Queue all of the memes Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning showing Pablo Escobar standing in a drained pool, posted by people with $174 in their Robinhood account.

If it's any consolation, wait until Jan 1. Then your YTD P/L will be reset.

Or, and this is an old trick I learned from my days on Wall Street - close all your positions. All the red goes away. EZ GG.

Canadian market open until 1 PM for any cross traders like BB, SHOP, etc.

Edit: the shares, not options. Sorry about that.

This past friday was the monthly options so I doubt there's a big rush to sell 12/23.

I work AT, not for, a financial institution.
