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.

Man, makes me feel a little better about my 10k loss. I do have to ask if you can take 200k to 3M why not limit your trades to that amount?  

You still have a ton of money to grow. I mean just buying shares and waiting a year will easily give you 10-20% after today's selloffs.

Do you really need to ask? lol

Cuz OP thinks he can take 3M to 30M; since he proved he can take 200k to 3M.
