These days, I've been seeing a lot of memes and celebrities shouting buy signals, it's quite lively. Veteran traders advise newcomers not to take the final step, which is actually quite correct. To put it simply, the market's attention rotation is so fast that you simply don't have time to react. By the way, it made me think of options: the biggest fear for buyers isn't being wrong about the direction, but being "too slow to react," as time value erodes daily. Even if the market doesn't move, you're still losing; sellers seem like collecting rent, as time value helps eat away at the buyer, but in reality, you're selling tail risk. Usually, you make small profits, but occasionally a big spike can wipe out all the gains you've made before. For someone like me who works a day job, the stability of being a seller is tempting, but the thought of having to constantly monitor the market for black swan events... forget it.
