    Someone goes on to WSB for the fifth time this week, Says: Hey, That advice that i posted last weekend just made me 50k. Why did it get downvoted into oblivion?
    WSB: Because it was actually a good idea. We don't do that here.

      @@zefellowbud5970 Nothing is more frustrating than that. But something I find worse is when a skill is constantly referred to as a talent. I feel it ends up pushing people away because they feel they need some innate ability to be good at something. But I think that might just be on me because my connotation of talent is the same as it’s denotation.

    The problem with the fish “winning” is that it had a limited pool of stocks and picked 1 out of 2 per day or whatever the timeframe was. It’s pretty easy to give the fish an advantage by only giving it good stock options, while WSB has the ability to pick bad stocks.

    Loved the reaction, you have a lot of insightful knowledge on the subject! Just wanted to clarify though that goldfish and fish in general don't grow to the size of their environment, that's a common misconception. Goldfish like all animals have a size they grow to naturally(about 8inchs to a foot depending on breed), when people keep them in drastically too small of environments the animal gets stunted(in goldfish this means their outsides stop growing while their insides keep growing.) leading to a smaller size, a host of health complications, and a dramatically reduced lifespan. Glad to see that Micheal seems to have done his research about goldies too, as that's a wonderful tank for a single fancy! From a goldie lover
