    With the expect inflation, you might make it, but still won't be able to buy a bar of chocolate :(

    Skills and account compound. So if I can bang out low 7 figures then nothing stopping me to compound to multiple 7 figures annually.

    Inflation is always a big threat.

    I think 2 other things are more important: balls and stamina/conviction.

    Balls to bet a small account on his DD, and conviction/staying mental power that he has been right and not cashing out too soon.

    I mean the guy was up at 1.2 MM at one point, a 100 bags return but he was convinced that he is right and kept holding (stamina). He did drop 1 MM but he kept holding through the downturn and eventually got a huge pay off.

    I am going to repeat this but with Nikola.

    Nikola is currently out of favour, but will be $1000 this time next year :D:D:D

    I wonder how the famous TSLAQ folks are doin.
    Based on their theories, Musk should be renting a tent by now, somewhere in the skidrow. :D

    Only a threat if you have savings, I'm fine ignoring trading account down to £60 LOL

    Yes withdraw 1K Wednesday, nearly made 1K last few trading days so all is stable.

    Yeah, the cost was $1.25, so it was really OTM (strike 690). He has a video explaining the trade, if you really care. Expiration was 2021 January. He bought it on Aug 1st 2019.
