That's the easy thing to say, but unfortunately a lot of well-intentioned people are losing money, like they did with GameStop. That's not to say I'm shedding tears for everyone losing money, but the ones that should lose it are typically not the ones it's happening to.


How are people buying in to GameStop after it has gone up by 20 times in price not "the ones that should lost it"? They're obviously just trying to get rich quick, and knowingly taking a risk to do it. Who "should" lose the money in a case like GameStop? I can't think of any scenario where it's not the people jumping in late to try to make a quick buck.

edit: Initially I vastly underestimated how much GameStop stock went up


Well-intentioned or just greedy? I'm not saying they deserved to get scammed, but let's be clear about their motives... it was greed.
