easily possible.  I had options that expired a few weeks ago (figures I missed out by just a few weeks) they would have been worth hundreds of thousands, maybe even half a million, if I had an expiration date further out.

I read today that the regulars at WSB call themselves "degenerates."

Good luck to you.  I hear gambling is a good way to make money.

I'll let you know how it works out!

I put a little bit into the account. Some of what I won on football this year. It sure is gambling because I wouldn't ever use money other than what I have earmarked for fun stuff. If this runs up? Great. If not? Oh well.

Some years ago I had a friend who was a regular in Vegas and he would deduct his loses on his income taxes. Now I think you can even include travel expenses and such up to your gains. It would be fun if they extended the definition to this kind of speculative investing.

this would normally be terrible advice but I have gambled you with in person so don't buy the stocks, take a few days and read up on options, when you hit you hit nice but they're risky.

start with just buying straight calls and puts and once you get into it you can start going into more complicated spreads and shtein.

RobinHood is not letting people buy shares of all the stocks people have been hyping up as overly shorted.

Just such blatant "we can do this not you" shtein

The Robinhood thing has people pissssssed and rightfully so. Whomever made the call to not allow retail investors is wrong. That's market manipulation.

I think some other services are doing it too.

I haven't bought in just yet and it's dropped like a rock. They're allowing the hedge fund people to save face.
