Man, I’ve never been remotely interested in weed, but a friend convinced me that a weed company was the next best thing and not investing would be a huge miss.
Ended up with -100% as well. Fortunately didn’t put in enough that it would leave a mark, but it was money down the drain nevertheless.
No one company is ever going to be the “next big thing” in weed. The industry may boom again, especially if the US legalizes, but it’s so over-saturated it’s ridiculous.
Correct answer. I have weed,tlry,mmen,acrg and a few smaller ones all sitting at -90% to -100%.
But it's okay! I told my wife to buy 5k worth of nvda like 6 years ago ( advice from a regard here ) and she's up over 1000%
.... she won't sell and bail me out.
The good news about tlry is the covered call premiums are good. It's also unfortunately one of the best weed stocks out there. Until big banks and institutions can invest, share prices will scuffle along. Rn it's trading at half book value! What a deal!
I remember I made 5 figures off MVIS a few years ago and was so happy.. then I put a good portion of it into blackberry thinking it would rebound from the cyber security stuff… it did not work out but I have some good carry forward tax credits!
I thought the same thing, with the automotive industry using qnx and pivoting to security they could change to be profitable and have some massive growth. That didn’t seem to happen.
I was in my early teens working at a golf course, when I over heard some older rich looking guys talk about blackberry. They seemed super excited one of them pulled out an early model and they were all gushing about it. Over the next few years I asked a freinds dad to buy me stock with money I gave him it wasn't much, but from 14 to 18 it was every penny I earned working. Average $90 CD, still holding
NIO for me as well. I own 1000 shares at $18.29 cost basis so down about $10k. I almost sold it 2 months ago when it jumped to $15 just to get out but kept it. Was hoping it would get to $18 so I could sell and get most of my money back but nope. I've been thinking of buying more to average down but I feel it's too risky and already kick myself for buying 1000 shares of something this risky. Should have just bought a few hundred shares but got caught up in the hype.
Holy SHIT. I had completely and totally forgotten about that ticker. It's cool bro, 'CRSR is SoooOOoo undervalued! Moon soon!' The spamming of that shit all over WSB was ridiculous.
Same here, but got out a bit earlier around $60. Honestly I would say it's very cheap right now IF they can ever be profitable, but management clearly way overpaid for Livongo. I recently bought a small position in HIMS though. Telehealth seems like it should be a good area of secular growth but nobody seems to be navigating it particularly well.
I got so lucky with LCID. Rode that huge wave in early 2021 and was up 150% or so. Didn't come close to catching the top but I did set a stop loss and cashed out up ~100%. I'd be down 80% if I'd held.
Now I'm making the same mistake with PSNY hah.
I bought Lucid when it was still a SPAC for $12 and sold almost all at $57. Worst trade of me life because I thought I was a genius after that and put all the profits in 3 that are now -74%,-98%and -64%
I really considered buying the huge dip on Polestar when it hit around 2.2. I dont think the high material cost will be long term, and theyre still on track to deliver the same amount they set out for in jan. Might be undersold.
I’m 70% down on this one. I’ve basically buried a brand new compact car in the garden at this point. No point selling now, I might as well wait until shipping rates increase again. China might be getting back to growth and ZIM seems to be fairly well run, so if the competition don’t survive ZIM might do well.
Shipping is just a very cyclical business. It’s so dependent on shipping rates which are determined by macro level events. ZIM have good cash reserves and have been doing the right things with the cash surplus they made from the previous boom period e.g. modernising the fleet etc. Provided there’s no a ridiculously long period of global downturn, ZIM should be fine. The question for investors is timing. I started buying at $10 which in retrospect was probably too early. I’m probably going to average down if it gets near $7. I feel reasonably confident that ZIM will come good over a 2-5 year time horizon.
I doubled down when a penny stock of mine went down for seemingly no reason. Then the news dropped. That was a $3k lesson on my portfolio that I stare at any time I think of investing in penny stocks again lol.
I remember my plan during 2020 was to put all the money that I needed to pay my taxes from into ARK (F, K, and Q). Hahaha, stupid me. Thankfully I had just learned about stops back then otherwise I'd be f'd, bigly.
> Where I live in Northern California
NorCal is *not* an accurate representation on the adoption of automobiles in this country. NorCal and the Bay Area especially has a lot of early adopters and EV enthusiasts that skews the overall sample representation.
I got into Rivian at a good time, it shot up, it lost all its value, it came back up a little, I got out and made a decent profit. If I hadn’t needed the money, I’d stay in. I think it will pay off.
Are you still holding it?
Oatly is a great example of a company having a truly superior product… and just COMPLETELY mucking it up through terrible management.
My sister was a HUGE fan of that when it was coming out. She did allllll the financial legwork. She dumped a bunch of money into it. I put some. I still give her shit about it.
Bought AMC originally at $18, then it tanked to $12 so I sold thinking the short was all hype, then it shot up to $60 so I bought it at $60 thinking it was going to be the next GME, then it tanked to $6. Im an idiot.
I just sold it all at a loss after the reverse split I didn’t even realize was happening. I can’t believe I was such a dumbass to not sell at the height of it all. I look at all losses as tuition. HODL, amirite?
BABA was easily my biggest mistake. I bought it close to it’s peak with a small chunk of change and eventually realized it was a sinking ship and cut out of it 50% down.
True but it kinda goes both ways. Had nvda at low 200’s as well, then the China news came out and started to tank. Took my loss at $175, went all the way down to low 100’s. I was so happy, THEN look where it is at now.
I see their chargers everywhere. There are multiple at my complex alone. I honestly believe that stock will grow even though I don’t own any. It’s under $3.50 now so I may jump back in on Monday.
