak. Now they can villainize all those movements. And you are making me think there may be some stock fixing going on as well. Well sorry again man, the house always wins.
You shouldn’t invest money you can’t afford to lose! That does suck though. But moving back in with your parents? At least you have parents. In the West we’re retarded and put pressure on 18 year olds to have their entire lives figured out while the fat fuckin’ boomers rot in front of a TV. If anything your parents owe you a debt they will never be able to pay by devouring our futures
