Degenerate Capital
Welcome to Degenerate Capital, where two amateur investors dive headfirst into the stock market without pretending to be Wall Street pros. We’re here to prove that you don’t need an MBA or a Bloomberg terminal to make smart moves—you just need curiosity, a little risk tolerance, and maybe a drink in hand. Each week, we break down big-picture events shaping the economy, micro trends impacting specific stocks and sectors, and one or two trades we think are worth exploring—whether it’s a long-term hold or a short-term gamble. This isn’t financial advice—it’s just two degens talking markets, making bets, and trying to stay ahead of the game. Investing is a gamble. Let’s make it a good one.
