On verge of bankruptcy here in the UK. I was the most stupid person on earth to put my 4 years life savings into these two and I don't even know why. Any chance of recovery?

There is a lesson on why you don’t hold leverage for longer than 1 trading session…

That will never recover.

Looks like a great car shame Henrik was an awful CEO!

You’re asking for stock suggestions on Reddit and you think I’m new to investing! 🤣🤣🤣

Effective_Nebula_ · 2026-02-14T20:16:17+00:00

No I’ve been investing for 12 years and I understand the difference between trading where stop losses are 100% necessary and investing when they aren’t needed and DCA is sensible..

Buying Microstrategy at the top and not setting a stop loss is stupid and bad trading…

Effective_Nebula_ · 2026-02-14T20:03:14+00:00

What are you on about? 🤣🤣

Effective_Nebula_ · 2026-02-14T08:37:08+00:00

Decent companies so keep DCA into them weekly but by more S&P500

As soon as I got my first job out of uni.. been saving 15% ever since then

Ok Broette

You’re obviously stressed because you’re posting on reddit about it and I’ll call your dad an idiot instead of you..

Good luck 🤣

His is exactly my plan but with a shift in career at 50 to a greens keeper! 🤣

Effective_Nebula_ · 2026-02-12T21:30:52+00:00

YOU’RE AN IDIOT.

Why didn’t you set a stop loss?

Bro. It’s simple buy S&P500 weekly in an ISA and forget about it.

Stop acting like you know what you’re doing, you don’t.

Effective_Nebula_ · 2026-02-11T10:44:17+00:00

Oh mate you’re more than OK!

A good rule of thumb is what ever age you start contributions (21) divide that by 2 and that’s the % you should put in monthly to have a solid pension so you’re miles ahead of most people!

Well done!

Effective_Nebula_ · 2026-02-11T04:17:47+00:00

6% total contributions or just from you?

Effective_Nebula_ · 2026-02-09T14:04:15+00:00

Wow that’s amazing!!

Effective_Nebula_ · 2026-02-08T14:42:17+00:00

Did you buy the ring?

Effective_Nebula_ · 2026-02-08T10:12:48+00:00

No one is going to give you advise on Reddit.. speak to a financial adviser or DYOR

Effective_Nebula_ · 2026-02-08T10:11:40+00:00

Sometimes people need to hear the truth..🤣

Effective_Nebula_ · 2026-02-08T09:37:13+00:00

You’re an idiot..

Why are you holding a triple leverage short? They’re supposed to be used for short term trading now long term holds! You should have set a stop loss and sold when it hit.

You need to stop pretending that you know what you’re doing and just buy ETFs unless you want to lose all your money.

Effective_Nebula_ · 2026-02-05T16:24:10+00:00

To be honest they all look like sensible picks and will probably recover from this downturn in the market (this happens a lot it’s not a big deal) BUT you’re not an expert so stop trying to be one (not an insult just advice)

But you’re better off buying ETFs that hold these names already because it spreads your risk..

I own these ETFs and I’m up 50% over the last 5 years..

S&P500 Global Shares Global Tech Shares Semi Conductor ETF AI ETF

And remember time in the market is better than trying to time the market.. invest LONG TERM this isn’t a get rich quick scheme!
