First time sharing my story on reddit...
Just roughly two months ago or less, I had about 57k in my stock trading account, prior to that I had a week in early September where I made about 23k from playing options. What a thrill that was...it was crazy to see my options go up double digits every day, and sometimes even triple digits. I spent 5k and got 23k from it. Got hooked, it was crazy. My other stocks weren't doing bad either but nothing like what I was getting from options. YOY I was up 200% and most of it came in 1 week.
Today, I have $0.85. Lost all of it playing options plus incredibly bad decisions with not cutting my losses with high beta stocks. Also got distracted from the birth of my son (too happy) to notice that my stocks were going down the crapper. Recently I started thinking about the money I could have had and just wondered what the hell I was thinking to let things get this bad. I guess I can't go back in time, but can't help but feel horrible about my decisions. Anyway, letting people know that this is a volatile market out there, and I gambled and lost. I guess I shouldn't be posting this in the "investing" thread... :S
Hope to eventually get back up from where I fell and restart my account again.
