No. It was pure, stupid gambling. That's why I couldn't sleep well over the past week. 
  
 I usually gamble with no more than $4K on these kind of bets. My realized net loss year to date was $20K prior to today.  
  
 I bought $100K of gold (IAU) after closing the trade this morning.

No worries about the taxes on good?
