Always good advice. Someone sent me one of those day trader Bros that constantly shows their Lambo and I immediately saw warning lights. I had to tell my buddy that he didn't get the Lambo trading...he got it off suckers who think there's a magical formula for average Joe to make millions with nearly zero risk.

Or more likely he rents/leases or otherwise borrows it to make the social posts and it will be repossessed at some point, always a good possibility.

It's amazing how some people can pull a long con.

A fair point and one I didn't even think of. At this point in my life I prefer more family time to anything like a luxury car. My old car gets me around town just fine.

It's how Tai Lopez got wealthy. Rented a house and lambo for his infamous "knowledge" video [0]. He seems to be a good marketeer though :)

Fake it till you make it.

Today's "otherwise borrows" is AI-generated

He could have also potentially got it off trading, since he'd have to show his Lambo first before getting suckers who think there's a magical formula for the average Joe to make millions.

Or, hypothetically, he could have rented it for cheaper and then bought an actual one with the money from the suckers.

When I used to watch more YouTube they constantly had ads where some trading bro is offering to share the secret to making money.

Why not just use it on himself instead? This guy has paid money out of the kindness of his heart to make sure the public knows about this bulletproof money making technique.

Even worse, probably rented the Lambo for a day for a photo shoot because he knows that’s what suckers will go. Cars, penthouses and watches - like flies to poop, as they say.
