Extremely Tough Scene

Dividend Kid Self Owns

Twitter finance “expert” Dividend Kid gives daily investment advice to his 15,000 followers, mostly steering them toward index funds.

However, his deep knowledge of personal finance didn’t stop him from quitting his job before his 401k vested, losing out on $3,000.

Absolutely brutal ratio.

It got worse as he doubled and tripled down on his ignorance of his own employment contract. The typo in a clap back about comprehension skills is the cherry on top.

The self own was reminiscent of Twitter stock trader @thatstocksgirl not understanding how call options work and losing half her investment instantly.

The lesson here: be careful who you take investment advice from. Big oofs all around.

Hot Take Of The Week

Halloween should be the last Saturday in October

Being tied to October 31st means Halloween can fall on any day of the week.

Was there anything more disappointing than Monday or Tuesday Halloween at school as a kid?

Is there anything more awkward than going to the bar on October 28th in your costume as an adult?

We can easily fix this stupidity by officially making Halloween the last Saturday in October every year.

Every downtown area would be packed on Halloween Saturday with people in costume looking for a good time. Huge boosts to the local economy.

Parents won’t have to rush home from work to go trick or treating with their kids. They get the whole day, then can party at night.

What’s the counterargument? Something something Pagan tradition? Shut up.

The best part is, since this is a completely secular holiday not tied to anything religious or governmental, all it would take to do this is… people just deciding to celebrate Halloween on the last Saturday of October.

You can disagree if you’d like, but you’d be wrong.
