The meme madness serves mostly

The meme madness serves mostly for profits. While astronomical gains is possible, it is likely going to happen for a minority of the investors/traders.

Invest in companies you believe in with proper research in the fundamentals and financials. That is what I aim to do.

Of course, not feeling good if I can't get the gains in the meme madness but will sleep more easily if my investment is in the red but in companies I believe in.
