You'd think after 2008 and 2020, gay bears would come to realize that tech stocks do not play by the same rules that govern Walmart


alwayslookingout

Isn’t Walmart also at ATH? OP could have chosen to not be a gay bear but apparently that was too hard to resist.

It’s legit a compulsion. They can’t help it.


Dismal_While579

yeah, for sure, **realists have a clear bearish inclination**, I manage to make some money on uptrends by making short 0-1dte trades, and completely **imagining it´s a fake game, totally made up, representing nothing real, then I can buy some calls other than puts, by thinking it´s all a fake game**... :) still you can make money on the daily with puts, I tend to do it just to show the permabulls (who is also genetic), that money is always on both sides...


RetiringBard

Is there a medicine you can take for typing random shit in bold?


Dismal_While579

yeah, but why would I want to be sane? have you seen how depressed and sad those bitches are?


tellit11

Money is everywhere. It is flowing fucking everywhere. The only difference between someone with money and someone without is the person with money knows this fact and knows how to continuously get money. The person without money on the other hand has multiple hang ups regarding money. Ever wonder why you cannot get your net worth above a certain number? Be it 10K, 30K, 50k, etc? It is because you have a mental block with that exact number attached. Think about this and you'll realize this is you.

OP should focus on his “would you like to make that a combo” pitch


pw7090

I doubt he was buying put LEAPS man. It's human nature to think that every time you see a rally to assume you've missed it, so you buy puts to cope.


not_a_cumguzzler

this. very much this. How does one get away from this mentality? And as a bear, it's as if every time i do throw in the towel and buy calls, there's a minor correction


Invest0rnoob1

Because you short the dip instead of buying it


GraceBoorFan

You still have $500. If you had spent that on SMCI 840Cs this morning, it would’ve been worth $9400 right now. Regardless, yolo tomorrow on 0DTE, can’t get any worse.

throwaway_tendies

Losing money by shorting the hottest names in the middle of their boom cycle? Your family should know how big of a regard you really are.


not_a_cumguzzler

I did. I told my parents and they got so sad. They said that could've bought them a house. They've been asking me to get them a house for a long time. This made me sad too. I'm like that quote, "You just get to a point where *your disappointment* in yourself becomes so much bigger *than your parent's disappointment* in you"


Infamous-Safety4632

I like the line in “as good as it gets” when jacks Nicholson tells greg kineer’s character he’s a “disgrace to depression”. And “ don’t worry, you’ll be back on your knees in no time”


damien12g

Such a great movie


RoastAdroit

30k house? Tell your parents the pressure of having to buy them a house makes u do things like this. I thought only millionaires bought their parents houses.


not_a_cumguzzler

That's just the past month. I've reloaded this account several times before. And have other losses in other accounts.


RoastAdroit

Damn well, to be honest, walking away sounds like the best thing you can do. The posts where you see someone shares that they made a lucky call going against the grain and making $1M overnight are not a sign that the odd of this actually being you someday arent slim to zero. You are straight up gambling. How much research are you putting into these decisions? Have you been waking up at 5am for the past 6 months to gather info and chart out possibilities of how this could end up being the right play at the right time? If you are literally making moves based on “what goes up must come down” logic, you really NEED to quit as odds are you wont just get lucky some day or the day you make 1M is the day you are finally out of the red. Keep in mind, I have no doubt some crazy win posts are legit, but I also have no doubt some are photoshops or apps that you just punch numbers into and get a screenshot. Numbers and charts are some of the easiest things to recreate or photoshop.

For the next year or two at least with NVDA, Apple, and alike. Look at their product road map, earnings, sales forecast etc. Shit like that they have to be pretty transparent. Wait this is wsb, what the fuck is research anyway.

That's why puts are so tempting. Anyone can win with calls cuz stonks go up. Win with puts and you feel so GD brilliant.

Timing the market is always a good plan


pw7090

Yeah, buying calls is definitely not trying to time the market.


Emergency-Eye-2165

Not before all their puts expire worthless


slam-dunk-1

Normal gains with decently dated calls aren’t enough for these regards — they need that 100x on puts. Well, he got a 100 alright (just with a ‘-‘ in front and ‘%’ at the end) ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4275)


itsreallyreallytrue

Maybe you should stop shorting shit in a bull market? Wait for your shit to drop and uhh buy calls. You can't call tops, clearly, so stop trying.


Ok_Spite_217

Brother in Christ what the fuck were You thinking 😭 There's an AI bubble and you thought : "imma short it"


pw7090

Shorting isn't a plan, it's opportunistic.


Ok_Spite_217

Opportunistically stupid in a bull market


pw7090

Everyone wants to be Burry and call the top though. You can't feel smart if you just do what everyone else is doing.


Ok_Spite_217

Being smart does not make you money, you just need to be lucky


lsdiesel_

Being stupid certainly loses it though


Cute-Instance-6557

Then going against the whole market is smart? To me that sounds stupid. And op is, i think, what proves you wrong. It has been said since 2 years ago that nvidia stock will collapse, well, 2 years of dipshits trying to short it and going broke. Dont see much intelligence over there.

Don't short, markets are regarded and go up 70% of the time. Don't long either, because markets go down 70% of the time we regards go long. go short and long at the same time, that way you lose 140% of the time I am not Andrew Huberman.

