Options aren’t hard because of Greeks. They’re hard because they rent space in your head all day. Most people don’t lose because they’re wrong. They lose because they size too big, stay too long, and don’t know when the trade is actually done.
Walking away after a $150k hit is unironically elite risk management.
I trade options too, but only when structure gives me an edge. If that structure isn’t there, shares beat dopamine every time.
Congrats on the win. Surviving options is the real flex.
When groceries and rent takes out an entire paycheck for most of the country thanks to inflation there's gonna be a hard sell to keep sending money to foreign places like Ukraine, Israel, etc with non stop printer money when American can't afford to eat anymore.
it used to be to start a small biz. There's no point in that anymore given late stage capitalism. Want to start a landscaping business? good luck, true green will undercut you to the point where you would only operate to pay your rent. Want to master a craft to sell your skils? good luck, Amazon and walmart have made it too cheap to repair items, just get new ones. Want to learn a trade? Good luck, all the giant construction companies have their hand in every pie so starting your own is futile.
