I got liquidated twice in a week, 5 k and started again with 1k, took it to 3 then lost it. 5 k was lost when I bought silver contracts the day it crashed. I swore to myself I would wait for clear opportunities going forward, no weeklies, no fomo, no trading just for the dopamine rush and most importantly that I would always use a stop loss. Then I do it again, all of it, doubling down on losing positions on short dated contracts with no stop loss. I don't know if I learned my lesson but buying silver then asts and mu the very day they each crashed after watching from the sidelines for 2 months was pretty traumatic. All this to say that as upset as I am with myself for committing the very same sins again one week after being wiped out, I tell myself that this was gonna happen eventually even if I got a lucky streak first. I watch all these portfolios down overv50% in a week, with a lot more money on the line than I ever had, and I know I would have done the same, incapable of taking the loss. What is it that makes it so difficult to pull the plug? Yesterday I just looked away and today when I finally opened the app I saw that I could have salvaged my initial 1k and a bit more had I just closed everything Today there was 500 left and tomorrow most of the stuff expires, yet I still didn't close it Smart money don't diamond hold anything, the faintest bad news triggers waves of selling. Retail holds, unable to take a small loss even though it would take zero effort to buy back in if the trends were to reverse

Do you think so ? Even with BTC at this level of 64-65 K ? I’m not sure. I have few 104 puts lotos for tomorrow that will go to zero unless Crypto falls a bit more and so MSTR

I think you logicked too far. In general, when the fed lowers rates businesses can borrow more and thus hire more. Yes this also makes us susceptible to inflation because more borrowing increases the money supply. The Fed uses two key metrics to decide interest rates: inflation and unemployment. Okay so now let's introduce tariffs. Tariffs raise prices which to the Fed looks like inflation, so the Fed may respond by raising interest rates to shrink the money supply. As a result businesses don't hire as much and unemployment is higher. When unemployment gets too high, the Fed may lower interest rates again. I guess you're saying that at this moment labor is cheap and borrowing is cheap. Well that's if they drop interest rates really fast. More likely they gradually ease it back down. Tariffs aren't some hack to bring labor prices down though. You extrapolated far into the future and then arbitrarily chose when to stop.

Hey my business venture just died before it even started… and I lost $250 k in the process

Can you really think on a better thing to do on a Friday night if you had a trillion dollars and a big ass bag of k? I mean, we all knew the world was going to be burned down by rich greedy men but I never imagined they would be such a bunch of fucking losers

I did some market analsex on SPY just now and if you look the 50 day MA it has broken key support 3 times in the last couple months. The 200 day MA is cruising up towards SPY support line like it’s a homing missile with heat seeking capabilities.

At least you still have 300+k left to win it all back
