Chak OriginaLew: I’m totally F*d heavy losses on Tesla
Sold csp $250 , now it’s $228
OriginaLew : I've never had more than 12 shares of Tesla at any given point in time. (cautious & not high income yet) That said, I'm currently sitting on 3 shares held & abit over 2k overall profit & I don't do options as of yet. I Don't Know if you're doing options or what the csp you mentioned is but the sentiment I've heard from some is "don't ever try to short Tesla bigly." because it has a tendency to not go down for whatever reasons.
OriginaLew : also, some advice from a YouTuber I've watched...
"If you've blown up your account, then ¹ take a day or week off from trading" ~Larry Jones
² watch what's goin on still & take it as a lesson learned
³ you don't have to make up your losses w/in the same stock
⁴ don't ever revenge trade
