description: "I took profits too early on the 2x related to light, and missed the rally. I'm scared; holding the underlying stock feels much safer. I won't use leverage anymore unless there's extreme panic. The volatility drag from sharp rises and falls is just too high.I can't hold on. After losing so much it feels numb, I'll just go back to the factory to turn screws for now."
