And where is your loss post or do you only win?

My last self inflicted loser was ARKK.
ORLY, company stock, is currently beaten down but those are free shares so it doesn't hurt.
Other than a few, very few, small losses in SPX options, that's about it.

Here's a hard luck investing story. I have a newish friend, not so young, but part of the 2020 new investor crowd. He has an adult port but in 2021 he started a Robinhood account to YOLO in with about $25K. He has all the usual hyped stocks. HOOD, PLTR, SOFI, HOOD, TDOC, ARKK and about five more I don't remember. Every single ticker is devastated. I told him a few months ago to trim anything that even tried to bounce. He didn't want to take losses too soon so I let it go. So yesterday TDOC gets cut in half again on a hopeless earnings projection and he asks me if he should sell. I told him I would before he loses the last 25%. So he sells, and a couple hours later Cathie Wood doubles down and loads ARKK back up with TDOC, which as I mentioned he also owns. She has already lost about $400M on the ticker. I tried not to laugh.
