Try a torch with wax instead of oil, works faster.

Remember your uncle's broker was probably some guy in a bad suit making cold calls between martinis. Now it's just you and a phone screen, which is fine because most "personal advice" back then was just pushing whatever got the broker a vacation. Sure, apps let people do dumb stuff faster, but let's be real, the average person picking stocks is just guessing anyway. The whole debate feels like arguing over two different ways to lose money, just with different levels of polish.
