If it was easy, everyone would do it. This isn’t investing, it’s gambling. I feel sorry for these people. Yes some people win big (we hear more about them) and some people lose big. Most people can’t beat the market. Basic tenets of building wealth through saving and investing haven’t changed. Only bet what you’re willing to lose. Riskier stocks are 10, max 20% of my long term holdings. I’ve been an active investor for 10+ years and I still don’t actively day trade or buy calls/puts.
