A viral Fidelity account screenshot shows one of the wildest retail trading round trips ever documented: the portfolio peaked at $27.55M on June 22, 2026, then collapsed to $7M by July 16, $3.84M by July 28, $1.15M by October 13, and just $600K by October 23.
The poster calls it genuinely disturbing and notes this kind of damage takes years to repair. The quoted tweet jokes about capitulating on the AI trade, underscoring how concentrated the position appears to have been.
