Lost 90% of my portfolio. Thinking about suicide is the answer.
Any advice from other people who lost their portfolio's?
I lost it by trying to double, triple, quadrouple down on a failing option and trying to fix it.

how did u get the 180k to begin with? what did u start with? do you have that now?
tell us what you did and i'll replenish your portfolio by .001%
Easy: don't try to double, triple, or quadrouple down on a failing option. Always hedge your bets, even upon things you assume may be certain.
How you gonna make the money back if you’re dead user?
Math exists in heaven, so mathematical ideals exist in heaven, so turing machines exist in heaven, so Bitcoin must therefore exist in heaven.

dont beat yourself up about it, with that mindset you were never going to hold onto your wealth anyway
poor is your natural state
The stock market is a place where you can make a small fortune from a large fortune.
Seriously, not just you, but many Zig Forumstards need to ask themselves more "what happens if I'm wrong about this? Is that a risk I'm willing to take?"
sort of off topic but do you guys remember when the go to meme was about investing in kneepads and shit?
is that oldfag? am i oldfag?
shit happens user, it's just a number
unless you went into debt for this money dont even think about suicide, you will make it all back
I lost over 250k on leverage trading
traded all the way up from 2k$. bought ETH for 20$
I went 10k to 200k on my first time playing options
Lost it all within a week because of trying to fix a mistake. so i'm actually up 10k. But my life is already so poor, that this is tipping it for me.
If you want to know what made me 200k
it was doing options on HPQ a week ago.
I'm a newfag on Zig Forums but I've definitely seen people say that here.
Lost 45% of my portfolio today by trying to flip bear to hedge my losses and lost on both sides. Shit happens, minimize risk and use investing as a saving tool. And don't use helium, they put oxygen in nowadays.
I used to work in a gambling anonymous center. you should just lose the last 10%.
Most addicts universally say that losing everything took the pain away...it removes the urge to "fix the situation". As long as the 10% remains, lots of addicts will be tortured by thoughts of what they lost and how they could fix it.
Take the 10% out and spend it on something. No use having that around to remind you.
Then the healing can begin and you will get over it. You will find peace with it and accept it in time....look man I went bankrupt before because of a confluence of events all hitting same time (out of work, car broke, divorce, etc).
It happens to a huge percentage of people.
Don't bro. It only took me two years to recover. Life is good again. Do gym n sheet. Worked for me.
Just buy calls on a company too big to fail for October or further out.
WFC is pretty much guaranteed to go up
So you went from up 2000% to up 100%. kys
this is why stocks are safer.
I lost 5 % today
Always cut your losses as soon as you can. Your strategy wasn't sustainable and you shouldn't have even had that much money to begin with if you were doing things right. You were gambling, not trading or investing.
Go on a vacation to Thailand with the money you have left. Just go wild and have fun. Bang whores and do drugs. You need a reset bro

Listen to this guy OP! I went from 3k to $400k in the 2017 crypto bullrun. I lost everything by September 2018 trying to make up for my losses by doubling and chasing and taking bigger and bigger risks. I did end up spending 65k of the 400k but by September 2018 I literally had 2k left. It's now 2020 and I am fully over it, although the first 6-8 months were torture and depressing and a lot of soul searching. I routinely took shrooms, ate edibles, micro-dosed LSD, and isolated myself so I could understand why I did what I did to lose all that money. I learned so much about myself and all the ways a part of my psyche was sabotaging my progress and my success. I learned who I could trust and who was happy for me to fail and fall flat on my face. I learned to humble myself and destroy my ego. Some months later I ended up learning a new skill online and ended up making money freelancing as well as being an uber driver. By early 2020 I had about 5k saved up and all my debt paid off and I decided to try to get back into crypto once again, this time with a principled and disciplined approach. As well as no lofty goals of making millions of dollars. Instead, I was prepared to lose it all the moment I converted my fresh fiat to BTC. And since then I have 8x'd my money. And the best part is I'm doing it disciplined. No all-in shoves, no emotional trading, I walk away easily if I get superstitious, I always hedge, I always look at the negative outcome first and plan around it. Never have I been so easily able to sit on the sidelines watching a coin pump, pump, and pump without feeling an ounce of fomo for selling at a 25% profit. In 2017 this would have killed me and now it's a piece of work. Most successful traders have tons of experience and time in the market. You have to learn a lot about yourself AND more importantly, you have to fix all your issues as they come.
Youre up 10k, it's all about perspective. It was luck that got you to 190K, it was balancing itself out thats all.
wtf you fuckhead after all you lust 1 k , who cares?
just go and start again
Why did you bet so big on an option play?
You can make it back
Nflx plunged 90% in 2011 and now is up over 10,000% since
you could make that back in 2 weeks at mcdonalds after minimum wage laws
No, I lost a lot moron. You don't know what I did. You act like I held 400k for 3 hours and then lost it all. I held 300k in crypto for months at a time. That was my money. That was not unrealized gains. Dum fuck.

The stock market is a place where wealth is transfered from the impatient to the patient.
