oh and to answer your other question about the drop in the market..before this huge drop I missed out on $250k on TSLA because I hesitated to buy puts when I knew I should buy based on option activity. If I had had another day I probably would have bought them..but timing is everything.

I am not over it yet. And thus, haven’t capitalized on the drop like I should. I have to shake it off. I can barely even type about it I am still so hacked off.

So yes I made money..but not killing it. Have to get my head back in the game

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!
