Lost 300k so far, Assets down to 250 from 550k

Recently I feel so depressed in my life and unable to do anything. As I have lost most of my liquid assets. I feel like I am a loser. Most of it is stock depreciation and 90k I lost from my coinbase wallet (phishing attack). How you guys deal with losses? I am glad I still have my house. Tc - 270k

What did you lose in? Options?

Qualtrics goca02 OP Aug 12, 2023

Some in options and some in depreciation (Bad choices).

Honest advice: don’t buy options, crypto, shady stocks, overpriced growth stocks Instead of feeling bad about yourself do things that will prevent this in future

What did you bet on? If it’s some stock(eg pltr, sofi etc) , may be holding it can get your price back

It takes a lot of skill to lose that much money. You literally just put it in sp500 and you will make money. Can you tell me ur investing strategy so I can do the opposite?

Greed. Trying to make money faster by investing in Carvana, Dropbox and such growth stocks at the peak.

Sucks. Have it be a lesson. The amount of people who like to gamble instead of invest blows my mind.

It’s been a rite of passage for all my young (usually male) friends. It’s fine. I have lost plenty. People usually don’t gamble with more than 50% of their net worth though.

investing heavily in index funds starts showing results after 3-4 years. Everyone going through these various get rich quick schemes is getting burned.

Relax. It’s hard to deal with this but you have to learn the lesson and move forward. You have good TC you will be okay. Just invest it all in index funds moving forward. Buy VOO and just leave it. For god sakes don’t try to “win it back” by doing even more risky stock gambling.

+1 you have enough capital to recover but balance out the risk and play the safer bets. If things do go down more, majority of the lower caps are at risk. If you do play stocks, play the medium, mega. Or just put into index.

Are you actively trading or investing? If it's the latter, it's alright since over the long term horizon you should be fine.
