That's my point, lol. It's a 'casino' with green and red numbers on a screen, which is significantly more dangerous than physical currency gambling at an actual casino.

That’s why they give you chips at a casino, you don’t plunk down a $20 bill on the table for every hand. Otherwise everyone would stop playing a lot more quickly.

You'll be back. They always come back. It might be months, years. But then you'll hear about some dipshit 31 year old who hit it big with a couple of well-timed trades on $XYZ or how BTC is at 1.5 million and you'll lay awake in a cold sweat thinking about what could've been.

Completely agree with you. I’ve been thinking about using about 10k and buy the actual stock instead of using options. Be happy with the much smaller gain but much smaller loss. Same concept. And actually cash out the gains.

Tell me you have paper hands without telling me you have paper hands.

100% agree and super dangerous for younger people. I didn't get into options until my late 40s (thank God). If I had this at my fingertips in my twenties I would've lost a ton of money. I'm a gambling addict naturally, but as I've aged I've learned bankroll management and risk management. But I still fall into that trance where it's just numbers on a screen.

Have fun with your stock picks, don’t forget to leave your penis in a bucket on the way out the door.
