After losing 22K on options this year (Started year with 28K in savings) I decided it wasn't for me as I'm too compulsive and stupid. After months of feeling horrible about losing that kind of money and naseous, I finally decided to chalk it up to a learning experience and never do it again.
That being said, I put half of my remaining savings into stocks on monday and I couldn't be more excited. Bought a couple AMZN stocks, some NVDA, AMD, FB, MSFT and a few other smallers ones (MTCH, V, ADP, XAR) and I am already up $300. I sleep so much better knowing that my money isn't just evaporating, that even if it goes down there will be a light at the end of the tunnel. I should've done this from the start.
I managed to pick up AMZN at 1502! I just think to myself "Wow, if this goes back to ATH in next 6 months, I will have made $500+ by doing nothing". All that money lost to options.. if only I had bought stocks from the beggining!
