Gain 10x... $123k -> $1.2M on HIMS

Alright lady and gent degens. I present to you my first ever 10x on a single trade. I'm pretty proud of this bad boy.

Hope you all rode this rocket up with me. This was hell of a fucking trade.

question is why all or nothing? as opposed to sell 5% each bit on the way up

Yeah you can do that... I just don't like to dilly dally around. I like to be either IN, or OUT. Personal preference.

dam im the literal opposite. i just have limit orders set at different prices so a portion sells when it hits that price. too much fomo if i sell everything too early it feels psychologically safer.

This is the part I do not understand with some of my friends. My guess is the willingness to get the jackpot and in their mind they will never have to work or they will feel accomplished. I get it some amount of money can be life changing. Humans never have enough of this evil
