This is your portfolio's support group. Four times a week we collect the internet's most spectacular money losses, with the screenshots, so you can make different mistakes.
We keep score so nobody has to pretend it did not happen.
The single worst trade on the internet, with the P&L screenshot attached.
Three more losses that deserve a moment of silence and a short explanation.
73% of this week's losers used the word "guaranteed" in their thesis.
"It's not a loss if you don't sell." It is also not a house anymore.
They hit differently when you are reading from a portfolio that is down 96%.
Every story is a satirical composite. We laugh at the decisions, never at the people.
Why this exists →Tick every one you have talked yourself past. Be honest, nobody is watching.
A 35.67% session at a retailer whose comparable sales went nowhere, $17 billion of bad news that made a stock go up, and a short that survived the press release but not the earnings call.
Read the damage →A record one day collapse at a retailer whose own stores were fine, a 3% hit from a company he did not own, and a stock repriced by one analyst's spreadsheet.
Read the damage →A lawsuit that beat an earnings model, a tariff four months away that got priced today, and $3 billion of shorts on the wrong side of one rally.
Read the damage →Five minutes of reading. A lifetime of bad decisions to study. Your portfolio will thank you, eventually.
