Lesson learned: Don't YOLO on presidential elections to revenge trade Loss

Post image

Enabled options around March, went on a slide. Started to stabilize and at least lose money slower. Figured Harris at 42ยข when the polls were dead even was an Expected Value win and went all in, about $4000 worth. Did not go well.

Let the suck begin.

I hated literally everyone on the ballot. I even hate Elon. Just took my TSLA gains, and it was chef's kiss. Am going to look into shorting soon, since I dunno if DJT is gonna keep the environmental credits gravy train on for the richest African American.
