Slightly more interesting in my opinion If you were willing to risk $2,100 on a "buy-to-open" long 2-days-to-expiration (2023-02-23 expirations bought 2023-02-01 right before close) 3.5% out of the money call ($700 strike), you would've had a 300% return today. How many people (hundreds? thousands? millions?) tried to guess the right combination of earnings up/down (long/short, call/put) risking money they might not necessarily should be, high premium / theta decay / implied volatility crush be damned? I'm not saying the stock market is "as much like a casino as it has ever been" but... like... at 50-50 coin flip... it is better odds than a casino? lol I guess roulette red/black.
