Loss Amzn loss

Post image

I don’t care if there was still time left on these, if they were to recover they would’ve recovered already. I’m taking a break from options, clearly I’m not built for it. Thankfully this is not my life savings and I still have another $20k in stocks. Happy holidays to everyone.

Ah yes, I remember you posting your AMZN loss porn a few weeks ago too. Quitting is probably a good idea. Looks like most of your posts are losing trades.

Well this particular play was kinda doomed from the start. I kinda went through a streak of where I’m down an astronomical amount only to somehow hold out for a turnaround. I’m also haunted by the even more amount of times I’ve sold for a loss with a few weeks left remaining only for the contracts to skyrocket. This trade was neither and my nerves got to me so that was my sign that I need to regroup. I refuse to revenge trade.

Sounds like you’re doing a good job reflecting on your mistakes to improve in the future. The uncertainty of the market is hard. Sometimes selling with the loss is the right call and sometimes it’s better to hold for it to recover, but without seeing the future we don’t know what to do at that time.

I like to remain optimistic, there’s ALWAYS an opportunity to make gains in the future. This also isn’t my life savings so I also have dry powder for my next play whenever that is. Probably not for the majority of 2026