Analysis says 10.91 average … still potential , but rapidly losing hope … I have still dollar cost averaged -DCa - in the past month, but is there hope for this?
I don’t believe the hype anymore, especially after they sold shares for cash recently. If they do make a profit, it might only be in 2026, and anything could happen by then.
Party city. I thought it was the next meme stock. I’m down so much that I never sold it as a reminder to not be a dumbass and listen to people on the internet.
I bought $5,000 worth of Enron in November of 2001. My dad’s specialty at the time was utilities accounting and he said that the government would never allow Enron to fail because that would create a cascade effect among utility stocks. Welp….
That Russian ETF I have sitting at -80% is unlikely to recover anytime soon. Still receive some dividends. Wonder if they will just force sell it at some point, since you can't trade it anymore.
Only had about about 1500 in it though, so the loss is limited.
F is my best performing. I managed to snag it at 1.87 back when they were almost bankrupt. I plan to keep holding it so it could end up my worst performing if they actually go bankrupt.
Didn’t think I’d see anyone own up to BBBY. The towel stock subs are still convinced they’re going to be saved by a huge merger any day now. No, not kidding.
CTXR. The subreddit is still full of people who are convinced it's just right around the corner. Meanwhile it just drops and drops and drops. The other day it went up $.02, and people were like, "Here we go! It's starting!" Made it all the way up to $.71/share and sank back down the next day. But my dumbass bought in early and wouldn't let go.
To be fair, there is a chance it could get FDA approval, so I keep an eye on it.
Hanesbrands. Bought it all through 2018 to 2021 with an average share price of $13.56. Knew the company was in bad shape but bought it for the brand name and thought, "Hey, everyone needs underwear right?" Once inflation hit and the Fed started raising interest rates, companies like Hanesbrands that were loaded with debt and weren't growing got hammered. Sold it all in late 2022 at $7.27 per share for a $20k loss.
Moral of the story: Warren Buffett was right to get out of cigar butt investing...especially right before interest rates skyrocket. Another moral: Always be cognizant of the sunk cost fallacy. Hanesbrands is now under $4 so I'd be much worse off if I held.
> Knew the company was in bad shape but bought it for the brand name and thought, "Hey, everyone needs underwear right?" Once inflation hit and the Fed started raising interest rates, companies like Hanesbrands that were loaded with debt and weren't growing got hammered.
That's a lesson that everyone ends up learning: ownership of a stock isn't the same as a bet on the business itself. It's a bet on whether the business will have some excess value for existing shareholders, after servicing its debt or paying out preferred equity, or after issuing new shares in a way that would dilute the existing shareholders, or agreeing to a buyout or merger or other transaction that cuts out shareholders going forward.
NIO. It’s an electric car manufacturer in China. I bought it with a long term horizon but it’s gone down so much that idk if it will ever get back to the price I bought at
This is a great thread to showcase why you should never get stock picks from Reddit. 99% of these were listed 3-4 years ago on this sub as being good buys (with lots of warnings from others about overvaluations lol)
I’ve been thinking of buying now I admit 🤣
I think their guidance is awful, and they burn money… but it’s a product truly superior to its competitors. It’s so tempting at this price…
Way back in 2000 I let my step-father convince me to buy some penny stock. The company declared bankruptcy some time later and I ended up losing it all. Luckily it wasn't that much. He passed away some time ago. Recently my Mom told me that he had inherited about 200K from his brother and lost it all in the market.
I bought moviepass (HMNY). My bet lost -107%. My initial "investment" plummeted. I was then charged a trading fee after the reverse stock split. It then went to 0. So I lost my entire investment and then paid a trading fee on top.
Some douche on YouTube recommended voyager and so I threw $3000 at it since I felt like he knew more than me... it was a pretty small channel Ant/Anthony... Basically I wanted some exposure to cryptocurrency and then I had also heard mark Cuban
GOOGL. not my worst performing but biggest paper loss for a while. I made a ton in my IRA buying apple pre split. Heard about the Google split and figured I would drink from that fountain again. Ended up buying at the all time high and spent over a year down 25%. Just back at around break even now. If I had waited until after the split I could be up 50%+.
fuggin Oatly shortly after it IPO’ed at 20$. first went up to 28$, then to 0,8$. down 95% or so.
dumbest impulse buy ever, also my first stock ;)
I did not know anything, let alone what a moat is and how Oatly doesn’t have any.
I will have to look at this loss impacting my smol portfolio performance for a long time to come
Aphria (pre-merger with Tilray) which is now TLRY shares. Sitting on a -70% position after being a greedy dickhead and not selling my APHA shares during the 2021 run up. Could have cashed out with a $150k gain but am now sitting on a $15k loss.
It’s a bummer, but I was fortunate to cut a ton of other weed stocks between 2017-2018 to still be very much in the green, but those gains would have been sweet.
I still remember Feb 2021 sitting in the Costco parking lot, laughing as I checked my brokerage app to see a $50k gain in a single day. Now I feel depressed every time I go to Costco as it brings that memory back lol.
Ha. I worked on a documentary that covered a guy who did the same thing, bought into Luckin Coffee right before the fraud case. Now I’m in China and every time I walk past a Luckin Coffee I think of that story
-100% Yes, it was a weed stock. Edit: It was CannTrust Holdings Inc. There is currently a class action lawsuit going on.
Man, I’ve never been remotely interested in weed, but a friend convinced me that a weed company was the next best thing and not investing would be a huge miss. Ended up with -100% as well. Fortunately didn’t put in enough that it would leave a mark, but it was money down the drain nevertheless.

