How do we have so much opportunity? But on the other hand, it feels like we're facing a financial literacy crisis.

Yeah, I think it's a huge problem, and I think more people need to talk about it.

But I don't know the exact reason.

What came to mind as you're asking that question is I think we live in such a society of this instant gratification.

If you're going to check out on an online store and you're buying an $80 shirt and it's offering you to split it up into four payments – you know like it's just a weird yeah it's just a weird time that we're living in where like people need it now that they're willing to pay a little bit of interest on a t-shirt or whatever like it it's just uh it's it's a little bit of a weird time and whether whether it's social media or just social pressure whatever it is that's built a little bit more of that i think um people are just more likely to rush in to that.

This trip looks fun.

What life lessons have you learned or any of your top students from trading about life and how to just operate a more abundant way of being?

with like gambling like there's just thinking like okay you know hopefully it goes up doesn't go down like uh it's gonna 50 50 coin flip type thing but like some people think it's it's more about like placing a bet and then hoping it actually like works well and i'd love to kind of understand like what's actually the difference between how a i guess like a more disciplined trader approaches risk versus someone who's it's more like gambling like the market yeah no way

That's one of the things like we've been trying to preach at Traders Edge Network because there is that misconception out there that, oh, options are really risky.

And if you were just buying like a call option, which it's kind of like buying the stock, you want the stock to go up.

if you just buy that call option, you can see some explosive returns, but there is because these option contracts have a shelf life.

They expire.

And as you get closer to expiration, the value of these options will drop off.

So there's a chunk of people who buy an option and they lose 100% of the investment.

I mean, you're still here, so...
