As a kid, I bought GMGC stock and lost what was then a fuckton of money for me. I bought about $6000 worth of it and sold it for a 50% loss. The worst part was it slowly dripped down, all the while people were talking about how bright the future was and all potential blah blah blah. It was literally like being waterboarded slowly. General Magic stock did so badly that at one point people started calling it General Tragic. This stock caused me a long time of heartache. Fuck this stock and fuck this company. The only bright side is that I took that $3000 I had left and bought AMZN.

Talk about an amazingly short-sighted, self-centred view of what was a historically very important company!

”I lost some dollar bills so fuck those losers”, just WOW, deplorable view.

If you think that's such a great deal, give me $3000 and I'll sell you a pipe dream.

As a kid in the mid-late 90s, I bought GMGC stock and lost what was then a fuckton of money for me. I bought about $6000 worth of it and sold it for a 50% loss. The worst part was it slowly dripped down, all the while people were talking about how bright the future was and all the potential blah blah blah. False hope and slow drip down was literally like being emotionally waterboarded slowly and painfully. General Magic stock did so badly that at one point people started calling it General Tragic. This stock caused me a long time of heartache and wasted my time and emotional energy. Fuck this stock and fuck this company. The only bright side is that I took that $3000 I had left and bought AMZN in 1997.

Both of them are monopolies, time to break them up.

This is rich, coming from the guy that violated as many government anti-trust laws while he was running Microsoft. Without doing that, they would be a shell of where they are today.

He has the same mutant ability as Batman: he's rich.
