I don’t know how you come out of this situation, but I know what it’s like to be a gambler. I had nowhere near the credit to obtain 80k but over the last 10 years I have amassed more than 10k debt from trying to “flip” options which is just a losing gambling game. The best flip I had was my last 50 turned to 5k on AAL call options during the pandemic recovery. I then flipped that to 12k over an AAPL call play. I then started venturing into TSLA calls and got emotional and it turned into your exact same trade. (Lost it all). All while I was doing this, I told myself I would really love to leave the “casino” take these profits and learn how to just trade basic stocks. I got too greedy and now I’m back to learning stocks. I see you’re learning too. The fact that you said, “Alright let’s try 100 shares this time instead, shows recovery. I even downgraded my account to remove options privileges. Options will NOT be our downfall in 2026. I pray for your recovery brother.
