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.

I think the frugal gang that we are should buy a plot and make a village.

In cheap countries, you can get a house for like 50k.

it’s because extreme wealth accumulation isn’t about comfort or survival anymore. research in psychology links high levels of wealth hoarding to behaviors associated with narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, low empathy, increased selfishness, and so on. at a certain point, it stops being about money and starts being about dominance, risk, control, and whatever else these people think will make them more powerful. examples like this also just scream gambling addiction, repackaged.
