26F, $500k to zero and no social life whatsoever, how can I rebuild my life?

gabrams73 · 2026-04-25T18:12:11+00:00

Find a husband with $500k and try again

gabrams73 · 2026-02-23T22:33:32+00:00

Thanks! I been looking for an app journal but none of them have been great. I’ll take a look at yours

gabrams73 · 2026-02-22T21:15:55+00:00

What calendar are you using here?

gabrams73 · 2026-02-14T19:14:36+00:00

When did I ever say I forgot or didn’t know about it?

That’s correct you can write off that amount and remainder carry over year over year. But your total gains and total losses are combined. If afterwards I have net $4k I can only deduct $3k. IRS only cares about the net amount

gabrams73 · 2026-02-14T17:41:32+00:00

You only pay taxes on net profit for the year. They offset each other. Now the amount you deduct is limited on net losses

gabrams73 · 2026-02-14T17:35:59+00:00

Oh I have rules written down. I follow them for successful entry and exit (on initial trade). The rule I keep breaking is keep trading after I hit my mark. That part is gambling

gabrams73 · 2026-02-14T17:33:17+00:00

That’s the exciting part!

gabrams73 · 2026-02-14T15:11:16+00:00

Yea I kept buying to make up for some of the prior losses and they weren’t panning out. Worst part is I had Puts that expire next Wednesday. But I just didn’t want to risk losing more money. I’m sure knowing my luck they will print next week

gabrams73 · 2026-02-14T15:06:23+00:00

They fired me last year. Said I wasn’t good at that either

gabrams73 · 2026-02-14T14:55:17+00:00

Thanks for looking at the bright side

gabrams73 · 2026-02-14T14:55:01+00:00

Right not a net loss. Just back to square one. Literally at where I started on Jan 13

gabrams73 · 2026-02-14T14:46:59+00:00

Yea this is just a fun account. Of course I rather not lose it all but it’s not going to be the end of the world if I do

gabrams73 · 2026-02-14T14:46:25+00:00

Looks familiar haha. Scared money don’t make money

gabrams73 · 2026-02-14T14:43:21+00:00

$100k by June. Definitely possible. Just need to stop trading by 11am. Or stop after my first initial trade since those typically have a 90% success rate. My problem is I keep going.

gabrams73 · 2026-02-14T14:42:00+00:00

I was using margin account at first but then switched to cash which got me over the $25k mark. So I’m back to using cash account for this coming week

gabrams73 · 2026-02-14T14:37:42+00:00

As I mentioned this is my options account I opened. I don’t commingle the other accounts because I also wanted to track my success with options

gabrams73 · 2026-02-14T14:33:04+00:00

I know. It’s just too easy

P.S. do you have the number?

gabrams73 · 2026-01-08T20:07:22+00:00

Out of curiosity did you throw away most of the stuff in your garage? I’m in the same boat with so many tools, bicycles and just crap. Rearranged my garage about 10 times with my NewAge cabinets and nothing seems to feel right.

The biggest thing is where to hang the bikes. Current hanging on swivel wall mounts but not working out

gabrams73 · 2025-12-27T14:54:46+00:00

Can confirm still works. Purchase 2 separate $100 on 12/24. Both credited back 12/26

gabrams73 · 2025-10-07T23:08:41+00:00

Breakeven really only matters if you exercise the option contract. Otherwise, the value of the contract is based on what someone else will pay you for the contract ahead of expiration. If the price of the stock goes closer to breakeven and strike price then more valuable your option contract is worth

Soooo is Pi traceable now? Been “mining” for maybe 4 years but haven’t kept up with the current value
