Had a brutal week in the stock market. Anyone want to share their financial horror stories so we can mourn together?

I got absolutely crushed this week. I was heavily leveraged into semiconductors, specifically micron and marvell, and watching the charts today just made my stomach drop. I’ve lost a significant amount of money in a matter of days.

I know it’s just paper losses until I sell, and I’m trying to keep my head up, but it still stings. To make me feel a bit less lonely in this financial misery: What’s the biggest financial loss, bad investment, or scam you’ve ever experienced, and how long did it take you to mentally recover from it?
