A short YouTube conversation where one speaker explains winning $20,000 in a day and how they used the money. They say it wasn’t an instant five-minute win, that they bought a car (celebrated at the dealership in Minnesota), did not spend the whole $20k, and allocated part to longer-term investing — specifically buying more Tesla shares despite short-term declines. They also reference options trading taxation (claims ~37%) and say they used trading proceeds as a down payment toward a G-Wagon.
What do you do with 20 grand that you won in one day? And how, how fast did you win it? Was it like a five minute win?
No, no, it took a while. No, no, no, I think, I think I went, I woke up, I bought a car, and then.
And then you won 20, huh?
After I got the break.
All right, who wants to know what he did with the money?
What'd you do with it? I bought, I bought a car and then. No, no, no, no. I didn't spend a whole 20. I. Listen, I told you, I don't got an uncle named Sam. So you got to understand, some options trading, they usually charge you 37% of tax. So if you make 100, they want 37,000 from. You want to give up 37,000? No, not me. So I had to put some of that into the long term investing. So I bought more shares of Tesla, understanding that it was going down. But I understand that Tesla is a great company to invest in, in my opinion. So I bought more shares. But I did, you know, reward myself. I mean, if you make $20,000, you're going to go reward yourself.
To have to.
Yeah, it's Minnesota. So I celebrated at the dealership.
Nice. Nice. Is that where you got the G wagon?
Nah, that's. I, I hit that on qqq. But I traded and made that down payment in the dealership when I was signing the papers.
You traded and made your down. Your G wagon down payment in the dealership?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's fire.
It's documented. It's on the, it's on the ground. That's fire.
I love it. So let's talk about mindset a little bit, right.
