💸 MAY THE MARKETS BE WITH YOU! 💸
Greed got him. He’d be a multimillionaire if he would have just kept the 100k in shares with no margin.
Get rich quick doesn't work.
I've only ever played the markets with my own money, never used borrowed and never intend to.
🎯
I sold 40k in NVDA Oct 2022 for a healthy loss (tax loss harvesting). I planned on repurchasing 31 days later. The share price had gone up so I waited and waited missing the boat. Cost me an early retirement. I sold Tesla at the same time. I'm an idiot,yes.
tesla is a hold man
Yup, most of us are idiots.
I think many of us sold at least some Nvidia before the AI hype train only to buy back in.
You can make it up now, buy XRP and hold. It has the potential to go to 10k-60k in the next 4 years.
Been there and did the same, it’s the cost of education in investing, still leverage but only 10%, very painful to learn these life lessons.
Lost around 10k USD in 2021, during leveraged trading. Never ever leverage, my biggest lesson too!
My loss in 2022 was around $70K, but I wasn't forced liquidation because my leverage was about 1.4x. I recovered all in 2024. lol. but yes true, learnt never leverage.
just leverage smart
Everyone thinks they're a hotshot investor until they're not. Everyone needs education from The School of Hard Knocks. Using margin invites 100% of the dynamics of that strategy, losing 100% of your investment.
@@mrhellinga9440 Right, like 10-20% of your portfolio is manageable. 100-300% is asking for financial ruin.
$10k????
Pennies my boy. 😅😅😅😅
I watched one of the Warren Buffets's interview in which he said the key to success in life is to avoid 3 Ls (Liquor, Leverage, Ladies).
Is that true ?
This was said by Charlie munger.
Ladies? He must be gay 😂
Sounds like munger
Leverage can be good, but only when used after big sell offs to buy high quality stocks
Never ever over-leverage and go all-in. Always have some dry powder on hand. 😉
Can go all in like tsla investors, just need to have holding power.
@@temasekb Sure, just don't do it on margin.
How about wife?
Unless you are in a casino
Finally someone who understand how games work, i use leverage and bigger than 1:3 much bigger never got margin call, never open to big position, never buy on top and always be little cautious and always buy your position in many parts and you will earn
I bought AMD at $2 and sold at $34. I’m bummed that I was impatient, but I’m happy I learned my lesson from a profit.
When did this happen?
I bought AMD at $133 thinking it was a steal. Leveraged 2 times. Currently down about $12,000. I will get a margin call if it touches $101.
You still made 17x the initial investment. That's quite good in my book.
I like how adam khoo almost screeched at this part~
"He didn't learn his lesson. Or he learnt the wrong lesson".
it's horrible to watch this, i'm in pain
That is the most sad investing chart I have ever seen
Nothing is sad, this is common
Many people have over leverage position and this is called high fall or short squeeze during black swan event or manipulators.
They liquidate retailers out and then price moves in the original direction
Blue line goes up..profits is what I see
@@ChiChi-b5kbecause the investor was leveraged, they saw none of it.
@@keshavtodi2177 Sad and common can intersect honestly.
There is nothing sad about this ..
He was a fool....not intelligent 🤓
Who buys a single stock for 100k and that to 3 times levereved😅😅😅😅😅.
HE DESERVED IT.
I seriously don't think it is a true story
For new investors: Buy stocks in solid companies and hold them as long as they stay strong. Ignore forecasts and market opinions-they’re distracting at best and useless in the long run
Margin kills when margin calls. Never invest with margin.
can be very risky when market turns on you
I learned that when I first started I lost money and cut it off ASAP
Time is everything, and if you boarded the bus at the wrong time, then the next bus is patience !
Very good advice my friend. I have lost 90% of my life's savings that I'll never recoup because I was a gambler in the stock market. High margin
I'm new to trading/investing and was recently reflecting on the past 2 years. The one thing that's stood out was I made most of my money on buying and holding, even when the stock goes down. I'll eventually make money if I'm patient enough to hold through the pain.
As long as company + business fundamentals sound...
Same, lost many , many thousands trading and doing options, my overwhelming profits have been buy and hold blue chips and reinvest dividends.
Unless you've bought a xerox or at&t....
yes, don't be greedy, don't gamble away away with what you have...
Indeed! But Greed is where MOST people fall foul! Mastery over oneself is a Key Skill that only few of us have! Which partially explains the state of this world we live in! 😳
Thank you for the lesson, Adam! He lost everything! The cardinal lesson - the REAL lesson - is NOT to use leverage to magnify "profits." Timing is NOT the issue. GREED is the issue.
Greed is not the issue here... Its also not that he used leverage.
The real issue is that he took an uncovered risk that could wipe him out. He needed to put safeguards in place in case of price drop, to make sure that he didnt lose everything. Basically, a limit where you auto trigger sales to cover your leverage.
He took an extremely silly trading position. Putting everything you have into a single stock is silly. And leveraging on top of that only compounds the silliness. It was a disaster waiting to happen.
