Sorry for your loss bro. It's the casino where the house always win in the end.

Seriously. I couldn't believe it last time, before the meeting, it launched up, and during all the negative news, it kept rising. Even when it finally dropped down, option values refused to go up, and I sold for the loss so I would at least have still $10k incase they expired. Only for it to finally drop way past my strike price after I sold and would have put me at around $65-70k.

Today's action felt like a repeat, and I even waited until the first couple spikes up before buying. It always feels like the markets are just here to shake us all down. It definitely takes a toll on one's sanity

What pisses me off is that he did not say anything new: anything! This rally is really irrational….

Not like I faired much better, but I would 100% suggest listening to the call. Last FOMC jp was incredibly hawkish so I didn't believe in the pump during the press conference. Today, he was quite dovish. I had put everything into puts before the meeting so I lost a lot, but pivoted to calls before SPY broke 400
