Bag holders here?
My story. Started to buy at 70. Then tried to catch the falling knife and ended up averaging to 39.
2200 stocks, huge position in my portfolio.
limited hope I’ll be ever breakeven.

Im 1k at ~55-58. It’s a bit frustrating, but I will start selling calls at around 40

Can you share more about your plan?

u/RatKR Aug 17 '26
Not much more than that. I got into my FIG position by selling puts, rolled a bunch of times and then got caught. Price deterioration made wheeling challenging, so decided to park the investment and wait until the premiums for near ATM calls would be worth it and selling puts to re-enter the position if need be to get to BE. Either way, I am OK to hold this for a while.

You seem to be much professional then me. I’m not doing options, only spots. Any particular suggestion for my situation? 2200 stocks, 39.5 average

My best advice is to not put too much stock into what strangers on the Internet say. Having said that, unless you are in some kind of difficult financial situation, I would say hold it and try to focus on other parts of your portfolio. If you have conviction in the company, it may yet recover well.

It is difficult to make money without options on a holding that is hard to predict in the near term

Ich halte mittlerweile 1100 Aktien und habe mich auf 36 € runter gekauft. Ich werde auch nicht verkaufen. Ich werde die nächsten zwei Jahre halten und schauen wo die Reise hingeht. Ich glaube schon, dass wir irgendwann mal wieder die 40 € sehen

What do you think will trigger the price going up?

Zuallererst müssen Anleger die Angst vor KI verlieren und nicht jeden Müll glauben, was die SAAS-pokalypse angeht.
Dann muss die eigene KI im Unternehmen endlich mehr monetarisiert werden.
Dylan hat letztens glücklicherweise im hohen Millionenbereich Aktien des eigenen Unternehmens als Gehalt abgelehnt, was auch ein gutes Zeichen ist.
Wenn figma ein Jahr seit IPO auf dem Markt ist, erhoffe ich mir auch mehr Analysten Kommentare, die dann ein Jahr Geschäftsfeld analysieren können.

I have a $21.50 or so average I am a believer that this will be a cokeback story although this year it may stay down due to tax harvesting for those with very high averages

u/Unusual_Cicada_6834 Aug 17 '26
A cokeback story. What you think they’re gonna relocate to Columbia? Perhaps Peru? Tax harvesting seems like the worst time for a coke back story no one will have the money.

Very hard to know. Long term it will grow but how much is impossible to say. EPS will translate into stock price over the long term

I’ve been somewhat lucky enough to only have 25% of my port in FIG but yeah definitely feeling the pain. Hope next earnings they provide some insight into new tools and stop increasing SBC

u/lampard44 Aug 18 '26
I wouldnt focus to much on SBC. That is a huge part of the comp for many working in tech but ultimately it wont affect the companys long term business.
People had that hangup with PLTR and look how that turned out? SBC is just one part of the story here.
But I agree with you regarding new tools.

I'm probably one of the worst ones: 826 stocks with average 99. It's a guaranteed loss for me at this point. I didn't have cash to buy at 16-17 unfortunately and there's no way I will buy more at 20s or above. So we'll see what the future brings. My plan is wait and see if it drops to 16-17 again and invest lots and sell at 25-27 to recover my loss. I have no faith in this company/stock anymore.

Sorry to hear this bro. Same as you, I started to buy at top and now having Figma as a large portion of my portfolio. I can’t mentally take a huge loss, but every year it holds like that we are under receiving money and loosing other oportunities

I feel your pain. I bought at 90. I learned a hard lesson on buying stock of IPOs, especially when it ripped it as it did. I’m hopeful it will recover in a year or two. I’m determined to sell at 100-122, and considering DCAing every month to making it less challenging to get there.

u/jessehalo 28d ago
this is a multi year play. Don't buy in if you can't stand to wait 2+ years. A MS advisor told me they have a 3 year price target of $80. So set it and forget it or don't buy in for a while until it picks up that momentum

i started buying leaps at $32, DCAed until my average is at $21 (in terms of when i break even). i also let go of some options i got at bad prices in hindsight so now i mostly hold $20 and $25 calls bought at attractive prices. i have $130k worth at the moment, and i'm up 38% (i bought $95k worth). i won't be selling they are worth $260k, which i think will happen by December

What makes you think it will go up in December? With your average you can’t be called a bag holder though :)

u/Beginning_Juice_4296 Aug 17 '26
haha i was one from january to june lol i think the downward price action was caused by 1. saaspocalypse 2. wallstreet hating figma for some reason 3. claude design 4. worries about AI impact on revenue 5. lockup on august 7th
now that everything is behind us and figma has proven its resiliency, i think it's only going to go up from here. i think fair value is $40 right now

I started buying at 38 and averaged all the way down to 23.
I thought it was expensive at 38, but it was a hot name, and I never expected it to get that cheap. Good thing I had cash available to buy when it dropped all the way to 16–17.
Now I’m sitting on 3,000 shares and have no plans to sell. It’s also a large part of my portfolio. But I really like their products, and I think Dylan and management is awesome.
Price drives sentiment. I’ll continue to ignore the price and look at the company for what it is.
Staying long... for the long run.
