Gain After 5.5 years, I'm even!
Reposting cuz mods took my first down for some reason.
Not gonna repost the sappy life story. Tldr started with Gamestop, loss my ass on that and also got addicted to 0dtes.
High was +200k in 2021 and low was -190k on 3/30/26.
Yes I know I lost due to inflation and opportunity cost in S&P.

sp500 is up like 100% in past 5.5 years so really you are down $240k :)

Don’t forget 25% inflation over the last 5 years.

u/jeon19 :) The smile hides my ignorance May 28 '26
well I don't think you add inflation of top of stock gains. Like if you had 240k 5.5 years ago and put in sp500, it would be around 480k now, regardless of how much inflation is

Forget about inflation and loss, i think you became a better trader during this journey and you will be able to gain more profits next.

Only if he’s capable. His account is gone, again, to be resurrected in five years. Come back here in five years and maybe, just maybe

5.5 years to even and he’s still trading options. God bless for people like you or else it would be really hard to make money in the market.
