    I'm such an idiot. I didn't buy any of it.

    It wouldn't be $40. It would be less after taxes and transaction fees!

    It's not just you. A friend of mine has been texting me all week about what some of his stocks are, and what some others aren't doing.

    Money made during stable times comes from growth in the economy. Money made during volatile times comes from being able to screw over others. I'll take the former on my conscience, but not the latter.

    I have a friend who is blowing up facebook with "invest in precharge."

    "Precharge will change the world."

    And it feels really scammy.

    From what I can tell it is currency...

    Income from investments is good. Doesn't matter if things are stable or volatile.
