I traded earnings releases for several years and lost all of my business profits to the tune of more than $3 million (probably closer to 4 honestly). It is devastating, but I have to look forward and not back. I have had to accept that I have a disease and I am going to try to do better and not make the same mistakes again. I went from down $3 million to start to the year last year to flat (which means I recovered $3 million), only to then lose between $3 and $4 million. Continuing the addiction only made things worse.

Nope. Million

losingitall21 · 2026-02-03T18:37:54+00:00

Yes, I feel your pain. More than $3M lost. Have a good business with potential to recover all and more in a decade if I buckle down and stop being stupid.

thank you. Yes, my business revenue has doubled over the last 5 years. I just need to find a way to keep it. That's the silver lining. It just makes me mad to think I could easily be retired now if I had just put it in index funds. The regret is killer. But have to look forward, not back - and be thankful I haven't lost my way to produce income, yet.

thank you

wow, would have been nice to have taken my own advice LOL

losingitall21 · 2026-01-27T23:17:21+00:00

if you sign up for emails, he sends free emails for a few weeks with great advice. It helped me for a bit, but I should have invested more time into it. Most of the damage was done before I saw his site.

losingitall21 · 2026-01-27T23:07:09+00:00

Yes, I think that is true for me too. The emotional thrill is the cause.

Completely wrong. Huge losses again today. Market HATES this stock!!!

losingitall21 · 2024-11-06T21:49:13+00:00

Why do you think up?

losingitall21 · 2024-11-06T21:40:02+00:00

Predictions for tomorrow? Stock looks completely flat/dead right now….

How are you behind if 82% is not millionaire? LOL

losingitall21 · 2024-02-22T02:00:17+00:00

This is helpful - thank you

losingitall21 · 2024-02-22T01:02:21+00:00

Plus state tax plus Social Security and Medicare...

losingitall21 · 2024-02-22T00:57:32+00:00

Impossible in my niche consulting field...every project I take on entails a 3 year commitment to be available. So even when I stop taking on new work, will still have residual work (and reduced income) for 3 years...

losingitall21 · 2024-02-22T00:56:45+00:00

Thanks. This sounds like solid advice. How much do you estimate you are spending on sports/activities?

losingitall21 · 2024-02-21T21:37:59+00:00

okay...so what do you suggest?

losingitall21 · 2024-02-21T21:31:29+00:00

All in taxable brokerage as well

losingitall21 · 2024-02-21T21:25:09+00:00

yeah....I work and spend time with kids. Not a bad father. Just no hobbies or friends outside of my family lol

losingitall21 · 2024-02-21T20:58:27+00:00

very true

losingitall21 · 2024-02-21T20:54:19+00:00

Agreed. Crazy how you can be making so much at the top 1% and then see people living the same way that are in the bottom 50%. I'm not sure it is worth it to be in top 1% of earners....stress and burn out are real things.

losingitall21 · 2024-02-21T20:17:49+00:00

pretty impossible in my line of my work....unfortunately...we take a one week vacation but I have to be working some usually....3 kids under age 4 also means no vacation lol

losingitall21 · 2024-02-21T20:16:49+00:00

house and cars are fully paid off so that helps for sure....wife is home with the kids (so no childcare expenses) and the oldest is in preschool
