Notes
    gollark: What might be a decent strategy is just investing in every new meme and selling off shares whenever the price goes up by any amount.
    gollark: Maybe. The advantage of bots is basically just the ability to be on 24/7 and process vast amounts of financial data.
    gollark: I was thinking about making an index fund type thing once firms exist.
    gollark: I'm... not sure if it's actually possible to be generally net positive on this? Considering the weird way it works.
    gollark: Honestly my main motivation for trying to find this out is so that I can make my automatic investor bot work.
