  1. I took a deep dive into options trading a few years back. To be clear, I am a long-term, low-cost, index fund investor, but felt that I had the income to maybe dip my toes into options trading. I wasn't going to just jump in, I wanted to learn it and practice it before making my first actual trade. I used Think or Swim's trading simulator for about 2 years, read books, watched YT videos and kept practicing. At the end of those 2 years I concluded that it wasn't for me. I did not beat the market. I did not even keep pace with the market. It's a fool's errand. The .05% of the investors that win at options is not going to be YOU. These financial talking heads, and other posters on social media will make you believe that, but you are not special. I can see options trading ruining a lot of people's futures, especially people prone to addictive behavior.
