Inspirational story of an option trader

Like I said his volatility-favoured strategy worked out well for him because the meme stock phenomenon generated huge amount of volatility but his strategy wouldn't pare so well in quiet and steady markets like the ones that we had before the pandemic. That's why he was having large drawdowns before. Every strategy has its place and time in the market. At the end of the day, it's not how much you make that matters but how much you keep. The real inspirational traders are the ones who can make the money and are still able to keep the money made when the market tries to claw them back.

I might not be able to make as much as him but if I can keep everything or the majority of what I make I can still come out on top.

now that he’s got it, hopefully he can parlay it into a greater investment.

The markets are all about exploiting opportunity. I think you will find most traders make most of their money in a few moments.
 
Massive leverage and luck can be, well, both a blessing and a curse.

In the last two years, we saw a massive bull market and I doubt any long-term bulls got hurt since a rising tide lifts all boats. Just sitting on your ass long enough would have made you money. So I would say that dude was mostly lucky than otherwise. Now let's see if he's able to replicate the same success in this bear market.
 
doesnt have to if you made $2 million....

$2 million is not that much money. That can easily be gone in less than a year. Bragging about that kind of win in the market or a casino...is a silly, nonsense, whimsical, cute story.

He needs to do that over and over again. Grow, and compound, that to say...20 million. I personally wouldn't, necessarily, hold my breath for that. Morph from a house cat ....to a big cat. Instead of being a truck carrying fireworks...be a nuclear missile.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised....if that guy randomly popped up across social media sites in the near future....talking about trading the market, and selling courses and subscriptions and merch and advertising revenue video content and what not and search engine ads.

All those guys are of the same type of breed...of being money hungry, power hungry, fame hungry, and ego hungry.
Before you know it...he has bought a cheesy, cliche, stereotypical Lamborghini.
Lamborghini...is the iconic status symbol of Social Media success.
Mark my words,

Humans...can be such....humans,

Probably but he still made his money being ballsy and going after it. If what he did was so easy to do from all the hindsight traders here, they would also all be sitting on $2 million.

Remember having the balls to do it is what 95% of traders lack.

It's dangerous to talk about balls. Like that.

It gives people the incentive, push, bravado...to do very bold, foolish, things and decisions just to appease people like you and society. Risky behavior, usually tends to lead to risky outcomes arising.

Success is not about....balls, per se. Balls is only 15% or 10 or 5%, I'd personally say. The rest is wisdom, experience, knowledge, and observation, and patience and mastery and calmness.

I still call that guy, and this story, a one-off, rare, anomaly. Not the genuine article.
That clown will turn into a cheesy Lamborghini-driving MF'er.
