    YOLO = You Only Live Once
    WSB = WallStreetBets, a reddit community that encourages risky trading. and "YOLOing" your life savings for the hopes of hitting a jackpot on a short-dated option.

    YOLO stands for "You Only Live Once"
    WSB strands for WallStreetBets...it is a basically a forum dedicated to high risk options plays...and least it was traditionally.

    Have you been trading with such a huge sum of money?
    Is this your normal trading size?

    Sorry to see that, but you just donated around $90k to MMs. Try to get out while you can. Today is expiration day, I believe those options will open another 30-40% lower than yesterday closing. Overnight time counts also if the underlying doesn't move.

    Did wsb typed correctly?

    Did they get confused with
    + and -
    Buy and sell
    Call and put?

    Just love the Wallstreet Bets touts, they give me a laugh. Shorted RKT for a couple of days and made good monies. Got out of our AMC calls and shares yesterday at very good profits too. My only mistake is not entering GME when it was $44.00. I thought about entering then but, I had 3 other trades I put on that same time so, opted to pass on it. Nothing better than trading against retail traders who have no clue whatsoever. These guys are losing their shirts and all their monies and not having a clue what is happening.
