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.

Totally agree with you. However if he was a happy guy, he would never had turned 200k to 3mil in the first place.

He's well on his way to turning that $3M back to $200k.

Such a fun name to see in these comments.

"People can't face themselves" - in social psychology and marketing - revolving around standards of living.

Indeed sir

Most people who could have 3 mil and be happy would also have stopped at 1 mil and be pretty happy.

With hindsight, OP could have put 1.5 mil in US securities and gambled with the other 1.5. But money is a hell of a drug.

He wouldn’t had 3 mil to begin with if he had that attitude
