If you feel your job is stable and you can afford it max out your 401k contribution and stick those into etfs. Any raise you get afterwards you won't have to worry about how much more to put in.

Stash 6 month gross income rainy day in money market, CD Ladder over 12 months for the amount you're saving for like a car or a house.

Follow this subreddit for the rest.

Idk why you’re apologizing or care this much to correct me, you made less than me today and probably in general too LOL.

It’s supposed to be a fun gain post, why do fat top hat discord mods like you try to forcefully exert your intelligence on others? Send me that all time chart or move on bud

Midpoint was 44.50ish, and I executed at 46.75. Not going to go through making a new fidelity account and doing all that extra work just to risk illiquidity in the OTC market.

It’s easy to critique when you have hindsight. Send me a post next time you have puts on a company that delists and goes under so I can learn from your wisdom 😉

I’m 99% sure you lost easy money here.

You could have put your price at $49.50 and a market maker would immediately bought you option and executed your option for you.

My guess is you did the midpoint suggestion from Robinhood on the spread or just did a market order and hit the open bid price.

I am not that Sophisticated. This was one of the big moments where I knew I was good enough to find the value but I sucked at execution. I alllowed this pain to sink in deep. I continually reminded myself how I could have used that money or if I had it I could xyz, I used it as fuel. It took another 3-4 months before I could find or identify when I should contemplate exiting a trade, and to justify it with reason or logic or whatever. I still could not exit at the best time or anywhere close to it. I still lost but was no longer bleeding.

At this time I was deep in therapy for an injury that fucked me up. I went through CBT and it dramatically changed my life. I started taking care of myself and a year later things started changing and I started making better choices and was growing my ability to exercise discipline. Since then things have been better. Sure I may still suck but I’m making better decisions, using less money to make more consistently and love trying to find the value.
