^This. The error I have had the most trouble with professionally is precisely people using the wrong number of negations.
"I could care less"; "Never hesitate to avoid not making the wrong mistake in vain!; "One eye was dry"; "I have a red penny" etc.
In this case ti saw easy to understand the intended meaning.
Merry Christmas, just needs some green in there today.

I just went for some of the Jan. 2024 1000's for ~$100/share more.
LOL its a total DISASTER! Good lord these people need to spend their time better. Financial media needs to stick its nose elsewhere.

The youngest is 10 and has no idea about the stock market, he would have preferred the cyberquad that I saw selling for $4000 on fb marketplace. He’ll only care when he gets the account at 21 years old and can buy a house with those Tesla shares after a few splits. I thought we might get a dip and finally bought at 983, not the best price today but a Dollar cost averaging Lesson.

Feels good, doesn’t it?
I avoid letting emotions get involved, I'm passionate about many things (including Tesla), but I'm probably one of the most dispassionate investors you'll ever meet. I surprise myself sometimes with how little emotion my trade decisions involve. It's almost like it's someone else I'm watching make the decisions, especially when they are long-term decisions, not quick, speculative trades.
I actually think we may be in for some more very near-term weakness, but I didn't want to risk that it might not happen.

I like this post a lot because it really captures the folly of trying to use reason to predict near-term share price moves. The primary way the individual can get an advantage is when they have a unique analysis that the market currently is missing but that will come to pass and affect the market as expected. Or material inside information.
This "better analysis" can work great in the long-term but, in the short-term, it's not as common as people think because all the known information tends to mish-mash into noise. Only occasionally do things line up and create a strong opportunity. Successful traders work odds slightly in their favor and it's a lot of hard work, a grind really, but you can do pretty well at it if you happen to be exceptional and are willing to do the grind with big bets. It's a game of knowing when the odds are on your side even if you end up being wrong 40% of the time.

Update; overflow lot now about half full. However, apparently only white vehicles are in demand. 
"I couldn’t care less" is intentionally annoying.^This. The error I have had the most trouble with professionally is precisely people using the wrong number of negations.

"I could care less" is intentionally both annoying and grating.
Hence, attempts to correct the latter only reinforce its use.
Ah, English, my mother tongue, you are so powerful and yet so, ah, labile.
Up almost $70 since the intra day low. Nice comeback!
