buying and holding common stock - Drinking occaisionally

shorting common stock - dabbling in a little pot

trading options - mainlining HEROIN with tatooed people you don’t know in the scary, beat-up house in the bad section of town

Oh it’s ALL THE SAME, huh....?

NOT IN A MILLION YEARS.

Leverage the house and the milk money then sell naked calls.

That’s, “investing” 101. /S

Unless one is an expert himself, it's almost like walking into a casino...I tell folks visiting the Biloxi area for vacations to decide up front how much they are willing to lose, walk into a casino and write them a check for that amount and then go out and have a actual vacation....

Being retired, we can't afford another big loss so we put all our stuff i to guaranteed things where if the market tanks, we won't lose anything and if it does well, we get a bonus on top of the guaranteed amount...not most efficient way to manage it but will ensure we never have to eat Alpo...
