Two months ago, a trader known on r/wallstreetbets as Dull_Fly_7443 put a $1 million portfolio entirely into the stock and MSTR. That position doubled, and instead of cashing out, the trader plowed the margin gains back into a concentrated bet centered on the same name, with TSLA and MCD added alongside.
Running maximum margin means every percentage-point drop in the portfolio's value hits harder than it would in an unleveraged account, and below a certain threshold the broker sells positions automatically, at whatever price the market offers. The trader is not describing a hedge or a stop-loss anywhere in the post.
The top comment on the thread, from wrongsyourgrammar and carrying 121 upvotes, reads: "Ok guys he posted, time to dump it." That reaction is a familiar wallstreetbets dynamic where a public, large position becomes a target for traders who expect followers to buy in and then sell into the crowd.
The stock is a de-SPAC name, meaning it emerged from a special-purpose acquisition company merger rather than a traditional IPO. De-SPAC stocks carry thinner liquidity than comparable exchange-listed companies, which matters when a forced seller needs to exit a $2 million position quickly. That is the risk the post's 171 comments are debating.