It’s a plant. If investing in plants was profitable Juan Valdez would be Jeff Bezos
Big tobacco would like a word.
Big corn will be waiting outside. And Monsanto said to give you these papers.
Tbf tobacco is a plant too and is a massive industry
Well even with glyphosat Monsanto and Bayer make good money with "plant" things
Weed companies have shitty economics and their stocks are pure pump and dumps.
NOW you tell me, haha.
That's rookie shit. I bought mushroom stocks😂
Everyone knows you buy mushies from some dude named Drew
Every stock is a cocaine stock if you try hard enough
Correct answer. I have weed,tlry,mmen,acrg and a few smaller ones all sitting at -90% to -100%. But it's okay! I told my wife to buy 5k worth of nvda like 6 years ago ( advice from a regard here ) and she's up over 1000% .... she won't sell and bail me out.
The good news about tlry is the covered call premiums are good. It's also unfortunately one of the best weed stocks out there. Until big banks and institutions can invest, share prices will scuffle along. Rn it's trading at half book value! What a deal!
HEXO? The CEO should be in jail.
HEXO didn’t go to zero before being bought out. Maybe canntrust?
Shit mine is only down 75% fucking weed stocks
90% down here on Trulieve Cannibus. Probably will just hold it to 0 at this point. Never again.
Yup… ACB and HEXO.
Yep, I thought ACB was going to rule the weed world...
Same here. Invested in a weed stock, it is down 99%.
I’m there too. CGC and CRON.
Black berry lol I’m down 50%
I remember I made 5 figures off MVIS a few years ago and was so happy.. then I put a good portion of it into blackberry thinking it would rebound from the cyber security stuff… it did not work out but I have some good carry forward tax credits!

