About 2500 when I opened my Roth IRA around 20 years ago. Between that, my 401K, and my trading account, I am now sitting right around a million.

I have $600K in intel LEAPS, approx 2x leverage

Just woke up from a coma. I went all in on SPCX at $222. Am I rich now?

You got a good point there about people not posting their losses. By the way my biggest winners were mostly sheer luck. They're NVDIA and Micron and a construction company in the Netherlands. Nvidia and Micron I bougt in 2021. Nvidia back in the day between 350 and 500 a share, but considering 3 or 4 stock splits my average is at 18 dollars. With Micron it's at 79 dollars. My rationale for Nvidia for example back then, in 2021, was that I always bought Nvidia cards, they were always innovating, creating demand instead of feeding demand, they were just starting out with data centers and it was already surpassing their consumer market revenue, and they were working on AI, which, back in 2021, I figured AI would definitely become important in the future, groundbreaking even, but I had no idea when. I figured it would definitely become another form of income for Nvidia, but it was the last reason I put my money on them. Micron was because I figured memory is needed for more and more things, and I reckoned the future would only create more appliances or technology that required more memory, again, I hadn't foreseen that AI would require shittons of memory. I based both my choices for them on fundamentals and logic, but I never saw the AI hype coming, especially not this quick.

Maybe this would shock me if I didn't move to Brazil a few years ago :v I'm used to seeing stuff that's multiple times worse now.

I'm a pretty boring buy and hold guy. But you can kinda see where my portfolio went away up when I started to look at the WSB favorites. RKLB, ASTS, etc. I'm up basically 200% YTD and my 3 year is like 300%. I probably had 30k when I started 11 years ago when I got my first job. Otherwise it's all savings and retirement funds.

I quote this all the time when I lose my glasses and no one ever gets the reference. Feels bad.
