I love how the degenerates who buy bitcoin with leverage and borrow yen to YOLO on the Nasdaq get caught with their pants down for the third time in a year and crash the market for everyone else
You have the same dollar value in AMZN, AVGO, and NVDA. Do you:
A) Keep your NVDA
B) Sell your NVDA and buy more AVGO
C) Sell your NVDA and buy more AMZN
D) Yolo into some bullshit
I have been on a bender for the last week and some change. Been fucked up everyday brother, realized two things.
1. I am going to buy 10-20 acres and just get high and grow mushrooms, and make metal art.
2. This is all retarded so just yolo you shit on options so you can quit your day job and do the above.
I burned an account doing this. Basically it happens when you have a series of successive 50-60% losses over a short period. Those add up quicker than the gains and lo and behold you end up with barely anything. By the end, you might as well YOLO it on SPY options because otherwise the account is dead anyway.
If OP was smart he would have taken some profit and stopped whenever the rest went to zero…
Correct, this is going until it blows, and when you always go all in, eventually that is guaranteed.
But, I do hope to make it to a significant amount of money before then and then I’ll be more risk adverse and just yolo 2x shares instead of actual options
My long term goal is $100 into $100,000
And if I need, I’ll just spy and chill eventually, but I’m not convinced that $3200 will hit that by the time I retire, want to get to $10,000 at least before I let patience take me the rest of the way. Would be cool seeing that 100,000% gain :)
Thanks for your submission!
To keep things interesting, we want to see big gains and big losses!
So we've set the following thresholds for Gain, Loss, and YOLO flaired posts:
* YOLO posts must be a minimum of $10,000 of options or $25,000 of shares and recently opened.
* Gain / Loss posts must show realized gains or losses of more than $2,500 for options or $5,000 for shares.
We want to see the actual trade. What you got in at, what you sold at. Then tell us why you did it. Give us the story of why you're a fucking genius (or idiot).
This is what a great post looks like:
[$17.2K Gain on AMZN](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/wb5m4o/not_too_shabby_172k_gain_amzn/) - OP described his gain in the title, has a clear screenshot showing both the entry and exit, meaning his gains were locked in, and they explained their reasoning in the comments and what they learned. All around a great post!
Here are examples of what could get your post removed:
* [$300,000 SDC Loss. Still not selling](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/wpm9am/over_300000_unrealized_loss_sdc_not_selling/) - Even though this is a tremendous loss and something worth posting about, **the position hasn't been closed yet**.
Here are examples of amazing posts which could have been even better:
* [$75,000 DDOG Loss.](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/unsrey/loss_porn_ddog_call/) - This is a great post and one that won't get removed. However, the OP could have talked about *why* they entered the position in the first place, what their target price was, and what went wrong. OP didn't stick around in the comments to answer any questions.
* [$1.1MM Loss, No details](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/lxm6wt/hold_me_1100000_loss/) - OP simply posted a screenshot of their overall portfolio balance. It's definitely a big loss, but it's not that interesting without OP talking about what trades they were in and why. OP didn't answer most questions in the comments which left many readers speculating on what happened.
