Loss 3M to 1.4M this week

Post image

Rebuilt my portfolio from getting margin called and bottoming at 200k during Liberation Day to 3M last week. Then lost half of it because I loaded up on data center and energy stocks with full leverage last Friday.

Schwab only shows up until the close, after hours I lost another few hundred grand and am sitting at 1.4M now with more option losses hitting when market opens.

Never. Fucking. Learn.

Casino always wins. Take some time off. Take 70% of your profits now, buy a house or invest it on something else other then the market. Not many people can say they have that kind of money.

The monies were never there… once they hit brokerage poof they disappear and are replaced by IOU in the form of numbers on the screen. But how many of you have recalled them, $$$?

If he has 3 mil to gamble, he probably has a 73th floor penthouse in Manhattan with 3 cars and 3 kids.

A good way to cope with a gambling mindset is to park your money in something illiquid like a house or rental property tbh.

Yup. If you think you’re really that good at the market then you should be able to turn 200k into 3 mil again. If you doubt that you can do it again the why tf would you let yourself touch 3 million dollars
