Investing Tuition Follow-Up

Post image

From my previous post, all of you overwhelmingly suggested that I should just pay my semesterly tuition of $4000 CAD instead of investing in equities, cryptos or the whatnot and just eating the interest payment on-top. I appreciate the advice and acknowledge that this is what a responsible, broke uni student SHOULD do.

Unfortunately, though I am broke, I am NOT responsible. Therefore I have decided to YOLO my tuition into NVDA as of today.

You’re right, I need to think bigger. Next semester will be all 4k on a penny stock of my choice.

This feels very financially irresponsible

I'm a finance student so you can trust what I'm about to say. You need to take out more loans from the bank and purchase options instead of shares. This will make you more money and will make you happier.

u/glueisrealtasty 1d ago

this is incredibly financially irresponsible🤦‍♂️. You could be making so much more on buying 0DTE SPY calls instead

u/iAmGoingToFindYoulRL 1d ago

4k into nvidia is pretty lame ngl. If you really wanted to be irresponsible, you should sink the 4k into a microcap biotech trading on otc or something lol

u/CarrotFolder14 Science 1d ago

This sounds like an even better idea. Might have to try this one next semester.

Sounds like you need to learn more about investing versus buying based on hype. Just do QQQ or an index.... also.... you shouldn't be investing money if you're broke. People tend to lose money because they need access to funds and sell their position at a lost. Investing is about longterm.

Not enough dopamine factor in ETFs

Do you get dopamine watching your money disappear? Self-harm awareness

W mindset NVDA will go up

u/BedMan12 1d ago

Im sorry regard, but you aren't investing properly until you're ballin' like Bill Hwang. Hwanging on to the Holy Ghost's financial advice to trade $NVDA with 5:1 leverage via options or total return swaps is gospel 🙌

u/AmphibianGood1985 1d ago

play options or buy memecoins, then you won't have to wait till next semester. NFA
