I’m sitting here looking at these massive CEO pay packages and realize my account is currently down 40% because I listened to a random guy on Discord about some "guaranteed" breakout.
Meanwhile, these guys are getting billions in stock grants while I’m out here debating if I can afford a burrito or if I should dump that $12 into a weekly 0DTE call that’s probably going to expire worthless by 10 AM.
Does anyone else feel like the game is just rigged for the people at the top, while us "small-street" gamblers are just providing the liquidity for their golden parachutes?
Honestly, I’m not even mad anymore. I’m just impressed. I’m betting my last $500 on the same ticker they’re getting paid in. If I’m going to be a bagholder, I might as well be one in style.
Positions or ban? You already know the answer. I’m broke.
**TL;DR:** CEO pay is insane, my account is bleeding, and I’m doubling down on pure delusion. See you at Wendy’s or on a yacht. Probably Wendy’s.
