Gain Taxable gains achieved.

Post image

It's been a rough year but finally recouped all of my capital losses from several years ago. Never thought I'd be happy to pay capital gain taxes again. Started out with 35k last Feb. Pulled out enough to cover the rest of the mortgage.

No more YOLO trades or 0-1 DTE(unless I am committed to losing it). If I'm up x3, best believe I'm closing the position and not looking back. No ragrats if it goes x10 the next day. There will always be more opportunities for trades. Shifting to this mindset helped me out tons.

Thousands of trades but the most memorable ones were on SPY, COST, MSTR, LLY, TSLA.

Anyway see y'all when the casino opens or when I'm back at 0 again. Which ever comes first

Quit while you are ahead.
