>That's a bad example. By many measures retail investors have outperformed institutional investors since March. The average retail investor might have outperformed institutional investors, but it's a leap to suggest that wsb outperformed institutional investors. Foe one, the average retail investor isn't buying otm options like wsb users are. > The simple reason is that options have a built in exit strategy, the thing that's missing when most people lose in scams - including Ponzi schemes! Not really? Options can have their value go to zero if they remain unexercised, just like if a ponzi scheme goes bust. |

true. but as a person who plays with options, I should point out that when you buy an option contract, you don't want it to expire worthless.
However if you are an options seller, that is the best possible outcome.
