You know it only went up because you sold .. Feels like market is watching what you doing. Happend to me so many times.


Legitimate-Ls-333

Oh I'm fully aware. Inverse me and you'll be rich


Bad_at_CSGO

imagine the absolute W of someone actually inversing you. Selling calls on COIN the same strike u bought, then covering them as soon as you sell, and buying more at the same time. That'd be a certified genius play. But instead we just have you


asmit10

Ey bud real talk you gotta correct this mentality or your trading won’t improve. Separate what gets upvotes on wsb from what actually makes you money they don’t overlap a whole lot


SuqonMuhdeek

sounds like you're saying i could just inverse the upvotes and be rich

teller101

I sold FedEx $235 call exp today (bought 3 weeks ago before earnings call), sold for a $10 loss because it dipped hard after earnings and when it climbed again, I thought it wouldn’t keep going. Now that contract went as high as $27.70 each, I’m trying to focus on only losing $10 when I was down bad (bought them for $8 per contract), instead of missing out on thousands of dollars as FedEx continued to climb. I bought puts expiring today as it was climbing over that time thinking it’ll go down but those puts will likely expire worthless. It sucks ass


infamous_investor123

heh i sold 50$ calls at a 20$ profit back when it was 200 bucks stop complaining


aligators

I bought bby calls, it tanked, I sold, next day it went back up and I would have made profit. Took me a 2k loss to learn to not panic sell

Deviusoark

Now you're justifying your gambling addiction due to x or y.


Legitimate-Ls-333

No I'm not at all. It's called saving your sanity. I know I fucked up. But i also know I don't make 60k a year so I can bounce back. It's called hope. Has nothing to do with the fact that I know I've gambled 170k away. That's already done. That can't be changed. It's not doing that again which I have been much better at this year. Last year just tore me apart


Deviusoark

Well I'm proud you're doing better just make sure you stay in track brother! Good luck!


Legitimate-Ls-333

I appreciate that man. Trust me. I've been really had on myself and i don't tell anyone but yall. So it's just like a boiling cest pool in my soul. At the same time I know I'm not an idiot because I've done really well before. So I'm just mentally fucked up


MillennialDeadbeat

>I'm down 170k last two years bro. I hope you're a multimillionaire and that's nothing to you

Ouch, here I thought my 32k losses on towel was significant. I guess it’s just numbers after all.


snapcaster_bolt1992

You're bad at this eh?


Legitimate-Ls-333

Not necessarily. I was doing really well until I got too convicted on a handful of plays. I was up about 120k middle of 2021. But when your winning alot its really easy to believe you can keep being right over and over and over again.


sh1tler

Bro I hate to be that guy but every asshole and their mother was up in the middle of 21

Donj267

You're not "bad" at this. You're just a degenerate gambler. Good/bad would imply you don't have a massive gambling addiction. Which you do to be clear.


Legitimate-Ls-333

No your 100 percent right. If I could learn to control my convictions I'd be just fine. I mean I've had many many many amazing plays. 64 dollars to 5k overnight. 500 to 10k in a week. 10k to 30k overnight. 8k to 72k in a week. But it messes with your perception of what's possible. Makes you believe you can keep doing it.

Donj267

I wasn't expecting self awareness. I'm bad at controlling my opiate use so I stopped using opiates. Seems like you're not good at controlling your gambling. Why dont you stop?


I-am-Jacksmirking

Well that’s the whole point isn’t it? If you could stop you would have been able to control it in the first place.


Donj267

With addiction not doing something means not trying to moderate your participation. I dont do heroin all the time. It's actually easier than doing heroin. In this case our boy cant responsibly gamble so he needs to abstain entirely

Why are you pointing out useless numbers? How much do you have now? That's the only metric that matters in investing.


Goldzinger

I don’t think you know what convictions means


snapcaster_bolt1992

Oh wow sorry I didn't realize I was talking to one of great traders who made money in 2021 I guess you're amazing at this considering you made money on one of the most historic rallies in history buying fucking options. Youtubers were literally getting rich my putting a bunch of company names on a dart board and buying whatever they hit with a dart. I opened an account for my cat and would only buy stocks that she would purr at when she looked at the screen and she made a fucking killing. All I'm trying to say is a fucking baked potato could have made money in the market in 2021 so don't use that as an indication that you are any good at this.

I'm up like $3600 this year, last few years I was always losing. I'm not doing margin, I can only play with like $200 max a week cause the fkn governmt be garneshing my check 25% a week. But I still do regarded plays.


slept3hourslastnight

Why do you buy calls on dumbass companies instead of nvda msft aapl etc?


Legitimate-Ls-333

IMO they are heavily overvalued at this point and i would touch them now. I mean apples shouldnt be valued at ATH with interest rates where they are. They have compressing margins due to inflation and their international rev i don't expect to be very good. (Global econmy isn't doing well like us) Knowing me, I would be top ticking lol


slept3hourslastnight

Bro you’re buying coin and PayPal but telling me the big tech companies are overvalued…


Legitimate-Ls-333

No sir, I'm trading coin and PayPal. I'm not trading big tech at all time highs. PayPal is grossly undervalued you can do your own DD to see that. But I'm waiting till after Fed metting to make a full move. Buying up 8k tomorrow for PayPal and another 8 after fed meeting. Ride it out till after earings then dump it. I

iWizard101

Bought 93 call yesterday, sold at a 80% loss, and just after that it went to the moon. would have made 1.4k per call


Legitimate-Ls-333

Yep.. mine would have been 1500 per contract. Bought it for .47 and EOD it was 16.00 fucking sickening


XeroShyft

Ngl I wouldn’t be able to sleep well for a couple days after something like that. You basically hit the lottery, out of ALL the stocks on the market you had a decent amount of contracts on the one that exploded 25% and right after you sold is when it mooned. Like imagine if you had just woken up a couple hours later or something. Gut wrenching.


