“ Facts are, people investing in Tesla and Bitcoin are successful.”

Hmmmm....”successful”. That’s an odd metric not used in financial circles.

You’ve made money on a gamble that’s worked...so far. Good for you.

After 30 years in financial services I’ve seen that sort of thing. And I own Apple stock. That company makes sense. TSLA does not at the price it was a year ago, let alone now.

Any “hole” I am in is in your imagination.

And as far as speculative investments go I am in a few. But I don’t fool myself into minimizing the risk, or like you’ve said, believing my risk is ‘“nothing”.

Good thing I'm not using your financial "services"! I retired almost 20 years ago and make many times more now than when I worked. When firms offer financial "services" to me I decline, because those "services" are a form of gambling.
