It’s also very easy to think you’ve found easy money. When I first heard about options, I was super excited about how I could make money if a stock went up or down. It was less obvious that you can lose 100% of your money if the stock fails to move much at all. Thankfully I did my homework and didn’t get too wrapped up in option trading.
How can you be outsmarting people when you're just taking public advice from random people on the Internet?
Unless you're the guy posting the "hot tips" that you just happened to buy a bunch of shares in a few minutes ago hoping that the sheep will push up the price for a moment.
Albeit, it's incredibly entertaining - however anyone who things any of it is "real information" who doesn't have pre-existing professional experience is a moron. Unless you're already a professional I highly doubt anyone can cut through the noise to signal ratio.
