Retail investor: This guy on X turned $2k into $80k in a month. I'm following his trades now.


Me: How many of his losing months did he post?
Retail investor: ...I've only ever seen the wins.
Me: Exactly. For every screenshot, there's a graveyard of blown accounts nobody posts. You're seeing the highlight reel...
Retail investor: So the feed is just survivorship bias?
Me: yes... if his strategy really printed like that he would compound $80k to billionaire status in a few years. It doesn't happen.
Retail investor: So what actually works?
Me: The boring stuff nobody screenshots. Great companies bought cheap. 1+ year portfolio secured puts & LEAP calls on the best setups.
Don't build your strategy off someone's highlight reel...
