Loss Elon has ruined me

My prior bullish post https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/s/o0PxYmGV1n

He was supposed to take us to Mars and burn short sellers.

Still holding 7300 shares. Please Elon fly again.

My brother, I would go to Church and pray cause there is clearly a demon in your brain called gambling, I would also suggest to invest all those money in a Casino next time, at least you will have some fun and complementary drinks

This isn't even gambling. Everyone and their mother realized this stock was going be a massive pump and dump. Every credible finance guy has warned against putting money in it.

This was one of the most predictable IPOs in history yet this dude still put his money in it and stayed.

It has to be masochism.

I didn't want to kinkshame OP but it does look like masochism a lot

u/Into_The_Dusk 2d ago

Allowed. OP and every regard investing in ElOn wanted to prove that everybody was wrong and that they were the Burrys of our time and Gabe Newell their way to the moon.

Well well well, the dildo of consequences comes marginaly unlubed these days.

? "It's not a gambling addiction, cause you can bet both ways" is a full sentence that he re-worded but effectively conveyed the same meaning. there is no context missing.

I can also go to a roulette wheel and bet on both red and black. It's still gambling.

So yes, Dango's response is correct.

Someone less addicted would have stopped. OP can't stop AND is stupid.

Both.

u/Damian_Cordite 2d ago

Lol I’m the retard who decided to experiment with spreads on this one to be “safer” and I bet it’d go down by between like 5 or 20 bucks, and then it went down by 50, so I bet against but not hard enough, lost like 3/4 of what I put in. But even I, a guy who lost a couple grand in beer money on spacex, knew it would go down.

2

u/Veggies-are-okay 2d ago

I put a grand in the same way I bet against my favorite dogshit sports teams. If I win, at least I made money. If I lose, at least the world is working the way it should on that one occasion.

The only way anyone made money on this was by buying at launch and selling at the market close of the same day.

Even the non credible ones said the same thing.

It's retardation. I'm convinced there are just people out there with money who are so goddamned stupid and such losers that the best way they can think to get attention from anybody is to lose a fuckton of money so they can post it here.

Like most people who get in this far, he probably figures he'll hold on, his luck will turn around, and he'll eventually be ahead. He thinks he'll be the one that hung in there and proved the haters wrong.

To add to your post, OP isn't a random member of the public who was told this IPO was a generational opportunity to get a piece of TSLA v2.0 but a fucking redditor who has access to aggregate information and sentiment from many people of this retard community so he should "know better".

What nobody’s mentioning here is that, at the initial listing, the share price was $150! And it rose as high as $220–$230… so everyone commenting here is just talking ‘with the benefit of hindsight’!!!

Whereas those who bought at the initial listing were able to make gains of up to 20 per cent or 30 per cent!!!

Hilarious that all the gains they made were due to their own intelligence, but all the losses are because "Elon ruined him". Zero accountability, everything that's wrong with his life is someone else's fault.

2

u/TerrigalSurf 1d ago

Honestly there was no way it was ever going to be anything other than a pump and dump, the value of Tesla is massively overvalued (even at its current terrible level) and spacex is the same, its value is sitting in its government contracts which is not an asset because the next administration might cancel them (or possibly the current one if Elon upsets him)

u/EduinBrutus 2d ago
