There are lots of rock/metal drummers. None of them will ever make as much as Lars Ulrich despite their talent.  


Consistent small wins and losses should be the goal. A thirty bagger is just not in the cards for most people.

And real money can be made that way. 

Imho, the goal of everyone on here should be to accumulate enough money to acquire 100 share lots in indexes, whether VTI, or the QQQ or something relatively broad based, or alternatively in real companies that are profitable, not super risky or volatile stocks, SPACs, etc.

Then, simply sell premium, and collect your shekels

Sell weekly, sell monthly, whatever makes sense for you, but take profit quickly. 

if you focused your cash in this respect, you can seriously generate real amounts of money in premium

It’s just a much more steady and reliable means of generating cash 

 And that’s not to say you can’t have speculative shit too, or occasionally buy options (though I’d stick to either LEAPs, or paired options strategies with minimal credit). 

It took me awhile to learn this, truly did. 

I had too much cash spread out in too much shit such that I couldn’t sell a lot of options. 

I’ve found that as long as you set buy to close orders at certain %, and are diligent about doing it, you’ll find consistent success 

I suggest people be patient and not look for trades that aren’t there, and likewise let winning trades run, but all in the mind of obtaining a reasonable goal.

For example, I started with the idea of generating $100 in profit per week, then $150, etc., and now I find that meeting that sort of goal is very manageable

The market has been forgiving in this respect for certain
