Losing $60k Trading Options at 16

from The Retail Rundown Hosted by Blossom Social

How does a 16-year-old build a six-figure stock portfolio?In this episode of the Retail Rundown Podcast, 16-year-old Charan from New Jersey shares how he went from a 7th grade stock market competition to running a six-figure portfolio, while building 240K+ followers on Instagram and a 30,000-member Discord community along the way. That journey has included some huge swings, including a nearly $100K win on Penguin Solutions options and a $60K options loss on AAOI that completely changed how he sizes trades, takes profits, and cuts losses. Charan explains how he researches stocks using AI and social media, why he’s bullish on memory stocks like SanDisk and Micron, why he bought Nebius after Michael Burry went short, and why he thinks dropping out of high school to day trade is a mistake.See Charan's portfolio: https://linktw.in/lsccrw
