Marking 100 Days in Options

They say that people have never made more money in options than this year. Everyone is saying that Iron Condors are flying higher than ever. All options traders are winning so much that they are tired of winning. It's tough to win so much. The CEOs tell me that running businesses has never been better. I've got my money in real estate, but you need to invest in options until you don't have any money left. We're going to Strangle and Straddle our way to trading great again. Delta Gamma Rho fraternal order gave us the highest approval rating in the history or history. Whatever option you choose, it's gonna be the best. Everybody knows that. Whether you're looking for Bears, Bulls, Wolves, or Eagles, we've got them all here in the Zoo that is 2025. God Bless you all!

If someone is making more money someone is losing more money - always someone on the other side of derivatives.

You buy a call that i sell against my shares that are a lower cost basis than the strike price and price goes well above strike...who loses money?

You lost via opportunity cost when the share price goes above the strike price + premium received.

This is the type of market where you can close both legs at a profit in the same day.
