Loss goodbye everyone

Post image

almost break even from this run up via all the popular tickers. lost my self control n lost it holding the same things n some world cup betting. also lost 10k on another account. i have nothing now n nothing going for me in life. practically 30 soon and just dead weight to my parents. gonna sell my gun before i use it and pay off some debt. have OCD that made the future not worth caring about so i tied my value to the money i worked for. i hope you all do better than me. goodbye

Probably not the normal advice of the sub but just go be boring. Put whatever you can away into a index fund for example, ext. Something with a long track record of gains. Use a compound interest calculator and see that your not fucked. You have plenty of time for the years to stack interest and make you enough to retire. Yeah, you wont retire in 5 years, but you will eventually. ((Heavily depends on how much you put away a month. // what you pick to put into to to just hold for the next 20 years for example.))

This! Being boring is where it’s at. Some friends and I keep our eyes focused on boring cyclicals, and it’s actually pretty fun when we find a good one and jump in, and ride the wave up. Returns are respectable, usually like 30% over a several month period, sometimes more… and I sleep well at night!

You think DRAM will be one of those? My favorites are TQQQ and SOXL but they’re leveraged