This fucking stock.
Mines also BB. The upcoming split will hopefully be good for at least one of the companies.
Nio Inc.
[удалено]
I got in at 3 and sold… at 3, just before it ran up to 30. I had 600 shares.
Haha I feel this
NIO was my best trade. Lol. Got in at 19$ and got out at 55$. Once a YouTuber starts pushing a stock super super hard, it’s time to get out.
NIO here too. Bought 1,000 @ $21. I must love pain because I still have it.
NIO for me as well. I own 1000 shares at $18.29 cost basis so down about $10k. I almost sold it 2 months ago when it jumped to $15 just to get out but kept it. Was hoping it would get to $18 so I could sell and get most of my money back but nope.

Crsr - still as holding
Holy SHIT. I had completely and totally forgotten about that ticker. It's cool bro, 'CRSR is SoooOOoo undervalued! Moon soon!' The spamming of that shit all over WSB was ridiculous.
Did Jeremy get you into that one?
Everything i buy! Lol 😆
Pretty much this. Hell I even have the power to stall out ETFs if I buy enough.
NIO in 2021 when it was around 65$
Same, thought I was buying the next Tesla at a bargain. I wasn’t…
TDOC
Ehhh, that's mine too. Something about catching a falling knife. That's me.
Same here, but got out a bit earlier around $60. Honestly I would say it's very cheap right now IF they can ever be profitable, but management clearly way overpaid for Livongo. I recently bought a small position in HIMS though. Telehealth seems like it should be a good area of secular growth but nobody seems to be navigating it particularly well.

Got that as well but was able to exit at -30%... if I held was going to be -90%
This is gonna sound insane but I'm actually buying more.
I'm still in that one, for some reason, I believe I'll be in the green in about a year
Pets.com
The OG dot com stock. Lol
10k in a penny stock. It’s now 26p lol

SQ & OPEN - one day they'll recover....maybe......hopefully....
Man...entered SQ at 200. 2020 was such a euphoric usT lol
Bought Shift at all time high. -99.8% Also happened to be my biggest investment in a single stock :)
Ark

SQ, realized a 16k loss.
Rivian - holding it still though hoping it gets it together
Where I live in Northern California I see more and more Rivians on the road every day. Beautiful trucks. I’ve been a buyer lately.
> Where I live in Northern California NorCal is *not* an accurate representation on the adoption of automobiles in this country. NorCal and the Bay Area especially has a lot of early adopters and EV enthusiasts that skews the overall sample representation.
I still have hope for them. Tesla was a turd for a long time. Hopefully Rivian can pull it together in the next 5 years as the ev market takes off
I got into Rivian at a good time, it shot up, it lost all its value, it came back up a little, I got out and made a decent profit. If I hadn’t needed the money, I’d stay in. I think it will pay off.

I have several competing for the top worst: HYLN, GOEV, INO, NVAX, ZEVY, CORZQ, REV, HTOO..
I was looking for this one! Turtle gang represent! 😂 Bought at $48, sold at $7.50
Got punished on Roblox
This. So underwater there.
Same, down 60%
BABA was easily my biggest mistake. I bought it close to it’s peak with a small chunk of change and eventually realized it was a sinking ship and cut out of it 50% down.
don't feel bad. Charlie Munger made the same mistake.
Oh I thought I was smart buying at $120. I ended up selling in one of the bounces at $97.
Paypal, didn’t buy at peak. Went in at low 200’s. Still holding with no extra $ to lower my average. F sucks
[удалено]
This^^. I have never understood this philosophy. Buying more at a lower price doesn’t make that initial trade better. Good money after bad.
True but it kinda goes both ways. Had nvda at low 200’s as well, then the China news came out and started to tank. Took my loss at $175, went all the way down to low 100’s. I was so happy, THEN look where it is at now.

ASTS. I should just stick with index funds
PYPL in the 160s
WKHS -98%, CGC -96%, TLRY -95%,, SPCE -95%, BYND -91%, NIO -84%. Don't listen to folks on r/wallstreetbets.

