The True Cost of Cheap Alternatives

Описание: In this episode of Fumbled Wisdom, we expose the #1 reason new traders go broke: Theta Decay.

Most beginners treat options like lottery tickets. They buy cheap, weekly contracts thinking they are "low risk" because they only cost $50. But in reality, these options are ticking time bombs. Even if you pick the right stock direction, the clock is working against you.

I break down complex "Greeks" into simple realities using the "Melting Ice Cube" and "Daily Rent" analogies. You will learn exactly how the market eats your profits and how to stop being the tenant paying rent—and start thinking like the Landlord.

👇 What You Will Learn in This Video:

The Trap: Why being "Right" on the stock isn't enough to make a profit.

Theta Decay: The invisible force that burns your money every single day.

The Danger Zone: Why the last 30 days before expiration are a casino, not an investment.

The Solution: How to "Buy Time" to save your portfolio.
