description: "July was really tough, wiped out a year's worth of profits. Finally had a big recovery today; otherwise, I would have barely held on 🤡Sandisk, which I bought the dip on the day before yesterday, is now up $700. Should I sell at 1500? AXT and Oracle are both down $5,000 in unrealized losses. Hope AXT's after-hours earnings report has some surprises. Oracle shouldn't drop much further from this price level. I'll continue to patiently wait for a reversal.$Sandisk(SNDK.US)$AXT(AXTI.US)$Oracle(ORCL.US)"

- **wallstreetbet的交易员 · 2026-08-02T03:41:53.000Z**: What is the year-to-date return?
  - **退场** (2026-08-02T09:14:30.000Z): From +25% to -25%, recovering to -2.7% on Thursday and Friday
  - **wallstreetbet的交易员** (2026-08-02T10:52:48.000Z): We're pretty much the same, but we can start making money next week.
- **MGBF-L · 2026-07-30T15:46:54.000Z**: I've looked at your portfolio. I'm not very familiar with the upstream materials for optical communications, but Oracle falls under 'the higher the sky, the wider the earth' (limitless potential). I also hold a small position in it. I think we should just hold and let time work its magic.
  - **退场** (2026-07-30T15:48:29.000Z): I've been on two rollercoasters with Oracle, reducing my position significantly at the highs both times, but I underestimated the extent of the drop and ended up buying the dip halfway down the mounta
  - **MGBF-L** (2026-07-30T15:50:21.000Z): No one can accurately predict the top or bottom, which is normal.
- **清醒自持 · 2026-07-30T15:43:37.000Z**: Oracle at 250, didn't run away with a single dime
  - **退场** (2026-07-30T15:44:55.000Z): I sold a lot, but after the big drop later, I bought them back one by one. The profit of over 10k is now a loss of 5k🙃
  - **清醒自持** (2026-07-30T15:49:18.000Z): Your discipline is really strong. I was also blinded by the rally at the time, and like you, I didn't lock in my $10k profit in time, saw it reverse, and ended up losing quite a bit.
  - **退场** (2026-07-30T15:51:18.000Z): Useless. Sold at 112 after buying at 250, still losing money by catching the falling knife in the middle of nowhere. Just this time, the unrealized loss is $10k less than last time. Have to keep endur
- **南方大帝 · 2026-07-30T14:48:10.000Z**: When can I break even?
- **南方大帝 · 2026-07-30T14:47:46.000Z**: Oracle options are suffering badly
  - **退场** (2026-07-30T15:21:58.000Z): From 250 down to 114, my underlying stock is doing so poorly. Options can just die right here 🙈
- **MGBF-L · 2026-07-30T14:38:26.000Z**: Quite impressive, and there's even profit 😂
  - **退场** (2026-07-30T15:21:13.000Z): $20k profit wiped out, plus another $5k loss 😭
  - **MGBF-L** (2026-07-30T15:32:05.000Z): Bro, we are fellow townsmen. Keep it up, things will get better. Just control the occasional greed a bit. I think you're OK.
  - **退场** (2026-07-30T15:41:43.000Z): I've become quite less greedy, only buying the dip and not chasing highs, but recently this market has been too unfriendly to left-side trading. Damn it, even storage stocks keep getting cut in half �
- **何处笙歌落 · 2026-07-30T14:37:56.000Z · 👍 1**: The good days are coming, the hardest times are already behind us haha
- **ArtEnjoyer · 2026-07-30T14:31:56.000Z**: Actually, I'm not bullish on Oracle. I tried a short-term trade a few days ago and got trapped, so I exited once I broke even... From now on, I plan to stick to QQQ 😂
  - **退场** (2026-07-30T15:23:01.000Z): Hahaha, even though individual stocks barely make any money and even underperform QQQ, they just look down on QQQ 😂
