70% Loss from a Moonshot Tip — Verify Sources and Size Positions

I lost 70% after following a “moonshot” call from a social account that only had a dog profile picture.

I jumped in without vetting the tip or sizing my position properly and was hit hard when the trade turned against me.

Lesson learned: verify who you follow, limit exposure to anonymous tips, use stop-losses, and rely on documented research rather than hype.
