You make it sound like they’re the only participants in the world. There are thousands of variations of them floating around, who wouldn’t bother wasting their time interviewing. Nothing to be gained from it.
I'm pretty sure I'm better at driving as an amateur driver than the vast majority of "professional" cab drivers!
You really have little clue which side Buffett make the bucks? He sells the options first then waits, and eventually buys the stock as a hedge and added profit. His name alone will be leaked and others buy into the dream.. He personally owns over 100 businesses. He buys stock based on American attitude of buying the product's of that company, but he does very well in options.
This appears to be a very good "lottery", considering that there are fourteen millions of winners, as for the dates in 2017 https://www.thestreet.com/video/143...sn-t-just-for-big-players-cme-group-says.html Since CME took to its current way, with futures and Globex, every amateur has a fair chance, often even better then Ivy's streeters; being free of snobbery, super-Ego, hyper pretest.
I don’t think it’s a rigged game at all. It’s more level now than ever. You just have to be much smarter than yesterday’s screen monkeys and pit traders.
any amateur has a chance of winning if he/she is clever enough to step back and look at exactly what is going on for example..just step back and look at all the silly and ridiculous threads that are on ET..no wonder amateurs are confused..and then wonder why they lose when they run off and do something silly just because someone posted something on a website..it can't get any more ridiculous that that! a good start is to delve into the history of the financial markets..same as any subject which one wants to learn about!
