About Loser Buddy

Everyone who's traded crypto or stocks has a red position somewhere. Most finance media only wants to talk to you when you're winning. Loser Buddy exists for the rest of the time — the drawdown, the "should I sell," the tax paperwork, the 2 a.m. spiral.

We publish recovery guides, plain-language market news, the behavioral side of losing money, and practical tax guidance — all aimed at one thing: getting you back to a plan instead of a panic.

Nothing here is financial advice. It's a starting point for your own decisions, written by people who've also stared at a portfolio that's down bad.

How we write this

Articles are written and fact-checked by our editorial team rather than published under a single named "expert" — we'd rather be upfront about that than dress up general guidance as personalized advice from a credentialed advisor we don't have. Tax and legal specifics vary by jurisdiction and change over time, so wherever those come up, treat the article as a starting point for a conversation with a qualified professional, not the final word. We link to related guides throughout so you can dig deeper on any specific step.
