I mean by now it has become quite obvious that this sub is no true value investing sub anymore, but rather hijacked by countless dopamine-junkies and gambling-addicts. Still:
Real investing is boring, yes. It is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Going for dopamine is something else. I mean: Go basejump, sniff a line of coke, binge-watch TikTok bullshit or whatever else tickles your fancy - none of that stuff has anything to do with investing. Even if you get your "kick" out of gambling in the stockmarket.
If one picks stocks to experience a rush, one is not simply an idiot, but also a junkie. A person without composure. Irrational - but certainly not "intellectual".
Because one has to be smart to not engage in any of this behaviour.
I´ll put it like this: More than 20 years in this "game" (which never was a game to begin with, but rather a serious topic deciding about my future and my retirement) and with some average 17% per annum, I must admit that no less than 99,9% of companies I´m analysing myself simply make it onto the "too hard"-pile. Note that this average includes the early years which, in some cases, wiped out 50% of my portfolio simply because I was as stupid as most "investors" out there. Even worse: There are many sectors I do not understand until this day, and I certainly did not understand them back in the old days. So nowadays I stay humble and within my circle of competence. That sometimes meant: No buys in months, sometimes even years. Longest "I did nothing at all"-period in my life: close to 1 1/2 years. In the meantime, others kept joking about me over and over again: "You´re missing out on the NFT boom!" and "You are missing out on DOGE coin!" and "You are missing out on \[insert random hype\]!"
Now you may ask yourself who lost their life-savings. Hint: It ain´t me.

As I said: Investing is like watching paint dry. And that is okay, because I am not looking for entertainment, but for creating and maintaining wealth.
So no, I do not feel the same way at all. Because I am not stupid.

DOGE cut 4,300 jobs from the FDA. Their incompetencey now is directly connected to Trump. If you support his idiotic positions say it with your chest out. That's your mans. This is the bed y'all made.

Thanks Trump!
" The Trump administration has significantly restructured and downsized the FDA, eliminating thousands of jobs across food safety, medical devices, and tobacco centers. These workforce reductions and grant cancellations—driven by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) agenda—have triggered widespread delays and reduced oversight."

Was 130 sats/DOGE 3 Weeks ago, now it's 110 sats/DOGE. Did you mean 25% down? It was over 200 sats/DOGE 6 months ago.
(BTC/DOGE, the proper way to watch the coins value)

Yeah it's hard man. My wife tells me every day how she wants to leave (either the state or the country) after I worked so unbelievably hard for years trying to build a life.
I can maybe relate to your industry struggles. I was adjacent/peripheral to the wrath of DOGE. Ultimately fine but certainly not good for morale.
It seems like many are feeling that with the money class. Not enough yet though. Though I have heard some discontent from the absolute least likely sources lately though, so there's that.

Most I can do is handicap NASA with DOGE. Take it or leave it. 

Retard on CNBC wearing a ghey ass bow-tie that makes him look like a low-rent version of Colonel sanders just tried blaming explosive diarrhea on DOGE cuts.
We get it, bro - you lost your grant - but we've been eating and shitting garbage for decades. Every now and then, people gonna poop their pants.

So like the people that DOGE fired? The people that SCOTUS just ruled the President can fire?
Who exactly don't they have control over? The Federal Reserve?

No, there are tons of cryptocurrencies that use SHA256 hashing. BTC miners can also mine BCH and DOGE. Not saying prices will go up etc but mining is a healthy industry. They use a ton of power and are embedded in the utility grid in USA and EU.

I'm holding DOGE so I can offset cap gains
