Believing this is how you end up making decisions based on what you see in wsb.

Let's stop pretending like *anyone* here has any idea what they're doing. If you're trading options, without the goal of hedging, you *are* gambling.

You can draw a hundred little doodles on the chart and call it "anal-sis" or whatever, it means nothing in reality. All those pretty patterns can be reproduced with a random noise generator. Unless you can produce a statistical test to validate those hallucinations, you have nothing.

If you are trading based on fundamentals, you are kind of late than the big players, and the really sharp medium-sized investment firms/geniuses - but hopefully not too late. But that play is over months, if not *years*, and LEAPS are a dumb way to take insane risk for meager payout (again, unless your goal is hedging). For long-term, buy and hold is all one has. Shorting is too dangerous unless you have the privileged/insider information - which again, most of you won't.

People who think staring at a chart gives them the "information" on market dynamics are worse than gamblers - the ignorant gambler denying their identity.
