I think about Joseph Kennedys famous Shoe shiner line a lot, granted it was probably him just covering for insider trading, the sentiment still remains. The thing I worry about often is: am I the shoe shiner? Is my involvement in this market indicative of something bad? Im 26, no schooling on this, I just google and research stuff independently. Maybe its a bad sign that Im involved.
I guess the major discussion points I intended for this thread are this: How do you not become the Shoeshiner?
How do you separate yourself from an average trader and gain that edge?
You shine people's shoes, form your shoeshining empire, and become one of the best shoeshiners in the West. Comes with occasional game-crashing bugs.
I was at work the other day doing my typical wage-cuckery, when my 50 year old Scentsy MLM-tier coworker comes up to me, "Have you heard about the stock market lately?"
"Oh no, I haven't, what's been going on?"
"We're putting all of our money into a stock called Gamestop; the Wallstreet workers have been shorting it and that means if we buy and hold we'll get rich!"
"Very interesting, thanks for that tip..."
Now listen, I'm no expert myself (casual investor since 2017, only getting more serious since mid-2020), and I hate to be a ππ» and kill the mood, but when a 50 year old single mom who doesn't know a single thing about investing starts giving me meme advice, that makes me nervous and thinking about what happens when shoeshiners start giving investment advice.
This sub has doubled in just a couple days, and r/wallstreetbets has had millions of people join. Having people take an interest in investing is cool, but don't get FOMO because a bunch of newbies and bots are all spamming GME and BB.
GME is an unsustainable bubble and if you just blindly hop in at $350 a share without having an actual exit strategy, you're gonna lose it all. BlackBerry, while great long-term, is caught up in the same hype bubble, and if you bought it at $30, you'd better be planning on an exit strategy or a very long hold.
Do your fucking DD into where you're putting your money and don't take out fucking loans because some Reddit retards told you to.
I'm kinda new to the series so I don't really know, can anyone help?
In S6 opener, we see Roger receive his shoeshiner's (or something) box. Roger opens it up and begins sobbing, is this due to grief of his mother dying or is it less related to his mother specifically, and more the grieving of death/change in his life?
Or perhaps even he s just really going to miss Enzo or whatever his shoeshiner's name was? One thing I do love Roger, even when told his mother's death, he manages to find that dry wit :)
Caroline "She died on the toilet"
Rog "Well, I asked, didn't I"
Anywhere on or near campus. Gotta prep for that career fair.
I notice that, very consistently, the shoeshiner appears in every first episode of seasons 1~3, when a main character walks passing by the vending machine in the police station. In season 3, Bosch and Lt. Billets even greet the shoeshiner.
See the images below:
My questions are: (1) Who plays the shoeshiner? Is it one of the production staffs? Amazon X-ray doesn't identify this actor.
(2) Does the shoeshiner also appear in season 4? (I recently watched season 4 but was not paying attention to the shoeshiner.)
