Is Roaring Kitty a Good Role Model? | Rational Reminder 311

Meet with PWL Capital: https://calendly.com/d/cpws-jyp-znp

When witnessing the dramatic payouts of miracle trades, it's easy to be lured into thinking that
your big score is just a few trades away. But as is evident in trading options for retail investors,
it is neither quick, simple, nor easy to make guaranteed returns on your investments. In today's
episode, Ben and Cam walk us through the many reasons why trading options is a losers’
game; especially for retail investors. Trading options is definitely today's hot topic and we
unpack how the recent resurfacing of Roaring Kitty affirms how life-changing payouts are the
exception rather than the rule. We dive deeper into trading options and their uses, the trading
demographics of the current market, why trading options are an expensive choice for retail
investors, and why people still choose to trade even when doing so at a loss. To end, Ben and
Cam highlight the dangers of being a copycat and how social media adds fuel to the fire and
we hear some heartwarming Rational Reminder Podcast reviews from a few of our dedicated
listeners.
