A fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place, and we joke about this all the time here, but this post actually makes me sad. Sometimes the "democratization" of things comes with a real cost and it tends to get paid by those who cannot afford it.

Right? And even if that claim is true, which I just can't see that and he must be mistaken in some manner, he thinks waiving the 4% to sink it into more GME is "putting it to work." The level of financial illiteracy and how much he's internalized all this "to the moon stonks" **** we laugh about just makes me sad.

It must be 0.4%, not 4%. Otherwise, tell me where to put my money!

I'm concerned that his best case scenario/exit strategy is to more than double his investment in order to sell his 82 shares @70 in order to make a $120 profit? bruh.
