People getting wiped out.

All used margin/leverage with options to buy the latest dip, that keeps dipping and breaks past historical bull trends. Mind you, they actually made huge profits during the past few years bull market in tech by buying each major dip.

GG.



Jacob Keeton goes all-in with options and margin whenever RKLB reaches the 200-day MA. Then one day, RKLB bounced briefly off the 200-day MA like before but then went even lower and never recovered. That's the end of his portfolio.

since short term trading is a zero sum gain, which means you will see both winner and loser posts on X.
for every one that claims he got wiped out, there will be another showing huge profits 😅

That Jacob Keeton is not a short-term trader, but buy-the-dip investor who used leverage during dips. He got away several times with this, and one day this thing failed.
Buy-the-dip cannot use leverage. If use leverage, need to adopt hard stop loss to protect past profits.

$6.4M or most of it. He did take profit, but he gambled everything back into the dip in RKLB at 200-day MA recently.



RKLB went from $4 to $145 (coming out from May 2024 crash to Jun 2026 SPCX IPO fever) = 36X.
Massive bull run that will make any small retail investor rich.

I wonder why he gambled so big. Maybe he is not really telling the truth, just come out with story to make it interesting for followers. Take it with a pinch of salt.

His positions were independently verified by 3rd parties like Morningstar, he didnt just post his positions on X or Reddit, its almost certainly real.

Its easy to make big money from the stock market but very few manage to keep it over the long run.

July has been a decent month for my portfolio, just managed to overtake S&P500... if I can get 10% for the whole year that would be above expectations. :ROFLMAO:
