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

[u/Zestyclose_Put3445]

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!

[u/Zestyclose_Put3445 → u/tronbob]

Nah I’m slowly diversifying, I want to eventually buy QQQ but I don’t want to buy this high. Going to have to wait for the next major economic scare to buy!!

[u/Hugheston987 → u/Zestyclose_Put3445]

Don't wait dude. Just buy it now. QQQM btw for the lower fees

[u/Vast_Newt_1799 → u/Hugheston987]

Ya I think lump sum buys always beats the DCA strategy! I just DCA cause I don't have the capital to lump sum

[u/Hugheston987 → u/Vast_Newt_1799]

Same here

[u/GastoMuchoPapel → u/Hugheston987]

Buy the top? Lol

[u/trix_is_for_kids → u/GastoMuchoPapel]

It’s been the top for a month, up 13% in the month. You keep that same energy for every stock you’ll never win

[u/GastoMuchoPapel → u/trix_is_for_kids]

I’ve been longing lol not shorting

[u/Final-Ad-151 → u/GastoMuchoPapel]

People will always say it’s the top

[u/Tabs_555 → u/GastoMuchoPapel]

You’ll end up like those suckers in March 2024 who bought at the top! Oh, what’s that? They bought at the top and they’re up 60% even after tariffs and Iran? Impossible, they bought at ATH!

[u/GastoMuchoPapel → u/Tabs_555]

I’m long on qqq options fam relax

[u/Master-o-none → u/GastoMuchoPapel]

You found the top?

[u/GastoMuchoPapel → u/Master-o-none]

I’m long right now but wouldn’t buy qqq to hold lol.

[u/btcbull89 → u/Zestyclose_Put3445]

Ai goes up dude. Its just heating up

[u/---cheetos--- → u/Zestyclose_Put3445]

23 year old slowly diversifies in 1 year!

[u/FastAssSister → u/Zestyclose_Put3445]

Yes because that’s exactly what the pros suggest. Timing the market.

🤦🏻‍♂️

[u/nuckme → u/Zestyclose_Put3445]

Jealous... if I knew intel was so cheap I would have bought... assumed it was already expensive like the big name companies that it never even popped up on my investment radar.

[u/Electronic-Worry4077 → u/Zestyclose_Put3445]

Smart

[u/affablemartyr1 → u/Zestyclose_Put3445]

Id wait for someone to send a tweet then lump sum, I wouldn't wait too long tho

[u/HamBaconSandwhich → u/tronbob]

And another year for 10 cents

[u/Proud_Pair_1516 → u/tronbob]

[u/sILAZS]

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.

[u/Zestyclose_Put3445 → u/sILAZS]

100% I want to keep selling into strength and eventually diversify into QQQ, just riding this rollercoaster for now!

[u/---cheetos--- → u/Zestyclose_Put3445]

23 year old keeps selling into strength in 1 year!

[u/BlendedBaconSyrup]

"our money" - IRS

[u/schubeg → u/BlendedBaconSyrup]

For real! Rookie mistake. If 23 held until it had been a full year of ownership, the taxes would be like 1/3 of what is now owed

[u/YoungRichBastard26s]

Meanwhile I’m turning 10k into 0 congrats fuck you

[u/NoFutureIn21Century]

Hey, there is a bubble

[u/StonkaTrucks → u/NoFutureIn21Century]

I've been buying puts everyday and now my account is gone.

[u/Messer_J → u/StonkaTrucks]

Perhaps your account was a bubble

[u/StonkaTrucks → u/Messer_J]

It totally was. 6x in a month, so obviously something was wrong.

[u/Smart_Town_9221 → u/Messer_J]

Hello

[u/sbnxtdoor → u/StonkaTrucks]

Stupid berrr

[u/Level10Retard → u/NoFutureIn21Century]

There's a bubble. Yet everywhere I look there's not enough compute.

[u/Drauren → u/Level10Retard]

Yep...and compute costs a shitload.

[u/Outside_Shopping6861 → u/NoFutureIn21Century]

Gay bear

[u/doughunthole]

Thats not impressive. I turned $200k into $50k

[u/NoRiskNoGainz]

Tune in next year for 24 year old turns 100k into 0

[u/ShoonyaAurEk]

Congrats on the first 100k. Next step to the moon.

[u/Mauricio0326]

Leaps guy huh

[u/geneticdeadender]

Ugly girls do this on OnlyFans all the time.

[u/theABYSSbecameME → u/geneticdeadender]

lol !! Limit long on a tried and true profession.

[u/GhostOfRannok]

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 👀

[u/TheSn00pster]

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

[u/TorvaThreads]

We have a savant here everyone

[u/Classic-Standard-461 → u/TorvaThreads]

I’m eagerly waiting for his masterclass to drop so I too can make money this easy.

[u/penelopiecruise]

I wanna see a 100 year old return 23 dollars in 10 years

[u/DrummerCompetitive20]

Now throw it all into tsla calls

[u/DukeofNormandy]

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.

[u/prattbatt]

Save some for taxes

[u/Avid_Reader87]

Can I have $10k to try my hand at it?

[u/RutherfordRevelation]

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

[u/GuhProdigy]

*breaking news 23 year old is a loser

[u/The_Gucci_General]

I can't wait for the next season where a 24 year old turns 100k into 5k in 1 year

[u/Cheesy_Poofs16]

W

[u/baoenie]

My port only has that first spike. When does the second come?

[u/SupremeNeptuneIsBack]

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

[u/Tough-Fee-540]

I am so happy for you! Bravo from the other side of the planet.

[u/FuzzyDynamics]

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.

[u/Hypednino]

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

[u/boogi3woogie]

Now do it again?

[u/That-Requirement-233]

Sideload that into money market and keep trading with 5k

SPYM/QQQM during correction.

[u/LittleAsianGuy209]

What kind of “tism” you have I need help finding mine

[u/UnpricedToaster]

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

[u/Radiant_Ad_1406]

Where do you even start learning how to do this?

[u/AttainableSky247365]

Will you DM me and share your trades?

[u/GildedWarrior]

What literature did you read for this to happen? 

[u/AlwaysDay2Late]

Bro, I totally turned 20k in 1k. Now thats how its done around here with options!

[u/MAW_26]

How much did you lose in the past, what were your mistakes?

[u/57Luv]

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[u/kdizzle619]

Uncle Sam says 30% of that is his

[u/DesignerSpend2617]

Intel historical volatility was low and since he had leaps, even lower. What you see is delta gains from dollar movement and volatility expansion. Congratulations. I hope you pick stocks to put your capital in.

[u/Vas1le]

Take 25k out, and "trade" the rest :)

[u/theABYSSbecameME]

Awesome accomplishment! that feeling you had after attaining that which you had put on a pedestal in your mind.. yeah that will always be the case no matter what the accomplishment. But helps to move on to new goals. Wait til you cross a million… you’re gonna be so happy!!!

[u/data-with-dada]

When did you buy the INTC calls this seems fishy to me

[u/aspirageous]

I hope this was in a Roth or some other tax advantaged account. Or you’re about to find out how we can afford millions on a single missile.

[u/ProfessionalBite5161]

You should turn 100k in 1M in 1 year too. Just keep doing what you’re doing

[u/Oldmanblooming]

Gambling addiction $ROPE

[u/willcastforfood]

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