Today, I tried to sell 2,000 options contracts, but I bought them instead, resulting in a big loss. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, I've just lost over £12,000 and it's not even halfway through the trading day. FML
Nothing to do with us
Today, after I lost $5000 in crypto yesterday, I'm now down about $150k total since the start of the year. I just deployed more and bought $FML to make up for the losses. Hopefully it’ll happen. FML
Today, I found out my broker invested my $6000 in the wrong stock. How did I find out? He called me to let me know the stock crashed. FML
Today, a vendor contacted me to let me know that our contract renewal went through. Turns out, I misread our original contract and now I've obligated our company to buy $24k of services, when my boss wanted to cancel it. It's only February and I already know I'm not getting a bonus this year. FML
Today, I gambled on a fart and lost. FML
Today, I submitted an offer on a house. I got a call a few minutes later saying that it had collapsed. FML
A tax on irresponsability
Today, I turned $50 into 25k, all off sports gambling, but then lost most of it before I could even take the money out. I'm now sitting on about $1500 to my name. FML
One hell of a poker game?
Today, I lost 1200 dollars, my fiancée, my dog, my apartment, and my car. FML
Today, I got fired from my position as a financial investor for giving a client the exact investment he asked for, even though the investment was out of my mandate, and I had gone to my direct manager to authorize the investment. My manager was promoted. FML
Burn the stock market down
Today, after I sold the bulk of my employer-granted stocks last week, assuming its the highest price the stock would reach in a while, it's now nearly 30% higher to the price I sold at. FML

#2, I don't only because I'm 12. Could someone please explain it for me (and not dumbed down, cause I'm actually one of the few grade school kids who actually pays attention in class and knows something about finance).

You're 12. The only thing you know about finance is the allowance you receive from your parents.

Actually, he's 16 or 17 now, so he probably knows more about finance than he did in 2009...

I doubt it would be that difficult to grasp, you probably wouldn't need to know a whole lot about finance (if you do anyway)

Options are not easy to explain. They are a right but not an obligation to purchase a set number of shares or goods at a predetermined price at a future date from another party.

Yeah. I'm 11th and I'm posting this 2 and a half years after the FML was posted. Not much of an accomplishment there.
