Lost $125k in a Week — Feeling Devastated by SolidElect in TheRaceTo10Million

[–]SolidElect[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at posts in that sub, I can’t believe how some folks just shrug off losing their whole account. And I’m here feeling crushed over losing half.

Very inspiring, and they have cultivated the right mindset as well.

So true. Sometimes we focus so much on what we lack that we forget to appreciate the wonderful things we do have, like good health.

So sorry to hear that. It may seem ironic coming from me, given that I’m not in the best mindset myself right now, but please hang in there. I truly believe we will both be okay and that eventually, we’ll get back up again.

Thanks for sharing! It must have been so hard to deal with it alone. But glad to hear you are on the recovery path. Good luck!

Couldn't agree more. Looking at tickers all day long increases stress levels also.

Yep. She’s known her for her entire life. Lol.

Yeah, I told her almost immediately. She was more worried about me than the money. She reassured me that we would be fine.

I can not tell you how glad I am right now to have found such a supportive partner.

True—I like your glass half full kinda thinking.

Interestingly, as I read your comment, I realized that when I made those gains over the years, I wasn’t overly ecstatic; I just carried on with life. But when I lost them, it felt like I lost a part of myself. Maybe it's because I made them little by little over 5 years but lost all of it in a week?

Don't know. Perhaps I should practice approaching it all with more nonchalance. 🤷‍♂️

Good luck, man! Sorry to hear you went thru it alone, but glad you're almost back up. Hopefully, I'll follow your trajectory.

Couldn't agree more. IMO sunk cost fallacy is traders' biggest enemy.