I disagree, use leverage on a diversified bases AS LONG as that leverage is NOT callable.
Callable leverage is a pretty stupid thing
I think his health is most important and he is sick now.All the best to him in the future.
Sometimes bad news can snowball. From one mistake people can end up in early grave.
As a nvidia developer partner i was aware their gpus gonna be kick ass and bought stock cheap few years ago before rtx etc and I'm now retired before by 35th birthday lol.
I hate you and love you at the same time. Congratulations man. Just jealousy here
Now tell me what stock will be next nvidia😆
Fuck yeah! Smart man!
me, 37, as a jack of 7 trades with computers, saw it coming in 2018 and spent all my life savings, cars into mining rigs, now i am a millionaire, 3 home owner, 4 cars all paid off and live off stock dividends, crypto and rent money....easy...
That's considered insider trading but props to you bro
I bought 20 shares in March 2022 or something like that. It immediately went down…. I thought about selling, but decided to buy 20 more shares. This is one of the few times I have had good timing in the market.
You are doing averaging down. That works for long term investments.
I will be Holding a private class soon
I bought 15 shares August 2022 as a small tech holding only knowing of Nvidia's gaming GPUs and some automotive chips. I only heard of AI October.
I agree. Timing was not the issue. The risk management is.
This is -an outstanding lesson and presentation - thank you……learn from other people’s mistakes as they are the cheapest lessons learned
I made most of my money on buying and holding patience is key.
That's why you don't leverage long term positions. I can see leveraging a day trade...maybe even a swing trade. But never a long term hold.
this is the saddest story. he invested in the most successful company before everybody
Only thing greed got the better of him as he leveraged 3 times!
@@jayg6434Two times leverage wouldn’t had put him in this situation. Would had made it far easier for him to manage & not lost all.
11 months of investing. $77k saved, debts cleared, and a portfolio just shy of a quarter million. Taking my finances into consideration last year was worth it in retrospect.
I appreciate you explaining everything because im new to stocks/finance and the majority of financial youtubers dont explain the basic terminologies used 👍🙏
Holding power is important. Hard to predict short term events .
Thank you for sharing this lesson. ❤
A few friends have commented some of the topics are repetitive but drawing comparison as a dancer, we do basics all the time and there is always something new we can work on in our fundamentals.
I gained more insights into leverage with regards to 1.5x during 30-40% discounts and the dangers of overleverage in this episode.
Thank you Shifu for the video!
It’s not rocket science. You buy good companies and you hold them. You don’t jump in and out trying to time the market.
so sad..even when you're right you can be wrong and lose it all if you don't manage risk
This is my favorite teacher for trading!
Leverage is the most danger thing to do in trading
So are buying stock options, short selling and buying futures.
It is better to follow the old book to invest with money we have and not to leverage or option.
"This is the way! ALL IN! NO STOPLOSS!!" -Wsb
Great analysis Adam. I totally agree with what you just said.
it isn't so much about timing (although its important), its about not taking on leverage as your risk is amplified
Leverage can be effective but it needs to be done only after big sell offs
Ten years ago I lost a lot in a year with leverage (when money was scarce). Now I won three times as much back in a few month without! I got me a brain also the last years...
Timing is incredibly important!
Thank's DeepSeek...
Never leverage...use existing savings
If you're going to leverage, buy only high-quality stocks that pay regular dividends. These types of stocks usually have a soft landing when there is a stock market crash.
Dude.... Your awesome! I lost a lot of money w/ options. I never do margin, but options are just as bad or worse. Now, I don't place more than a 100 dollar bet or gamble per month with the goal of making 25 percent. Funny, I take l
Out money I get, pay myself and take that same 100 try again..
Otherwise... The rest of what I have is DCA in actual stocks. Gonna be a long time making my money back and I have learned, but still not perfect... Just less risk.
🙏
Peter Lynch always says to invest what you are willing to lose.
Timing is crucial if you are a trader rather than an investor.
trader = gambler, sute different rules for each one. invest in good company for 5 years and sleep well every night. or trade and be in stress from bell ring to bell ring.
There is a big difference between investing and gambling.

Congratulations,
you have truly become an original Warren Buffett, a professional top poker player. Any greed is the result of a personal internal imbalance and is overpaid at least twice.
When you use leverage, the system knows your position. The market maker will make a temporary dip to force you to sell even though their ultimate plan is to pump it. That is why it bounces back right after you sell. So it is not really about timing.
Unless you have at least in the millions in a position the market maker does not care about you. If they see a lot of people with stop losses set, they will push stock down to trigger stop losses and then buy lower.
Market makers don't care about a couple thousand or even hundred thousand in a position
Market makers doing what they do best. Taking all our money. They are very good at it.
@marioxmariox of course, they see as a whole. One person's leverage can be small, but if you see many leveraged positions, they will go after that.
@hostileaks4495 yes, they only care when it is big. If there are millions of people with small positions, they will go after those.
