For Loop through text file only outputs last line

I think I am about to have an a brain aneurysm. I am trying to print the lines of a text file to a new file, but it only outputs the last line. I have done this a dozen times, now I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

for /F "tokens=*" %%A in (results.txt) do (
   echo %%A
) > imsofrustrated.txt
PAUSE

Am I literally retarded? This is in reference to a previous question I posted. FINDSTR - Stop on last string match
