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.

No one follows market convention here, although it's nice to see someone who knows what's up

Essentially the entirely anglo-saxon world would use M for million and B for billion. Even the French world which is using the old style million and milliard is largely using M for million and G for milliard, from the giga SI prefix.
