What do I buy low and sell high?

You simply need a diversified portfolio of assets, then you do shorts but don't do puts or something.

I actually have no idea what any of that means, but I have a friend who does stocks stuff and that's the sort of thing he says lol.

Source: I buy stocks.

I couldn't say, but avocados are a cash crop utilized by cartels

So are you telling me to fund terrorism?

I'm not telling you to do anything. You are the master of your own self
