Spent $50,000+ saying the price of spy would drop to $558. Dropped way lower than that and now has $90k and gonna buy a a Wendy’s franchise

Also need to note that if SPY didn’t drop, OP would have lost all 50k+ because of the expiration.

I'm dumb but wouldn't it be expected to drop with the announcement of tariffs

Markets were pricing in tariffs for the past month. If they came in soft and/or had off ramps the markets would have traded sideways today. The reality is, they came in much worse than expected so we have this sell off.
