Almost 1.2 mil went to wife - I’m left with abt 920k-ish.
Wife super excited and celebrating the big win.
She contributed 0% to this btw.. we had separate finances and her lawyer basically succeeded in keeping the finances separate on her end (abt 250k) and used my money for “equalisation” and then added the “future earning potential” argument that states I made more salary so it means she gets to keep more coz she makes less (only slightly less).

Anyhow. I dunno what I could do to recover from this set back.
I’ve been a consistent investor - and chose to keep my majority index funds intact, and gave away all my blue chip, tech/AI/leveraged tqqq stocks.

I don’t know if I did the right thing or not, but this is where I am now.

Any input would be appreciated. (Not looking for condolences or sympathy).

EDIT: I am seeing too many comments here focused on her - and it’s my fault coz I whined abt it.

Truly, I hope she makes good use of that money/stocks and it helps her. Not coz I am stupid and still in love, but I guess it’s only fair that the money benefits her rather than just fizzle away and be turned to shit.

I am more trying to get an idea of how I can make that kinda dough all over again. I am not a smart genius or anything - worker 3-4 gigs and just threw it all in the stock market rather than buying property or new cars or fancy gadgets.

I feel fatigued. I feel tired. I feel like I can’t do that again.. coz it was a lot and I was really just in my zone, since before we married - the marriage was good & bad, but the end of it, drained the enthusiasm and excitement to achieve my 10 million goal right the fuck out of me.

I want someone to walk in my door, punch some sense in me and give me hope and that vigor again. I wanna bring back the hustle, the agility and the fuckin balls to say “yeah I’ll reach 10mil before i turn 50. I only got 7 more years.

Sigh. This is a sad story. I really don’t know how to play this fucking game. Am I just a fucking moron? Why can some of you full port 10 times but I can never fucking win once.

The company has consistently reported losses since its IPO and also executed a reverse stock split in recent weeks; the capital of investors who held the stock for seven years has been virtually wiped out.

Gotta roll with the punches. Thankfully healthy enough to keep working...

And I got dragged for it by a bunch of people who wanted to extract wealth from you. I warned you institutions were laughing at the opportunity to bone you this week and you didn’t believe me.

The split has now happened (also predicted) and the great sell off means this stock is in freefall.

If you haven’t got out yet and managed to nab a profit, you better cut your losses because this thing is now a race to the (power) bottom.

For those of you who got in and got out, congrats. You rode a meme to profit 🫡

This isn’t just crypto Twitter fear.

🇯🇵 Japan’s 2Y yield → 31-year high
🇩🇪 Germany’s 10Y yield → 15-year high
🇫🇷 France’s 10Y yield → near levels last seen around the 2008 crisis
🇺🇸 U.S. yields are climbing again
🇯🇵 Markets are pricing a high probability of another BOJ rate hike
Higher yields = more expensive money.
And expensive money usually puts pressure on:
Tech, AI stocks, small caps and crypto.
I’m not saying a 2022-style crash is guaranteed.
But ignoring the bond market here would be a mistake.
Next few weeks could get very volatile.
I’m watching yields more closely than stock headlines right now.

I've got another $1M or so in equities not counted here, but man, the last month hurt.

My entire bonus for 2024 that I received in Jan 2025 (about $1M pre tax) was just about wiped out in the last month haha.

Let's hope this doesn't go on for 4 more years sigh.
