What a crazy ride this has been.
April 21st, 2025 I was 22 years old, had lost so much money gambling on AMC years prior, and had one last shot with $10K. Deposited it into Robinhood and told myself this is my last shot. This time has to be different. This is my time.
I studied ICT and learned how to actually read price action. When we fell from all-time highs around Trump getting inaugurated and the tariff news, I didn’t have the guts to short the market, but I did buy TQQQ.
April 21st, I timed the absolute bottom on TQQQ and within a month turned $10K into $20K+ — right place, right time.
We weren’t near all-time highs yet, but I decided to rotate some money out (around $8K) and put it into LEAPS on INTC at $19. I bought 12 contracts.
Recently sold 3 because I was honestly getting nauseous seeing the numbers every day, but I held 8 — and now we just hit all-time highs.
From a broke 22-year-old, down $10K out of college… to +$55k on Robinhood in one year.
What a ride fellas. What a ride.

Bro you speedran the full WSB character arc in like 12 months 😂
From AMC degen to ICT giga brain timing TQQQ bottom and INTC LEAPS is wild, congrats on actually making it out of the hole. Now the real boss fight is not sending it all back on some zero day SPY YOLO.
you’re a gambler. a tiny-cocked one
Please put like $40k of that into an ETF. Use it to buy a house someday. You can keep gambling with the rest, but just shift a chunk somewhere safe.