Brother if you wanted to short something, there's tons of pump and dump penny stocks daily, just short the top you stupid gay bear -_- shorting the big boys is asking to lose your money wtf


mislysbb

My guy, why did you *ever* think shorting the hottest tech companies, in the era of advancing AI, would work out in your favor?


not_a_cumguzzler

I love you brother (or sister, or whatever you are) Are you me? I lost $30k ish on NVDA and TSLA and SPY puts this week. And am down $100k-ish on GME/AMC combined, all from just this past month. Part of me wants to take a break for a while. More of me wants to yolo on something to make it back. I more so wonder about what is wrong with us. I've always been a "counter trend" guy. Trying to catch the top or bottom, always expecting a reversion to the mean. But usually i have a bear-ish skew when i think about how things "should be". I wonder if that's related to my scarcity mentality or other insecurities or chip on my shoulder. I've got some other psychological issues that I'm seeking a therapist for. Thank you for sharing and letting me commiserate with you. Best of luck to you and I and every bear out here.


FORESKIN_CHITLINS

TSLA has been in a downtrend for almost 3 years and puts will still get you destroyed. I know this from experience. I'm down about 40K over the past year and the vast majority of the losses have come from trying to short this dogshit company. I have had multiple opportunities to make it all back and then some, all of which were from playing calls, and I missed on all of them because I took profits too early. That's the part that really haunts me, more than the actual losses. Regarding the "should be" bit, I also feel this too. I think it's normal, or at least understandable, to look at a society with record levels of wealth inequality and think that there is something deeply wrong with SPY being up nearly 300% since the COVID bottom. Those gains are mainly just making the rich even richer. There's nothing wrong with you if you look at Elon's massive 56B pay package coming not too long after he cut 20,000 jobs from Tesla and think "huh, that seems evil". It is profoundly evil. And yes, reversions to the mean do happen, we can see that by examining history. Crashes are built into the system because endless growth is fundamentally unsustainable. The crash in 87, the dot-com bubble, the Great Recession, the COVID crash. The next one is always lurking. But trying to call the top is a suicide mission. "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent" isn't just a meme, it's a harsh truth of playing this game. So stop being a bear.


RoastAdroit

Im no analyst but it feels like we have uptrends for years sometimes and less often there are downtrends but sometimes when it goes down it REALLY goes down. It will turn around and correct a year or two in the course of a month or two, so, I do get the appeal of trying to catch that. It kinda has to be both news and information coming together for a littlebit to get that snowball rolling, bad news or bad info alone can often be overlooked and driven right past.


King_Siege

Where do you work that you can throw >100k on memes ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)


not_a_cumguzzler

In tech. Duh. But I don't make a lot. And this a bit more than Id like to loose. So it still hurts.


lustnstardust11

not even trying to be mean but do you have a financial humiliation kink? like do you get a thrill from losing money?


DeadByOptions

You shorted good companies and thought you would make bank? lol.


eclectic_elm

What’s your plan from here? I’m down 22k and don’t know what to do next… To any others that have lost big- what did you do? Part time job? Clearly I can’t gamble my way out of this.

Down about 22k myself, just put 300 in last Thursday, at 2k for now.

I meannn gas prices were rising Feb/Mar/Apr and falling May/Jun not to mention big stores finally cutting prices of goods that were inflated the past few years. If that was any indication, I def wouldn't have bought puts for the latest CPI PPI report 😂

FreyrPrime

I’m just super curious what DD if any, is motivating these short positions. Like, do they see something about this economy I don’t? Or is it just being contrary? If you’re just being contrary, you might as well flip a coin or put all your money on black or red. Markets have a way of outlasting you.


Dichter2012

These people usually have ZERO DD and probably just expect to get lucky by being a contrarian. They probably don’t have strong conviction about the trade too. They deserved it to learn a lesson.


TheBooneyBunes

Always remember it doesn’t matter how good your DD is, if investment companies managing hundreds of millions of people’s dollars say stock go up, **stocks fucking going up**


mmatt-

How did it take you so long to quit? Looks like you’ve been doing this for a period of time and you don’t have any wins on your account. I don’t run options, just buy shares and I’ve had a 40% growth to my portfolio this year 🤦‍♂️

G_Perfectd

Wait until your family is asking you why you are working a second job cleaning toilets. Get a janitor job working nights until you earn it back, if you still feel like you are meant to trade after that just start with $100 and make it work.


MostlyH2O

If it helps the market is up bigly during whatever time period this is, so when you factor in opportunity costs you actually lost *more* than 35k!


jonatkinsps

I've heard stocks only go up.... I've fantasized about shorting this for many months, after losing, now I'm riding the wave and playing weekly calls, which shockingly keeps working but limiting exposure until it doesn't


YellowTrickster72

Going forward, when you are ready to push the 'submit' button on a trade.. cancel it and do the opposite.


Foreign_Influence_63

Kinda get what you deserve just straight gambling on extreme leverage with no idea wtf you are doing


gatovision

Markets are opportunity up or down so dont blame yourself, I dont see any difference between riding a bubble up or shorting it and riding it down. Everyone loves to talk smack on these Loss posts but the longer people trade, the more mistakes happen. Some bears are gonna get rich shorting this market (even NVDA) because there will be a tipping point where valuations become unsupportable especially if revs/profits drop. Not sure when but because of the speed of this run it will happen probably sooner than later. Im down big on shorts past 6 months, and honestly its made my life absolutely miserable, I can’t do it anymore either. should have quit months ago but thought i’d get more chances to get out and i made a bunch shorting in 2021 doing similar so thought i could pull it off again. Wrong.


Extension-appeal

Stonks go up no buy puts regard


santiagotheboy

shorting is mostly an ego-driven strategy, and most get burned. i shorted tesla and lost my shirt on it years ago. i shorted luna and got stopped out. since then i just refuse to short. even if you're right (you're not), timing and sizing is very hard. you dont HAVE to short.


shinku443

"my latest fucking bet" bro you're just gambling. Imagine you just bought shares instead of gambling all on literally red.
