- downerending 7y agoIt's not appropriate unless you're a multi-millionaire, and it's not that easy to transform yourself into one.
- SilasX 7y agoYou don't need to be a multi-millionare to make money on options, I just recently cited someone who put a small amount (relative to a multi-millionare) to disproportionately profit from the market declines that weren't priced in. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22526246 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22526246
