Sigh.
I really cannot get rid of this lack of self control.
Again.
Year upon year it always ends the same.
Played with KO Options on NASDAQ and really got KO-ed.
Damn you IG Markets! Why are you even offering it to gamblers!
Ended up losing 8K.
This is super painful.
:(
Another year where I'd added a financial resolution out of my annual five.
This year is down from the two I had last year.
3) Earn >$30K In My Saxo Account
Mentally I already have had this target since the turn of the year. It can be seen as 'revenge' for my huge losses of last year. But really more importantly what has changed, I think, is a strengthened resolve later last year to change the way I trade. This I have adapted or am still adapting, but to rather positive results. This bodes well for this resolution, so let's see if it all pans out.
One prospective other goal I have for 2021 is to achieve more than 300K in total liquid assets by the end of the year.
Let's see if I can achieve it!
So far it is 8 days into 2021 and things do not bode well. I have been wasting money on the US Indices again as well as one stint of shorting TSLA (will I ever stop disbelieving in them?!), and am already down 4.9K for the year.
Hopefully things improve from this day forward!
Since I'm not pursuing that trading strategy anymore, I will cease to report on my dividends moving forward.
The March 2020 crash basically took me out of most of my dividend stocks.
I guess I must be doing it wrong.
Sigh.
Again keeping up with traditions, here's how I've performed this year.
As with how terrible 2020 has been for everyone, it has also been a horrendous year for my personal trading account.
I lost the most money I ever did with this trading account.
Almost 30K.
Too much trading of indices and TSLA.
Damn you Tesla! When are you going to come crashing down?!
Look at this!
Anyway everything else also didn't really go to plan, so it's been a really bummer year for me on the investing front.
Sad.
Here's my total performance for the year.
A sea of red.
One single pathetic dividend payout.
Nothing much to crow about as usual.
17 December $5.00
18 December $13.50
21 December $40.00
30 December $34.00
30 December $18.00
