Pissed I sold mine yesterday morning. 50k instead of 500k. Pissed I didn’t bet more. Burned too many times and got scared. Not sure about outs next week 9% in two days is nuts

Dude same, I sold as it started spiking briefly yesterday at market open. Had $20k in puts in the money at 9.99 on Ford, but then it jumped a small amount and I figured “fuck it, still up, might as well cash in now” at like 9.87

This game is absolutely brutal. Probably won’t be an easier catalyst for a while but hindsight always 20/20. Least we made some money….fuck me have a ton in bonds coulda made a lifetime of wages if I’d had some bigger balls. On to the next one👊

Today was worse imo. The drops and rally were absolutely wild. But at the end of the day, profits are profits.
