it's rigged because it doesn't go in your favor.
did you say it's rigged when you first made money on META calls in the first post? you were playing in the same system, same software, same money, so why is it rigged this time, but not that time?
first, learn the system
second, understand the system
then come back and say again if it's rigged once you understand it and make money both ways.
2000cs is right, options is a derivative, there is a math behind it. the premium he is talking about is what i mentioned earlier, the IV. The higher the IV, the more premium you pay. that's why when you look at the stable stocks like apple, google, their IV is in high 20s to low 30s, then watch IV for GME, AMC, it's in 100+%, tesla is in 60+%
just stick with buying stocks if you don't understand it, plain and simple
or if you want to make money in stock market, be like Elon Musk, invent something, work it, and sell your share and let these 'rigged' investors drive up the share value.
elon is rich because of these rigged investors, right?
