    23 year old turns 10k into 100k in 1 year

    I literally just made a post not too long ago about crossing $75k… and now I’m making one about hitting six figures. Honestly unreal.

    What’s weird though is I thought I’d feel completely different once I finally saw these kinds of numbers in my account, but I really don’t. I’m 23, I lost a lot of money in the market at a young age, and now that I’m finally seeing some real progress, it still just feels… normal. Hard to explain.

    In my last post a lot of people told me to trim some of my INTC position, and I actually did. I’ve been slowly scaling out as the move expanded and sold some more when we recently touched $100/share.

    I then rotated part of those profits into NBIS. Fundamentally I like the company, and technically I really liked the chart setup, so I grabbed both short-dated calls and a LEAP at market open on the 4th. Luckily I managed to catch the bottom almost perfectly and those calls have been printing all week.
    Plan now is probably to sell the short-dated calls before earnings and hold the LEAP basically for free.
    All in all, this whole journey has been pretty insane. I used to scroll this subreddit imagining what it would feel like to one day see numbers like this in my own account. Now that I’m finally getting a glimpse of it… it’s honestly pretty surreal.

      1 more year for a million and another year for 10 million, you’re almost done!

      Don’t count on being this “lucky” again without having tasted loss.
      Set some cash on the side for a dip, diversy your portfolio and let the rollercoaster ride.

      23 yo makes lots of new internet friends instantly and finally gets popular for once in his… wait… where are all my upvotes?

      It feels normal because it’s not realized in real terms. Yes it’s realized gains, but you haven’t done anything with it. It’s numbers on a screen until the number is big enough to change your whole life. At least that’s how I feel. Gratz tho. Feel free to share future plays 👀

      How are you basing your picks? Watching the candle sticks and implementing strategies?

      I wish I could trade Options, but I cant, so I don’t. All my losses last year are from me trying to trade Options and got smoked. I stick to stocks now.

      Congrats. Pack that shit away somewhere stable, leave enough to pay the tax man, and don’t touch it. Start again with a small seed fund if you can’t help yourself, but never draw from this money.

      Or be an idiot and yolo it away.

      Impressive and congratulations. Could you help me out on adding a new position? You seem bullish ETH owning 4 ETH. What do you think are attractive buys. I’ll do my own research but just curious. I’m 22 have $100k in a longterm portfolio and I’ve been wanting to try options or leaps

      Smart play in the intc. Kicking myself for listening to the reddit mob that it was done

      What should someone with only 200 dollars buy, calls or otherwise

      If a 23 year old has 10k to throw into the options gamble machine something tells me they would’ve been fine regardless

      Make sure you keep 30% aside for the IRS. And talk to an accountant.
