If $100 is the most you'll risk on a flyer then you're effectively walking into a Casino and putting it all down on 0 at the roulette table for "shits and giggles".Any traction/talk of this on wallstreetbets?

My truly serious ones are US Treasury Bonds with maturity dates spread out over the next 30 years. If those go bad we're all taking it "right in the down under" in unpleasant ways a prostitute wouldn't say "yes" to for any amount of money.My serious investments were in airline during the middle of the slump, and in tech and manufacturing NOT located in China. The only reason I'm not doing better than I am is because I wasn't expecting that near fifteen dollar plummet that United had a couple months ago.
Like anything involving money, I take it with a grain of salt because they're getting paid and don't always have your best interests in mind.How do y'all feel about the Motley Fool?
When I read it what's publically available boiled down to generalities that you could've gotten at any other place as well. Generally I find the analyses at Seeking Alpha to be a lot more convincing and detailed, though I admittedly don't use them for a lack of spare cash to invest.How do y'all feel about the Motley Fool?
Eh, no.This year? Oil.
Yeah, bought in at Jan cashed out last month ago like a paper handed punk. Meh. To clarify thats why I meant I did this year. Not much of course just a few stocks overall but I've never likes stock trading overall.Eh, no.
Last year right when the price crashed and hit the floor? Sure.
This year well after the price has already rebounded back to somewhat normal? Not a chance in hell.

So, put on Tesla this Monday after Elon's latest shenanigans?
True, for the average investor it's basically like throwing mud against a wall and betting which blotch ends up sticking.Unless you have a good grasp of statistics and how hedging works, you should not use options.
Nah, was just saying what worked out this year. Didn't invest much though so not really that great a payout. But really who didn't see the oil stuff coming?I thought you were offering a suggestion.
Trying to time the market is a foolish game. Unless it's something so drastic no one saw it coming the professionals have already taken the outsized returns.
Calls and Puts are dumb and this year proved it. Really not worth the risk unless a stock is known to be over or under valued.So, put on Tesla this Monday after Elon's latest shenanigans?
With the money that really matters it's US Treasuries with maturity dates spread out evenly over the course of the next 30 years.So, with the past few months having wiped out the past few years of recovery, what were your actions in this troubled time? Hold? Double Down? Withdraw to a better position?

For the other stuff I'll ask my teenage daughters for their opinion before I make a decision. If one of them thinks it's a bad idea they're probably right.
We don't buy those.TIPS?
