Traded Myself Stupid — Lost HALF My Intra-Day Gains

I got greedy and made some mistakes — full chested, big dicked, testosterone laden with hubris errors. I stepped into piece of shit E-gaming incel play SLGG and lost a quick 7%. I had a 6% gain in BLNK and watched it dissipate to a booked loss of 3%. I made an error by thinking ZAGG could win, and lost a quick 3.8%. I did a few good trades too, but on the whole — I presided over a 2.6% gain by 2:30pm and then proceeded to rapidly reduce said gains, as if I were some sort of retarded monkey. I closed out the session utterly and completely depressed, up 1.2%.

In theory, I should be pleased with 1.2% — but I am not. My day has been ruined and I feeeeeeeel like a loser — so there is that.

Perhaps the stock Gods will bestow an AH’s scorcher for me like they did last night with GMHI — permitting me to sell from the confines of my local target at 7pm for a 17% gain. Ah, the halcyon days of last night. I only wish I could relive that over and over again for the balance of my days.

95% long into the close — not feeling good about it either.

      Biggest Looo$er* Ever Found More Massive Frogs Today

      “In fact, year after year, Mr. Trump appears to have lost more money than nearly any other individual American taxpayer, the Times found when it compared his results with detailed information the I.R.S. compiles on an annual sampling of high-income earners,” Buettner and Craig write.

        Hopefully State Media will, at some point, deprogram TDS sufferers.

        Get well.

          Lol, not a chance. Dude is going to his deathbed with hate on his headstone. All in the name of cultish political ideology that attacks the idea of thinking for yourself as an individual, which is sad. As opposed to posting a magazine rag article trying to sell you something akin to middle school gossip which you would happily post on a finance blog out of the blue pertaining to nothing of relevance

            Fly and Fly’s alts, it’s okay to just have a laugh at political humor and move on without writing essays.

            I’ll also reiterate that the problem that I have is with the Trump voters (i.e., the Nazis) and not TDS per se.

        How many years will Biden be able to say, we can’t do whatever because of the ‘mistakes of Trump’?
        1 yr, 2 yrs, 3 yrs, 4 yrs, forever?

      I think “one-eighty” is an actual European.

        I am not one-eighty but, fair to say, your alts are less grumpy than his alts. Trolling a blog that averages 5 comments on a normal day is still an unwise use of time regardless of any personal vendetta.

          No personal vendetta. This just one of the pro-Trump blogs I still occasionally (i.e., not even daily) troll but will be removed from my browser tabs if the readership keeps dropping.
