      Yes, but box spreads for European options are priced accordingly.
      Those options combined create a return that's basically equivalent to holding AAA US Treasury bonds, i.e. "risk-free", so there's no difference between just buying the treasury bond or creating a box spread.

      @@Applz101 After world war 1, Germany was punished by being made to owe lots of money to the countries they lost to. The amount they had to pay was unreasonable and they couldn't handle it, so they started printing money to pay it back. This resulted in hyperinflation, where the price of goods rises really rapidly because there's just more money around. There are famous pictures of people bringing wheelbarrows of money to buy bread. People generally think this is when the nazi party became popular, but it wasn't. They became popular a few years later during a period of deflation - where prices of stuff were falling slightly. The reason is that deflation can cause unemployment - companies aren't making enough money because of the lower prices so they fire workers, those workers spend less money so other companies make less money so they fire workers etc. . [So people were unemployed and therefore were unhappy and were willing to support anyone giving the promise of positive change.][see edit]
      Hyperinflation is obviously and visibly bad, but deflation is bad in a more sneaky way.
      Edit: it actually wasn't primarily the unemployed people who voted for the Nazis, most of them voted for the communists, but it was the small business owners and some professionals who were still making money but just not as much as before. Many Nazi votes were anti-communist votes because the Nazis were taking the hardest stance (most violent) on the communists. Communism would mean property owners losing their property to their employees and high earning workers no longer being high earners, along with a general instability that comes along with any radical reorganizing of a society.

But because there is no casino there is no reason to crackdown if you are winning too much. Though you pay the Casino (Market) someway else. For example in this case stock market still up, economy might go boom.
      Also the extra steps means not only learning math but also politics, history, engineering, international relations , law and many more while gambling is just math.

      Most of the people in this video aren't just investing in stocks though. They are trading stock options, which is way riskier.

      @@DeathnoteBB No, not at all. Whenever you sell, someone else bought it. And whenever you buy, someone else sold it to you. The prices don't result from supply and demand because there is neither a constant supply, nor a demand.
      Stocks are a portion of a company and traders are constantly trying to come up with a "fair evaluation" of the company. If you think you are "selling high", someone else thought there's more potential in that company. He bought it for the cheapest price he could get it for right now, expecting it to go even higher.

      Yeah, if I would ever invest in stocks I would have done it like I did with my Bitcoins: Only invest as much as you can afford to lose.

      If it weren't for those people, then there wouldn't be those making money on the stock market. Somebody has to lose for somebody else to win.

    Honestly, r/wallstreetbets is basically like fantasy football forums, only the stakes are the entire life savings of people. It's so dumb.
