I think that Jay and I can probably more or less agree that you have overconfidence in your predictive abilities. (To put the matter “diplomatically”.)
And I think that all of us can more or less agree that you are the mindrust for this season.
I beg to differ, losing the stash due to margin gambling is a whole new level of mindrusting compared to selling the bottom and exiting the market without loss (IIRC mindrust even made a small gain or at least no loss). Maybe the term
mindrust2ing would be appropriate for leveraged gambling?
Though in my opinion, they both deserve great credit for speaking so candidly about it and letting people learn from their mistakes, many of us probably fucked up badly at one point or another and (at least w/r to me it's the case) stayed silent so to not look dumb. We don't know how many diamond hands mindrusts story created, but I bet there are quite a few pairs of them. At least mine got definitely harder from it. And that's good me thinks.
