It seems like it is highly disadvantaged when compared to other assets as:
-It is aggressively taxed compared to other investments (28% v. 20%)
-It has little intrinsic value unlike real estate or stock on companies
-It is usually bought at a premium, and sold at a discount in terms of physical gold
-Not spectacular constant returns
So, why is it such a popular investment?

Hi everyone,
I recently took a $1,750 loss on a SPY call option and wanted to share what went wrong and what I learned.
What Happened:
I entered when SPY was trending up but didn’t notice it was a same-day expiration. I hoped for a bounce, but as the broader market turned red, my position quickly lost value due to time decay.
What I Learned:
Avoid same-day expirations unless scalping.
Set a strict stop-loss to limit losses.
Pay attention to broader market trends and signals.
This loss taught me ...

I had never heard of BYD before reading this article so thank you for that 😊
Thank you. I find it useful to revisit these topics from time to time because as I continue to practice trading my understanding deepens and I get more out of them. For example, when looking at charts I started to notice horizontal grey bars of varying depths and wondered what they were. Then I realized they were areas where the stock was gapping up (or down). Some stock charts had many gaps whereas others had none. Thus, now I understand a bit better and have more focused attention rather than ...

I have had good experiences selling put options for Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) and have just started with QUBT and RGTI. I will keep watch to see if they are also reliable. Thank you for grouping them into the Quantum Computing sector/industry. That makes it easier to determine what's working and what isn't, out of the multitude of possible stock choices.
