Inside the Reddit army that's crushing Wall Street
https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/29/investing/wallstreetbets-reddit-culture
Omar couldn't believe what was happening.
He should have been concentrating on the student he was tutoring in
physics — a job he did during his free time while enrolled in a
post-baccalaureate pre-med program — but Omar's eyes kept darting back
to the Robinhood app open on his phone.
Omar had invested $6,000 in Beyond Meat options; in the days before that
tutoring session he'd seen the value of that investment rocket up to
almost $15,000. What he was witnessing now, though, felt like torture.
Down $2,000.
Down $3,000.
By lunchtime, the stock options Omar had bought were down around $7,000
from their peak.
Omar knew he should probably sell the options before they became
worthless. But he followed the mantra of the place where he'd first
learned about options trading, the subreddit r/wallstreetbets, and held on.
"It was diamond hands," said Omar, using the site's term for holding an
option even after incurring extreme losses or gains. "It was like, all
or nothing."
Within two days Omar had lost not only his gains but his entire initial
investment.
Desperate to earn it back, Omar, 23 years old and the child of
working-class immigrant parents, took the rest of the money he could
scrounge up — cash from his tutoring gig, his stimulus check, a chunk of
his freshly-deposited student loans that was supposed to pay for his
living expenses (which were basically non-existent after he had moved
home during the Covid-19 outbreak) — and poured all of it, $22,000, into
his Robinhood account. Then he opened up WallStreetBets.
"I was really scared," Omar told CNN Business in an interview in
August. "All I wanted to do was just make my initial money back and pay
it off."
By the end of the week, he had lost it all again.
Omar, who spoke on the condition that he be referred to using a
pseudonym out of concern over the legality of trading with money from
his student loans, said that he blames himself for his losses but
regrets ever stumbling upon one of Reddit's most active communities.
"I would not have traded options," Omar admitted, "if I had not found
WallStreetBets."
This January, with WallStreetBets now an inescapable presence, Omar was
back on the board. Back to trading.
