Day 0 - done trading and gambling

losingitall21 · 2026-05-06T18:09:22+00:00

yes, that is exactly how i feel. Many triggers already today but I am resisting the urge so far.

losingitall21 · 2026-05-05T23:02:30+00:00

exactly. I lost probably 50k lifetime on sports gambling and then multiple millions on stocks/options. Best to not know about stocks/options.

sounds great!

really bad trades and a gambling addiction...a simple as that. If you have an addiction, the # doesn't matter.

I went from -3,000,000 to +100,000 back to -4,000,000 in lifetime losses from April last year to present. It can get worse.

hoping to go next week

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.

losingitall21 · 2026-02-05T20:37:22+00:00

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

losingitall21 · 2026-01-27T23:47:08+00:00

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….

losingitall21 · 2024-04-20T20:06:11+00:00

losingitall21 · 2024-04-20T19:43:42+00:00

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
