Is Options Trading Gambling?? 🤔🎲
31 segments
What's the difference between what
you're doing in gambling? Cuz when it
comes to options, you could be right
about the stock and just a little off on
the timing, and that means you're wrong
overall.
>> I I hate the gambling analogy because
gambling means so many things to so many
different people. Again, it all starts
with what your objectives are and what
your risk tolerance is. And on top of
that, you have to understand that I do
excessive amounts of probability
analysis. So, I essentially run through
every theoretical scenario on that trade
that could happen that I'm aware of. I
look through every scenario, good and
bad. I make an assessment on how likely
each scenario is to play out based on
actual research. In this case, over 100
hours of deep research [music] in
Amazon. You're playing probabilities.
So, I guess theoretically, everything in
life is a gamble if you want to look at
it like that. I mean, walking outside
your door is a gamble because there's a
theoretical possibility you could trip
and die, right? That's why I hate the
analogy. It's not like investing versus
gambling. It's like, do you understand
the risk you're taking?
