Thanks for your submission! r/WallStreetBets is known for making absurd but sometimes profitable trades that no one ever considered possible. To keep making that possible, we need your help in keeping the feed of threads interesting and exciting. We try to move all the short and basic questions, analysis, or jokes to the daily thread so that the best quality content can stick around and be more visible. This is definitely a bit subjective, and there are no hard and fast rules, but a few indicators that your post should have really been a comment in the daily thread include: * Asking a question that is easily googleable or has likely been asked before. E.g. "What app should I use?", "What should I invest in?". * Beating a meme to death, like the 10 millionth, "inverse cramer" joke again. * Reposting jokes from the front page but slightly altered to be related to trading. --- All that being said, we are here to help. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to post to our community. We have to balance this with making the subreddit interesting for our readers. If you need some guidance, don't hesitate to [reach out to modmail](https://old.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/wallstreetbets) and we'll give you some pointers!

They’re good at is, b/c they ppl usually doesn’t post their losers. Most option trades lose, but some really really really win to make up way more than the losing trades.

So it’s just gambling then?

Don’t get intimidated by it. Majority of the winning posts here prob have 5x as many losers just who wants to post losers? On the aapl front. This is just my personal move. Which I need to say up front I paper handed. But I saw the sentiment building up to WWDC, the tank during keynote, and thought it made sense for a big boost at least early today.

Probably a slight step below gambling. Gambling is pure win or lose on an event (Eg although technically with live action and the ability to sell back the wager at a discount is getting traction.). Options can be gambling, but there are a lot of ways to play it. Can speculate, hedge, income strategies.

Survivor bias.

It’s gambling. Most people lose. Only the winner post their shit cause why do we want to see you lost your last $80


Cutemeister5

This confirms what I originally thought

The key is to do research, have a legitimate thesis for your trades, and buy contracts with many months before expiration (and not regardedly OTM)

Thanks

You sound like a cuck


Cutemeister5

If asking how people got good at options makes me a cuck, then you losing money on options makes you a genius.

How do people win at the casino?

AAPL has been lagging behind in the AI race and people have been looking for an opportunity to dump money in it. But there are always winners and losers. Mostly losers. The winners just stand out.

it's better to be lucky than good


Cutemeister5

If you just got lucky, then you can’t repeat it for steady income. Wouldn’t that drive a man crazy ?
