gollark: But make sure to immediately sell them if the value drops at all.
gollark: You should only have shares in one company so you're more invested in their success.
gollark: I can add a kite command to *my* bot if you have a good implementable idea.
gollark: That's ridiculous. Cringe things are unbased/acidic/acidified/antibased/debased.
