This is my worst day on earth financially. $700K got instant deleted. Posting the loss here, and let it be a humbling reminder of the risk of leverages, even small ones. Very devastating both mentally and financially. But not the end of the world. I am still in the game, and will continue to trade and post my research here. Hang on there fellas, we will recover.


We met a couple tonight at the hotel. Nice people. I see he's wearing a Richard Mille and I strike up a conversation with him about it. We're talking about watches and I'm not telling him I hate RMs. He asks me if I wanted to try it on and I take my watch off and put it on. OK, so... It turns out I love them. Wife sees how much I like it and says "aww, it's cute and looks good on you. You should buy one." My heart is exploding. It's out of my price range, but I'm blinded by how much I love it. The guy is agreeing with her, I should totally buy one. I'm ignoring the fact that at most, my wife thought it was maybe 20k. We're in our room and I'm looking up RMs on the secondary market. I show her one and she says "I love that one, get it." I'm sweating. She's enabling my mania. I'm in some alternate universe because no way is she telling me to buy it. I'm showing her all the ones I like, picture after picture. Like a kid explaining his Christmas list to his parents. The details, everything. I show her this RM 011. I say I really want this one. She says "just buy it." Then she finally becomes inquisitive. She asks, "How much is?" I mumble and say "around 250" I know my chances are blown. She asks, "Why are you even talking about it? That's so cheap." I tell her it's about 250k. She looked at me like she just found out I had a 57 IQ. The look she gave me was indescribable. She looked at me like she found out I was a serial killer. She just responded with "Are you fucking insane? Are you an actual crazy person?" Anyway, I'm not getting the watch. It was fun to own, even in my head for an hour.
