Pretty much everything you said makes sense.

> Jim Cramer is kinda of an idiot, but buying NVDA at about $75 (or whatever it was then) back then was actually incredibly good advice (life changing advice really, that was quite an ideal time to make those plays).

This is the only thing I'd caveat, as it seems to suggest he gives good advice. I feel it's more benefit of hindsight; it's hard to pick winners from stocks, there tends to be only a few out of the many that are losers. Also glanced over this Reddit post which shows how he's underperformed the S&P500: https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/109cswl/inv...

Indeed, I agree. That "actually incredibly good advice" was more a case of a broken clock being correct than anything else IMO. Nonetheless, buying anything over AMC or GME at the time were good moves. The advice to not buy garbage was sound. Since then, AMC is down some 90%+ (and not to mention is now extremely diluted - there is no hope of recovery in price there). GME was rocking the $90 range and would be down now by more than 50%.
