Rough :/, if you don't mind me asking what was your financial goal for getting into stocks? It's a rough lesson learned, but I know I'll be ready when the next bull market comes.

I just didn't want to have all this money sitting in cash. The original investments were 100% shares. After the july disappointment in $FB and $AMZN I switched it to 0.8 delta Jan-19 calls, thinking that's relatively safe AMZN won't be 20% lower in 6 months time. Clearly that was a mistake, and I should have stuck to shares. Fun fact - those 0.8 delta calls cost 20k a pop, now you can get them for less than a grand.
