“Just sat down with my broker yesterday and am having him move $10,000 of my Roth IRA, that we had sitting idle for kind of like an extra ‘emergency fund’, into $DJT stocks!” one user declared excitedly. “This is the only time I would hope for the price to drop so I can get as many shares as possible!”
This is why we still need Social Security instead of just self directed retirement savings. Roth IRA savings are NOT where you source funds for buying meme stocks. With their mindset this person is going to end up penniless going into retirement, but luckily they’ll have some money from Social Security. They will only have that Social Security money because there was no way for them to touch it.
