Friends sister got fleeced out of 10k for investing into funny money stocks. Total idiot
Thanks for reminding me of the time I tried to teach a wahmon how to put her savings into an ETF instead of letting them rot from inflation in a bank account.
The process of “open the app, transfer money to it, now buy some shares” was like rocket science to this fucking bitch. She failed at something
every single time unless I was holding her hand through the entire process.
> Wait, you didn’t buy any shares?
< I… um… transferred the cash to the app???
> You need to buy shares. All you’ve done is let your money sit in the balance for weeks.
< Um… you didn’t tell me this???
> Think of it like a shop: you go in, give the keeper money, and walk out with 5 apples. What you’ve done is give the shopkeeper money but not actually buy anything.
< *Fluoride stare*
> Okay, now divide the money you put in by the sale price, then buy that number of shares.
< Where is the sale price?
> The green number up there. Also, you need to press the down arrow on the number of shares until it accepts your purchase, it needs to account for the commission too.
< *Fluoride stare* This is like… so complex???
I really wonder why wimminz weren’t allowed to have their own bank accounts until the 1970s. Must’ve been the heckin patriarchy being jealous of their financial prowess.
