# Confession - Don't touch things you don't understand.

Today Trump TACO'd again, my holdings rose a lot pre-market. Looking at such high gains, I wanted to buy options to increase today's income. I ended up going all-in during the volatile period, causing myself severe losses. Remember this, I shouldn't have done this. No matter how great the temptation, I shouldn't have touched $Invesco QQQ Trust(QQQ.US) $SPDR S&P 500(SPY.US)
