How bears feel rn

Submitted by NeedThoseGains69 t3_126xcmt in wallstreetbets

How many of you regard bears still in puts? Why do yall hate money? Literally just switch to the bull side and make money, stop trying to lower your networth before your wife divorces and leaves. This is a PSA to free bears from their misery, YW. - Bears r fuk.

To be fair I’m only down 90% this year . But I’m somehow up 50% the past 2 days yet I only have a small fraction of what I started with. This just doesn’t add up 🤷‍♂️🧐🧐🧐

50% of 10% is 15% percent of the original, congrats you only need another 670% gain to zero out

My brokerage account is down like 99% from ATH :(

Just realized my brokerage account had more money at the end of the dot.com bubble in 2002 than it does now

My retirement account is down about 50% from ATH but has gone from [new account] to like $170k now

I was trying so hard to rationalize how you were able to fuck up this bad for so long until I realized yup that's a gambling addiction.

You're not good at being rational then. Not having a plan and bad advice from an idiot at Morgan Stanley cost me 70%

I have an Etrade account near ATH I asked for help, they gave me a guy from Morgan Stanley. I asked him about cashing out my options and buying $QYLD he said not to. I didn't really have another plan. I should have just said fuck it and done it anyway. Had I done so Id have about 1500 shares of $TSLA, 20,000 shares of QYLD and enough cash left over for a 20% down payment on a house.

I looked at the QYLD dividend history since my ATH. The smallest was $0.169.... at 20k shares that's $3380/month, just about 40k a year. Not enough to quit and retire early, but enough to set things on cruise control.

Heck. I could have increased my 401k contribution at work, lowering my taxable income from work, and offset some of the in taxes from the dividend payments.

I had $TSLA Dec 2021 $800C/$1200C in October 2021 Tesla went up 80% in a month. My account went ballastic. It went from roughly 400k to 1,100,000

Peaking the trading day before Elon asked Twitter about paying Taxes. I spent the weekend wondering what the hell to do with the money. So many things I could do. I didn't have plan for my account going up 500% in a month. I considered cashing out the options, asked Morgan Stanley about buying $QYLD. They said dont. I had no idea what to do. I figured the stock would recover from a CEO sale soon, like most stocks do. It didnt.

That cost me 70%.

I forgot that no one cares how much cash you have in savings unless the bank fails. I could have put $600k in savings until I came up with a plan.

How it’s this even possible? How can you keep adding cash to your brokerage and picking loser after loser with never considering changing the strategy

1

reddituseranyonymous t1_jed1390 wrote

Its possible because I didnt do anything you said.

Buy Tesla pre split: 300% gain. Buy Tesla options: 500% gain. 15x in 15 months. Boom. Done.

Get overwhelmed when the 500% gain happens in a month. Get bad advice. Options for end of year go to $0

Now down 70% from ATH

Okay but that is like the last two years. How was your account larger in the dot com bubble than it is now?

Sensible_Thoughts t1_jef3fgq wrote

Yeah we re asking how you managed to lose all the money you made in like 20 years. Assuming you kept investing regularly. It doesn’t really make sense unless you just saved up money and then bought a shit ton of options. Which if true, who’s the idiot the guy at Morgan Stanley or you?

I went to the dark side and now im slowly making back the loses. Why play against marketmakerd when they fk everyone? Im in theta gang now. I see a play that makes sense to me. Go to options and pick one id buy. If it has a big open interest... instead of buying it and going with my gut, i just write one. Inevitably when the premium goes down i buy to close for profit

You should look at what the strikes are. Can it dump when there’s a ton of puts expiring down at 340? Sure it can. Can it dump when JPM unloads their call side of their collar tomorrow? Yes it can

As a bull I’m only down 75% from where I was in 2021 compared to 90% 2 months ago. Bears keep saying we are gonna crash it’s hard to go lower when you’re at the bottom already and stop saying it’s 2008 because it’s actually 2023

Closing out 60ish DTE calls tomorrow. Probably waiting til next week to hop back aboard the put train (or if/when $410 is reached). Lost enough on puts early in the week - doubling down hurt.

Might as well ride the wave up for now, even if I do think it’s insanity.
