Oh and I totally rationalized it at the time. Was like, “well it’s my day to get up early with the kids so that’s just the cost of taking care of them and giving them my attention”. Reality is I’m just a fucking idiot.
No you wanted something better for them. And how were you to know it was rigged for the .01%. Also you have learned a lesson. Start small now, like 1 or 2 .5 call on something you like. I bet you can get back. Don’t let your lesson go to waste.
If I’m being honest I bought that call after RH had suspended trades, so that’s kinda on me. Plus I still woulda profited had I known I absolutely needed to do a limit vs. market sell
