I made more money this week than I made the entire first quarter this year. I also lost more money than I ever thought I would, without going postal or rage quitting.
To make and lose a healthy yearly salary in the same week is a life changing experience. There's no turning back now. I'm officially a day trader.
It looks like I'm riding it out until the conference call on Thursday. I know I should have gotten out at $3 but this is my first month doing this full time and I was trying to test my own resolve and will.
When I saw that drop at 2:58 and it halted at 3:02 was one of the most exciting times I've had all year, and I hit a jackpot in Vegas in January.
I've been investing for years (always long positions with stock, trading crypto) and I always hear about people getting caught holding a bag. Today was the first time it happened to me.
If I sold at $3 i would be very happy but I am happy that I did not panic sell. I still have all 1500 IZEA shares, if Ted pulls another finesse next week I may have to check his temperature. bytch ass had me up at 8 refreshing IG and twitter waiting on that "shaky" announcement.
There is Nothing like opening Fidelity on a Monday morning and seeing your account with 60k more than when you last checked.
Then after paying for lunch on Wednesday checking Fidelity and seeing you have 3k less than you originally started investing with..
I sent both you a message for an invite to the discord. June 1st I put up the 25k to go full time and I've been locked in. I've done well using my experience from trading bitcoin but it would be great to kick shyt in real time with people more skilled and experienced than me. This penny, option, market crash shyt is the wild wild west. Even wilder than crypto, because at least with crypto I can understand the tech / usefulness / application of a new coin I may trade.
For the life of me I can't understand why Hertz shot up like that, after declaring bankruptcy and receiving notice that their stock would be delisted. Why would anyone want the stock of a potentially worthless company?
It's not even as much the picks as it is the lil things. If I knew where to look at the order book in real time I would have saw the million share IZEA sell-off ten minutes before the announcement and reacted accordingly.
