Key insights
- A retail investor expresses frustration over selling QQQ shares near the bottom due to geopolitical fears, only to see the market rebound strongly. They feel manipulated by Wall Street's narrative control and rapid market reversals. The investor's experience highlights the risks of short put strategies and the challenges of timing the market based on geopolitical events. This sentiment could reflect broader retail investor unease, potentially leading to reduced market participation.
I thought Iran war is going out of control, and then suddenly everything becomes good? It looks like the narrative is controlled by wall street and they can u-turn anytime they want regardless of the real situation?
How to cope lol? This market-manipulating surge is beyond disgusting. Many wall street traders should be jailed for rug-pulling retail investors with bad news and then have an ATH within 2 weeks.
Edit: Saw many comments. Thanks for them. To be exact, I got assigned 900 shares of QQQ on my short puts, freaked out as I was $200k lack in money, closed them for good and planned to average in during a red day. That red day never came. QQQ was 11-day consecutive positive. This is really bullsh*t.