Thanks for the refreshment, I followed both your long-term investing course and the short-term trading courses and they are both very much worth it. They give you the handholds to become a profitable investor with confidence and give you realistic expectations.
Leverage you have to know when to apply. I activated my margin about 18 months ago and my net worth tripled last year due to smart deployment of the leveraged funds (primarily into a handful of AI assets including Nvidia) now is in fact one of the hardest times ever to lose money deploying margin IF you put it into solid companies & the AI revolution makes it dead easy to invest in solid companies. So the risk of loss is at it's lowest level now & is likely to stay there, not for weeks or months but for years.
Glad I saw this! I’m sticking to long term!
Only if you sell?
Great Video !! Diversify is important !!
Buy stocks which you think has huge potential to grow. Seeing my portfolio grow changed my life for good
The lesson is not to get greedy, which is hard & if it isn't yours, then it isn't..not fated..
Real lesson, greed and leverage.
Many investors do not consider the emotional aspect when it comes to clear-headed decision-making. When they are losing 80% of your capital, you can't think straight. For that reason, I stick to a golden rule : invest an amount where you will not be emotionally affected, regardless of which way the chart goes.
Forgot my family had stock in this since before the pandemic. Great thing to forget about.
All u lose is time.....if it's a decent stock the price will eventually rise.....always have enough to average down
im so glad i sold literally all of my tech stocks around two weeks ago, before the whole elon salute and deepseek situation
Best investment advice right here.
Love you coolest teacher 💞💞😊
“I wasn’t wrong in just early”
“They’re the same thing!”
Every successful trader/investor/business owner has losses. It’s an unavoidable name of the game. Don’t quit. Learn, adapt, overcome. Leveraged trading is a monster, I also lost a years worth of savings during corona. I doubled my savings then lost it all. But
2:30 wrong.. 40% times tree = sapling.
Informative video! Thank you Adam.
Thanks Adam for the valuable advice on investing
Another great one, thanks Adam.
Very interesting and insightful take.
Hmm I need to sign up for a class. I really have no clue how to start
I'm just glad that I'm NOT a gambler! Because ultimately, playing the stock market IS gambling!!!
Holy crap what stories and lessons.
I broke the diversification rule going all in on Nvidia and Rolls Royce during the covid lows. It worked out well but I probably wouldn't do it again and was never tempted by leverage.
That's why i dont complicate things in investing, spot and no leverage etc
This is ever funnier this week
No it is not just timing, risk management too.
Thank you for this Adam! I got so much value out of this.
I love the HK accent!
Hi Adam, maybe you discussed this question before. I am interested in how you manage currency risks. Can you elaborate on that? Thx John
Thank you Adam Khoo some great lessons here!
Thank you for your lessons, you are so wise ❤, im interested in Nu holding, should i wait for p/e 25 or it is fine at 30?
Great video, nice lesson about leveraging..buying stocks …luck or skill?
Maybe both…
Veryry good advise
ADAM thanks !!!
Listening to Adam Khoo for investing lessons hahaha 😂
Thanks for always guiding us Adam. Your videos are truly helpful!
I was also highly leveraged on Nvidia at the time, and I lost it all, but $40,000.
Ouch
This was awesome thank you!!
Its good to be greedy.... but dont be too greedy to use margin .
Thanks Sir
Thank you Adam Khoo
I leverage as well but if I hit high risk I start transferring money in… upside I gained downside I not worried . I only paid interest for the margin and give me liquidity . If stocks run up a lot I sold and paid off margins . If it crashed I start to pump cash back in to reduce margin risk. Advantage is that I have liquidity both ways but the max leverage is 2x. I kept half the money in the bank. Advantage is that I can focus on growth stocks and not be challenged by sudden drops for a longer term horizon. In 2022 when tech stocks crashed I am down 90% but bought as much as possible. That accounts for 240% gain in 2023 and 240% gain in 2024.
Timing as not most important thing
Question articles during crises, see if true that performance degraded
You leverage with money you can lose, you invest with money you spare and buy some solid shares. Classic Icarus effect. Loosing money with Nvidia is a masterclass of misunderstanding stock markets.
Could the Brooker short all his holdings and bet on he can’t play? Or is it not allowed.
V interesting video from guru adam
Thank you.
In Adam we trust !
Thanks sifu! Well u said that kukubird leveraged 3x i think angmoh doesn’t know what u mean 😅
I am a complete beginner, never traded anything, don’t have any money, don’t know anything haha….however, even I have found myself asking at this early stage ‘why do people leverage??’ It seems very risky to me
Thanks Adam for the lesson! What about using leverage on selling options/puts?
never leverage when selling options. all put options should be secured with available cash.
Actually, it's the type of leverage you use that can make the difference. Don't leverage from your broker. Use leverage by borrowing from a line of credit, for example. In that caee, he wouldn't be liquidated as long as he keeps paying his interest and he really would have 3x the profits, if he held through the crash.
