  • Just my own opinion, developed through my own lived experiences. I, consciously, chose to not specialize too deep into one field and instead developed a more broad set of skills. The recent research is starting to validate my decisions back then. As it turns out, college grads with multiple minors, rather than graduates with a traditional major trajectory, tend to be better suited to the work environments.

    Where knowledge of a range of disciplines helps inform a more holistic approach to creative problem solving. “Wicked problems” are often tackled and solved by systems thinking generalists because they draw on a wide range of experiences across multiple disciplines, departments, and sets of knowledge.

  • Thanks for following up and sharing this; sincerely. There’s not enough of this kind of emotive sharing with Gamestop. I agree that a lot of the ‘movement’ borders on being cult like in the blindly following kind of way.

    I touch base on reddit monthly or so to keep tabs because the same thing you find sad, I find absolutely fascinating. All the dynamics at play…from shifts in sentiment, conspiracy-style interlopers, systemic corruption to the highest levels of bureaucracy, and sometimes actual information about the mechanics lubricating the movement of stocks and money.

    I’ve been told I’m an emotionless rock though, so it might account for our differing perspectives on how people spend money.


  • Talking points: That bunch of retail traders made a bad choice and ego won’t allow them to bail out. That it was ‘luck’ for a few people a few years ago.

    It may have been a bad choice for you and that’s why I wonder why you posted what you did instead of your own opinion baked through your own experience. More powerful words generally come from personal experience.

    I’m not here arguing with you about the stock, it being a good/bad investment isn’t what I’m on about. I guess I’m more hung up on why you said what you did.

    Like, what was it that compelled you to post such a banal response to this post? It’s so sad that people are holding stock in a company with a ton of cash, a motivated and aligned management team, and very little debt?

    Sounds like you’re painting a brush and saying that any person holding Gamestop makes you sad. It’s a pretty broad assertion that, honestly, feels like it has a story behind it.
