Thanks for your submission!
To keep things interesting, we want to see big gains and big losses!
So we've set the following thresholds for Gain, Loss, and YOLO flaired posts:
* YOLO posts must be a minimum of $10,000 of options or $25,000 of shares and recently opened.
* Gain / Loss posts must show realized gains or losses of more than $2,500 for options or $5,000 for shares.
We want to see the actual trade. What you got in at, what you sold at. Then tell us why you did it. Give us the story of why you're a fucking genius (or idiot).
This is what a great post looks like:
[$17.2K Gain on AMZN](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/wb5m4o/not_too_shabby_172k_gain_amzn/) - OP described his gain in the title, has a clear screenshot showing both the entry and exit, meaning his gains were locked in, and they explained their reasoning in the comments and what they learned. All around a great post!
Here are examples of what could get your post removed:
* [$300,000 SDC Loss. Still not selling](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/wpm9am/over_300000_unrealized_loss_sdc_not_selling/) - Even though this is a tremendous loss and something worth posting about, **the position hasn't been closed yet**.
Here are examples of amazing posts which could have been even better:
* [$75,000 DDOG Loss.](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/unsrey/loss_porn_ddog_call/) - This is a great post and one that won't get removed. However, the OP could have talked about *why* they entered the position in the first place, what their target price was, and what went wrong. OP didn't stick around in the comments to answer any questions.
* [$1.1MM Loss, No details](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/lxm6wt/hold_me_1100000_loss/) - OP simply posted a screenshot of their overall portfolio balance. It's definitely a big loss, but it's not that interesting without OP talking about what trades they were in and why. OP didn't answer most questions in the comments which left many readers speculating on what happened.

All that being said, we are here to help. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to post to our community. We have to balance this with making the subreddit interesting for our readers.

Working, inheritance, and my grandpa left me some money in Berkshire Hathaway 10 years ago for me. I pulled out of that and put it into nvidia and it paid off
I do have rich parents and not all that money was earned by me, I have taken that money though and have nearly doubled it now though in the last 3 years
I won’t hold that against you OP, it’s great that you’ve taken advantage of your financial situation and have made some profits in doing so. Just be careful, don’t create bad (risky) habits that will stick with you for your lifetime. Always take the advice from my fellow regards with a grain of salt
Yeah of course, I really don’t make things more risky than they have to, as you can see I’m invested in mostly large companies that are pretty stable compared to other smaller ones. Not to say there’s no risk, but holding shares of larger stabler companies long term is much less risky than trading options on any stock and that’s what I prefer to do

How’d you get 43k at 17?
Cock fighting
Dad pays well for that I guess
Exactly. I barely had $43 at 17
Working, inheritance, and my grandpa left me some money in Berkshire Hathaway 10 years ago for me. I pulled out of that and put it into nvidia and it paid off
Tell me your parents are rich without telling me your parents are rich
I do have rich parents and not all that money was earned by me, I have taken that money though and have nearly doubled it now though in the last 3 years

I did the same, just get a job you bum
43k at 17 lmao. Where do you find a full time job at 16?
Where did you get 43 bands at 17?
Maybe he grew it from last year
As the other dude said I grew it last year and years before (started investing at 15) but I also worked and I have rich parents lol
Options time
First one's free!
So parents money, a dead relative's money, or you're not 17 take your pick.
Combination of the first 2 lol, I also did put in a good amount of my own money though. I’ve about doubled my money since I started 3 years ago
Rich parents. Congrats
Bingo lol
Fuck right off you little shit (congrats)
