oh for sure, as far as P/E and "expected future dividend returns" and shit it's all cooked for the overwhelming majority of bluechip shit. that's not where the $ is made
that book really is eye-opening, wallstreet never changes, they just occasionally rebrand.
PFOF is just bucketshops all over again, for an example. the game is rigged, knowing/accepting that is the first lesson you have to get into your head before you start making serious returns...it's...so easy honestly, actually really messed with my head. made me realize just how much time i wasted working the last 5-7 years of my life, made more in the last 3 months than the prior decade pretty much (and all with very little risk, i'm still not confident enough to short anything)
