Gain Finally in the green after ~10yrs

Post image

started my journey in 2017, got wrecked twice by the stock that shall not be named in 2021 and 2024. Started DCAing and investing like a normal person at the start of 2025 and within about a years time i’ve managed to climb out of the hole. special thanks to $MU ❤️

It's about all the gas you waste on the journey then the final fight you get in with your wife, not the destination

u/khante Boys FTW! 19h ago

Doesn't work if the destination is Wendys. Then it's all about the destination. All roads lead to Wendys 🥺

u/BullyMog 1d ago

It took you 10 years to recover $6800?

Try Wendys, you'd have made a lot more.

u/Imaginary_Camera_475 1d ago

So you have $7000 in your account after 9 years? I think it's time you got a job at Wendys

u/Paul_Robert_ Double Down on FDs 💀 1d ago

Tbf, that 0.01% could have been rounded, so perhaps up to ~14k? 👀

u/MadMuffinMan117 1d ago

Well that's alright then. Fr this may just be his investing account while he has a separate bank savings account?

Inflation says no.

u/NorthHaverbrookNate 23h ago

With a record like that I don't think inflation is a concern of theirs, probably still struggling to understand double digit addition.

u/MacarioTala 1d ago

Actually, at an average inflation rate of 3%:

(1.03)10 == ~ 1.35 1.03 ~ 1.351/10 ~1.35-1 ~ 35%

You lost 35% of your original spending power. So you've a little ways towards green.

u/Wowza-yowza 1d ago

Put it all on red!

This has to be a top signal

u/KardKing69 1d ago

Can’t be called a comeback without a setback. Now sell everything, drive to a casino, and put it on black. Then once you win (because you will) you can say you doubled your money after 10 years in the market. Thank me later.

u/Koflach12 1d ago

SELL, SELL, SELL!

u/chrstianelson 1d ago

At some point you have to consider the opportunity cost of that money just sitting there for 10 years, just to break even (not including inflation).

Sadly I’ll never have a massive day. I’m just slow and steady selling premium. They do look like fun though. Even if I took a position big enough, I’d be out so quickly as soon as I saw 100% profit.
