Transcript

Now, being down $50,000 in two days, it would scare most people. It would scare most people, especially if you're trying to monetize being a stock trading guru. But as someone that's purely just in it for the love of the game, just purely in it for the love of just just showing you what it's like owning stocks. I'm not worried. There's only one option we can have. It's hold or we could DCA. But this is plenty. This is plenty of a position. Chap uh chips did have a major sell off, but it's it's going to be it's we're just going to hold on. We're just going to do it. Jack should have done in Titanic.
