I decided to test some bad TikTok investment strategies. The results were about what you'd expect.

    I'm studying finance right now (graduating in a month with my masters) and it's so refreshing to hear someone call people on this bullshit. Banks spend billions of dollars a year trying to achieve the kind of gains that TikTok gurus claim they can earn reliably with no risk. If it was possible, the people with vastly more resources than us would be doing it.

    @@beamed5382 Not sure if this is the proper forum for a deep dive but I don't necessarily disagree with you. Some institutions are knowingly misrepresenting their risk level to make their returns look like they're outperforming (when they may actually be underperforming). In other words, improperly quantifying risk doesn't necessarily mean the risk is impossible to quantify. That said, there have been a lot of criticisms over the years about whether standard deviation is actually a good proxy for risk. Personally I think it has its place but that it's insufficient on its own. In any case, I hope I properly clarified my point which is that there's no escaping risk, and certainly you don't get return for being riskless. Even the so-called risk-free rate isn't riskless because while it (might) be free of default risk, there are other kinds you need to contend with. TikTokers have a specific financial benefit to representing their strategy as riskless (namely, that they sell courses based around the idea), so they're going to lie through their teeth about it. In the end, if multi-billion dollar financial institutions are attracting top talent and not achieving those returns, maybe there's a reason...

    I never saw it coming. My younger brother went to one of those "free" options seminars in about 1998. (i.e. between "Tom Vu" seminar era and the new "peach bum" tech geniuses). He got hooked on "technical" charts , etc. Then he scammed almost 2 million US in family legacy money (almost all of it) and went to options. Lost it all. Family money, not his to lose. He's still full of excuses, like most narcissists. It never ends. I never saw it in his behavior until dad started "slipping" and became vulnerable. Dad never asked for help. This got him bad. I had the letter from him asking fo rthe money back. It's GONE. There a lot of fall out for this: college funds gone, family affected, future plans dashed.

    Well I wouldn’t say luck but probability with risk management. This is the whole reason you make money. Just look at your winrate and risk to reward ratio. If I say: lets do a coin flip, if heads I get 10 dollars, if tails You get 10 dollars. You wouldn’t take this deal right? Its 50% winrate with a 1 R/R. But now if heads I get 10 dollars but if Tails You get 15 dollars. You would take this deal right? Its 50% winratio with a 1.5 R/R. So if you make 100 coin flips, the winrate stays roughly the same, so 50% but R/R is 1.5, so eventually you make money (in this case 250 dollars). I hope I made it clear that everything is about probability. If you found a trading strategy with the right balance of Risk to Reward and winratio, you will make money.

I know this is just a meme, but anyways, the likeliest thing to eventually happen with that sort of strategy is that you end up with an average entry way above the bottom, and it stays that way for a prolonged period of time. By the time an accumulation hits and finishes, you might’ve spent years with money locked underwater if you never cut your losses. Worse, consistently more money invested in bad trades than good ones. Opportunity cost is awful, even if it were to produce okay results most of the time

    @@Erideah see if you don’t do fundamental analysis you’re right. If you analyse your portfolio, follow up on QE reports and what is going on around the company, that is very unlikely. The thing is, the only times good companies stocks go down and stay down is in a recession, if not the company and it’s officials would buy up the underpriced stock (if they are smart). It’s a rare occurrance to get a company at a heavy discount especially a large one like the ones you see in the DJIA. That was more what my comment was aimed towards but you can for sure apply it to different stocks aswell given you have the knowledge. An example of this is we bought 2000 shares of a company before corona that we knew were fundamentally good and would be for a long while. Cost was around $20.000, corona hit and price tanked 50%, and now, it has quadroupled in price from the all time low and our position is up 100%. What we should have done if we were confident it would return to normal is to buy more shares at the lows, as the company still fundamentally was the same as they transport LNG and that’s fuel/energy transport which was still moving during COVID when other industries were struggling. Either way we didn’t do it, we kind of bought it and forgot about it because of all the other stuff going on, but at the end of the day the stock price is around $22 now and we are looking to sell it around 25-26, so things are looking good. Moral of the story: buy when there’s blood in the streets and the world is falling apart, sell when we are living in paradise and everything is well.

True, it is form of options, but way more complicated. Also bunch of academic things can be included that has more to do with either economics, math, stats, accounting and all of that combined, but that is more theoretical and I never used that in trading. Let me put it this way, having spent 7 years getting math and finance degrees have prepared me a bit, another year of experience in the field have helped enough for me to say that options are the field i am comfortable with.