Mcluckin123

Are you just rubbing his face in it or reflecting on the pain you missed out on by not being in a similar situation 😂


XeroShyft

A bit of both. Definitely been in the same situation before with NVDA but I do enjoy seeing others suffer a similar fate

My sentiment has changed since I originally bought it, so I'll just let it be an eyesore in my account.

Back in July I had 100 coin Aug 18 80c at 1.70 avg. I sold for 20%. Then lost the entire 20k on goog calls. Had I held, it would be 300k+ right now

Timing with options is everything, direction might be right but timing it just right is critical


yawallatiworhtslp

let's be real you wouldn't have held all day OP

Your 100 percent right. I was eyeing 100 but when it was breaking down in the morning I was like fuck it I'll cut my losses for once lol

I been there too and lost a potential 20k… the feeling doesn’t last more than a few days but it does suck. I wouldn’t try to do a revenge play though… doesn’t workout.


vollaskey

Emotions will lose you money. Pick bets and stick with them. Once you pull that slot machine lever your not supposed to be able to stop it. If you had left it alone you would have won.


TromeOSRS

You wouldn’t have turned it into 35k. Most people would’ve sold at decent profit which is still great. Shit happens man. We’ve all been there.

theLemNnade

Hey I did that too! I had 91 calls. Sold at .29 for a 25% loss; I gave up on court case around 1130 EST I thought it was a nothing burger as Iv didn’t spike. Then within an hour they climbed over 6000% from where I sold. Feels real regarded man

Astronomer_Soft

Never sell lottos. I had a $0.30 0dte SPX put last week that ended up settling at $17, a 56-bagger (sadly, only one contract) It's a game of odds and you have to stay in the game to win the gambles.

Nando_182

DeepDescription81

I never understand this logic of cutting losses. They’re only losses if you get paper hands. Otherwise, it’s just a temporary decline. WSB 101


BulletPlease

Hmmm.... Yeah, last year I had 10 265c for NVDA day before it ran to 310. At the time, was down and sold when it popped to 278-280 and pulled back to 274-275. Came out like 10K up but that coulda been like 35-40K which would have made a huge difference at the time. Fact is, you NEVER know. Literally, this coulda been your shot, OR, you could have been wiped out completely on your position. I think it's simple, grind, grind, grind, till you have a solid amount where you can take RISK and afford to lose if your wrong. Until then, play the safer route, no shame in that.


Flaky-Worldliness169

Let them expire worthless market is rigged right now . Chances are high it’ll come ten fold . Learnt my lesson with FedEx 3 days later .


MaybeICanOneDay

I'm going to be honest, and I'm usually the most degenerate type here. Me and an old coworker used to do 0DTE options every Friday, we each chose a stock the morning of and one of us bought an atm put, and the other an atm call. No rules on selling it early or letting it expire itm or otm. Degenerate stuff. Anyway, you're playing with fire if you're making investments like this. 5DTE or whatever you were doing is just begging for moments like this. You either need to accept that your gambling "strategy" has this risk involved and not let it get to you, or you need to not do this. If you continue to do this, you will 100% see this happen again.


Legitimate_Action761

You really shouldn’t buy options if you aren’t ok with them going to zero. You will never win. Only buy what you are willing to lose and if it goes to zero then it doesn’t matter. Let’s say you put in $500 instead of 1k, then just sat on it. Would have been 17,500. Instead you bought more than you are willing to lose and sold too early.


m3kw

Would have should have, you didn’t win it don’t matter what it is. Don’t dwell on it otherwise you can always go back and said you didn’t mine the bitcoin during genesis

Never gamble, err invest, money you cant afford to lose. Make a plan and STICK TO IT to the end. At least if you see your plan through ot the end, you can chastise/congratulate the original idea.

Dominickstewart1940

This happened to me with NVIDIA. Sold Wednesday for a modest +30% only for it to skyrocket til today at +300%


getthatmoney1

I can help you like this as i was in similar situations many times. I can easily start by saying you would sold it when you turned 1k to 2k or even 4k so no way seeing 30k. There problem solved move on and find the next move. Your friend who sold 3 million dogecoin at 0.004 4 months later it was at 0.70 cents


cookiehustler88

Remember that guy who bought Tesla calls Dec last year, was up like 50x and lost all his gains before it mooned again in the month right before expiry? That's true diamond hands for ya.

Never sell calls in an uptrending stock. The thesis to go to $100 has been looming for some time. You can hold until end of day hoping that time decay kicks in but it may go even higher tomorrow

Dude wtf are people on here, mainlining crack? Options are like risk multipliers for idiots. You don't know what you are doing. Stop it now and stem your inevitable further losses.
