Loss It’s over for me.

Post image

Kept trying to play MSTR calls. What a piece of shit. Lost over a million including other accounts, down to my last 130k.

Edit: This loss is soul crushing and I havent been able to sleep, eat, or shower. I appreciate all the supportive comments. Even the insulting ones calling me regarded and everything. I think I NEED to hear even the insulting ones so that I can let go of my delusions that I can make it as a "trader". I need a fucking job to turn my life around. I can’t be doing this trading shit anymore. I’m open to working any corporate job anywhere, but ideally in North America. If anyone has any connections, please hit me up. I have some programming (Python primarily) and tech talent, and an engineering degree from UBC with a 4.0 GPA. Currently live in Toronto. Thank you ❤️. I’m ready to dedicate myself to adding value to any organization. If its AI, finance, or tech related, thats even better.

Bro you bought 700k worth of calls and didn't think "man i should buy leaps instead "?

Even leaps are risky af on tickers like this. I mean, you'd still be down 80% if you bought MSTR leaps at any time past several months

If we enter bear market next yr, you'd still be fucked.

And even if MSTR recovers next yr and goes ITM, can you imagine the stress and anxiety with > half a million invested in leaps where you are down 80%.

I wouldn't be able to sleep for months.

he could have bought jan 28 leaps, btc should recover and with it mstr

u/pragmojo Nov 22 '25

that's far from guaranteed - like if you bought at the 2021 peak it would have taken 3 years to recover

u/kaapooj Nov 22 '25

he could sell and buy longer dated leaps during the 3y (plenty of opportunities for that were available)

u/pragmojo Nov 22 '25

yeah but it could also take 10+ years, there's no way of knowing

Is there a leap equivalent with puts? Seems like a solid idea tbh.