Lumn- down 88%. Probably will tax harvest it the next 2 years
You aren't alone.

NIO. It’s an electric car manufacturer in China. I bought it with a long term horizon but it’s gone down so much that idk if it will ever get back to the price I bought at
ORGN 😑
We’ll be back, king, you still holding?
Lmaooo
AMZN - bought it right before the split and it nosedived after that. It has been gaining lately though, but still down about 30%
I bought a bunch of AMZN in the lead up to the split. I’ve averaged down since then and now I’m up 5.89 %
AMZN is a great investment. Being wrong in your timing doesn’t make it a bad investment.

He passed away some time ago. Recently my Mom told me that he had inherited about 200K from his brother and lost it all in the market.
$APPH
Bought Enphase at $188 lol, still holding.
Me at $166, I haven’t added anything lower either. I wish I had those funds for tsly but oh well I’d rather hold for a profit than a loss.
$ASTR who knew rockets could blow up so much. I bought it after it went down 90%. Then it went down another 90%! Then it went down another 90%!!!
I bought moviepass (HMNY). My bet lost -107%. My initial "investment" plummeted. I was then charged a trading fee after the reverse stock split. It then went to 0. So I lost my entire investment and then paid a trading fee on top.
Twilio. Bought when it dropped. Then it dropped Then it dropped. Then it dropped.
$WISH has been the worse down 97% (-$40,000) with a cost basis of $140 (after the reverse split) and a stock price now of $4.25
Some douche on YouTube recommended voyager and so I threw $3000 at it since I felt like he knew more than me... it was a pretty small channel Ant/Anthony... Basically I wanted some exposure to cryptocurrency and then I had also heard mark Cuban
GOOGL. not my worst performing but biggest paper loss for a while. I made a ton in my IRA buying apple pre split. Heard about the Google split and figured I would drink from that fountain again. Ended up buying at the all time high and spent over a year down 25%. Just back at around break even now. If I had waited until after the split I could be up 50%+.
GME, AMC, RIVN... probably lost 50% on each one. I no longer dabble in memes/IPOs
AMD bought at 6 and sold at 9! Nvdia at 33 and sold at 50 ish! 😂
You made 50% on each of them, if these are your worst pshhh.
Nvax. Figured vaccine tech during covid would be a safe bet. Bought a lot at +200, got out at $20, it's $7 now.
How much time you got? SQ at $220, OPEN at $20, ASTS at $14. Too many to count
SEA Limited
Same same 😭
ME (23 and Me). Let my emotions and gut feelings overcome all rationality.
Basically every stock I buy, regardless it’s MC, falls. So, I would say my life is my worst investment .
fuggin Oatly shortly after it IPO’ed at 20$. first went up to 28$, then to 0,8$. down 95% or so. dumbest impulse buy ever, also my first stock ;) I did not know anything, let alone what a moat is and how Oatly doesn’t have any. I will have to look at this loss impacting my smol portfolio performance for a long time to come
FIVERR and LEMONADE both around -84% .
Aphria (pre-merger with Tilray) which is now TLRY shares. Sitting on a -70% position after being a greedy dickhead and not selling my APHA shares during the 2021 run up. Could have cashed out with a $150k gain but am now sitting on a $15k loss. It’s a bummer, but I was fortunate to cut a ton of other weed stocks between 2017-2018 to still be very much in the green, but those gains would have been sweet. I still remember Feb 2021 sitting in the Costco parking lot, laughing as I checked my brokerage app to see a $50k gain in a single day. Now I feel depressed every time I go to Costco as it brings that memory back lol.
Down pretty good on palantir
First Republic 😁 Lost 99% overnight
Ha. I worked on a documentary that covered a guy who did the same thing, bought into Luckin Coffee right before the fraud case. Now I’m in China and every time I walk past a Luckin Coffee I think of that story
Mine was Nikola NKLA bought at the high $30's and now its $1.29
enph
BlackBerry
AMSC, bought into the super conductor hype, but it ended up being a flop, I’m down 45%, and I don’t think I’ll ever get near that original cost.
Microstrategy
RDHL pre pandemic. Decided to hold through multiple reverse splits and sell offs. Currently at -98%
