I discovered recently if I am on a date and Iβm not that interested in a second, all I need to do is start talking about my stocks. They wonβt ask for another one then, I wonβt have to politely decline.

GME bank consultation
Short story-time for amusement reasons only:
some days ago, I went to my bank (Austria). I am the owner of quite a number of GME shares and my broker app is actually just the bank-intern bond trading app, where I need to pay transactional feed everytime I buy (what is sell?) GME shares. I informed myself about the reasoning of those transactional fees beforehand and found out that by paying them, I have the right of consultation by my bank about the shares theyβre trading/Iβm buying.
So, I went to the main national building of my bank, they were really friendly at the beginning, enthustiatically, I mentioned GME to them and that I wish for professional consultation about the financial details involved with that stock (I am not a financial guy, actually, I donβt exactly know whatβs going on, itβs all pretty crazy to me).
Suddenly, their posture and mimick changed pretty suddenly. I was told, they are not allowed to consult about GME. To my question, why this was the case, they told me, because GME is βtoo irrelevant for the big stock marketβ. They are βaware of the past short squeeze, but one should no longer focus on GMEβ. They acted as if GME was some βchildish financial playgroundβ that should be forgotten about. When I confronted them with the huge recent naked short attacks and if they could explain to me possible effects of them if they were not covered, they just repeated themselves how βGME is not relevant, please focus on stocks like Apple or Amazon to be safeβ.
I left the bank, buying more GME shares.

Wallstreetbet's Christmas break
Gonna be checking the market every chance I get while pretending to think my brother-in-law's Cards Against Humanity answers are funny.
