Well if you’re talking 250k that means you had a very sizable amount to venture with and overall you must have a VERY sizable amount of net worth and I am Very Happy for you.

You are a good person and deserve it.

As for the eating at ya...boy I know, I once missed a 2500 percent ONE DAY move in options!! I sold them for 50 percent profit but had just started trading and messed up by exiting WAY EARLY.

Paid 5 bucks for each and at intraday’s peak they were worth 300 bucks.

Hail Mary last trading day that also happened to be earning day for Micron, I believe.

The pain fades over the days as we both know and I KNOW you will nail it again AND again on other trades.

But it is painful and I am sorry.

The great part is there’s always another day to be in the game!

Look at Tsla Action from February 4 to February 5. It didn’t take a lot of capital if you were willing to assume the risk. And while I was thinking about it because TSLA is such a Viper of a stock......too late.

Someone came in a bought a lot of puts. Alerted by a hedge fund guy I watch.

And the puts got quite a bit cheaper than where they bought.I almost pulled the trigger but got a phone call that I had to take care of..and then decided to wait.

Oh well..

Legendary investor Bernard Baruch was asked what the secret of his success was. "Selling too early," he said.
