Hello everyone,

I'm afraid I'm here to disclose to everyone that I'm exiting my $BBIG position. I have done some analysis on the proxy, which I was not able to confirm, but has nevertheless convinced me that, at least in the short term, it's too risky for me to continue.

I recently received a series of margin calls which have forced me to decide which stocks I was going to stay in and which ones I was going to have to walk away from, and $BBIG is one of the ones I had to cut loose.

The reason I cut $BBIG loose is because of personal financial reasons in order to protect myself and my own family's stability, which is something I've always advocated for everyone to do.

But now this has become a problem because too many people give my opinion too much weight.

Too often, I miss-time or am wrong on my investments, and perhaps I'm wrong to leave my $BBIG position, but that isn't why I'm disclosing this publicly.

It's because my opinion is given more credit than it is worth, and too many people are leaning on me for the right answers.

Today, I was discussing the proxy statements in a private discord, and I voiced concerns that the statement included some potentially bearish information.

I had said that I did not fully understand the statement and needed confirmation, but someone in that discord...

...decided it would be a good idea to start screenshotting my concerns and begin sharing them outside of the group without context.

It took less than 15 seconds for my momentary uncertainty to turn up on public social media.

And now I know that I need to leave.

I am not a stock market genius, I'm not an analyst, and I'm not a financial advisor. More than anything, I am not a social person.

And if my opinion can move hundreds of people's decision on whether to buy or sell a stock, then the time has come for me to keep it to myself.

This is the end of my $BBIG position, but it's also the end of my attempts to teach people how to make mature, informed investment decisions for themselves, because I realize that 99% of people don't want that.

They want someone to tell them what to do.

I'm not doing that.

I'm not here to be an influencer. I never was.

I don't care about clout, followers, or internet fame.

All that bullshit is meaningless to me, and it's not worth destroying my life over just to have a few pats on the back when I occassionally make the right call.

I want to wish everyone good luck and to continue driving their own financial independence, but from now on, you're going to have to do that without me.

I told everyone that one day I would disappear because I enjoyed my privacy and my personal freedom of anonymity.

I guess it's here a lot sooner than I expected.

I'll still be around. I'll still exist. I'll still complain about how corrupt our system is.

But stock picks and analysis? That's all gone.

Best of luck to everyone. You don't need me to form your own convictions and make your own financial decisions. You can hold strong on your own merits and learn to do your own DD.

Stop using youtuber's and influencers like a crutch. Rely on your own mind and your fellow apes.
