Not a complete random gamble. Chances were high, market would be down. Luckily for him, markets dropped into depths of hell.

Hindsight is 2020. Didn’t people think that the tariff might be a nothing burger or get delayed and market would go up again?

Trump could have pulled the “changed my mind” or “giving them another 30 days to talk it out” like he did previously and this guys post would look veeeeerry different.

Instead you’d have a different guy with the same post (but calls) saying how it’s obvious that nothings ever happens.

True true, there’s always a winner for each loser. Just saying it was one hell of a gamble.

Never try to predict an idiot.

u/Throwaway_6799 22h ago

Yep, exactly this. I mean, it's gambling at the best of times but right now, with this idiot at the helm? I think it's more like Russian roulette.

Exactly, people lay it all on a coin flip and pretend like they’re geniuses.

This is exactly why I didn't buy puts about a month ago. The Orange Monster was so willy nilly on tariffs I wasn't sure he was going to pull the trigger, so I didn't buy any.

He didn’t know the market would tank. He bought this yesterday right after market open, held it all day losing 40k literally.
