One thing I read about options is that it is a zero sum game that you play against other players. Whenever you buy an option, there is someone else on the other side that is selling you that option. If you win, he loses, and vice-versa.
It also matters a lot what kind of deal you can make, so you have to be able to recognize good deals and bad deals. Chances are, the guys you are up against when trading options are sharks who are very good at assessing good and bad deals.
I think it’s probably OK to dabble with options, but I’d be careful to limit your exposure to something you’re comfortable with losing completely.

Sold covered calls against GME. Dec 18 calls returns 12% over 20 days.
Bought more NKLA puts. Shorted some premarket on GM news.
Shorted more FCEL on the open.
Sold all KCAC ( now converted to QS) on open. May re buy in the 30s but it went too far too soon

https://photos.app.goo.gl/SrZhY3k55jtckzzC9 This is what I was talking about. I've been holding onto this for a while for no really great reason other than I think it has potential and I was able to make some money as it bounced around over the last year or so. I still have a few hundred shares after buying and selling this one for a while now so today was a good day. Anyway... this increase and one of the others along the bottom happened around that industry today so I finally made a few bucks on lithium.

They may have a few semi-talented over paid engineers too. But, I think they are going to have a lot of work to do, along with spending a ton of dough they don't have to produce an actual electric vehicle that works.
Was talking with a supplier who has been to their AZ facility. Says it's a pretty cool place, but more style than substance. Easier to con the rubes into investing, I guess."We don't beat the reaper by living longer, we beat the reaper by living well and living fully." - Randy Pausch

FCEL proposing a ATM offering with 15% dilution, warned on revenues and is down 15% afterhours. Shorted more. Looks like short calls will expire worthless on them too.
WKHS down 22% afterhours on news that USPS vehicle contract delayed again. Also shorted more. Ditto re short calls.

Saw that happen when they announced, watched it fall and seemed to stabilize around the 7.50ish. If it drops below 6.50 tomorrow I’m gonna take my cash out of it and see what happens.
Grabbed 100 shares of GE yesterday at the lowest part of the day, usually I overpay but I felt pretty good on that one. Got in at 10.01.
Got hit on XOM yesterday, I’m used to having 100 shares of things, having 300 amplifies movements. Clawed back a little today, although I’m mentally ready for another dip as oil inventories are building up again.

I still have $750 of my latest deposit not in the market. Been looking around at things to put it in. Figured I'd join some Facebook groups to see if I could find any ideas there. Joined a Robinhood group, now I'll admit I'm still pretty clueless about this stuff, but holy hell! What a bunch of fucking morons! It's like the episode of friends where Monica decided to delve into stock trading. People making trades off of ticker symbols, people making options trades and putting up screenshots of them wondering what they'd just did.
Nice pop on oil today, made back almost all of my losses on XOM and now solidly in the green on CLB.

A bit Polyass, but this dude trades like a day trader.

According to the New York Times, Perdue’s trades have accounted for almost a third of all Senate trades over the past six years. Notably, as a member of the Senate’s subcommittee on cybersecurity, he bought and sold shares of FireEye a malware-detection company, dozens of times.
Almost half of Perdue’s 61 total FireEye trades were executed while he was in a position that could have potentially provided him with relevant nonpublic information, the Times reported.
But it doesn’t end there. In fact, Perdue has a long history of apparently prescient stock trades that have been called into question.
Data compiled by Senate Stock Watcher shows that Perdue made 2,596 trades over his six-year term, which just about equals the combined trading volume of the next five most active traders in the Senate. On some days, Perdue would execute more than 20 trades in a single session.
Perdue also raised eyebrows last week when it was revealed that, as word spread through Congress on Jan. 23 that the coronavirus posed a major threat, he sold off $1 million to $5 million in Cardlytics shares Soon after, shares of the Atlanta-based data-analytics company, whose platform connects marketers with banking and credit-card clients, plunged."We don't beat the reaper by living longer, we beat the reaper by living well and living fully." - Randy Pausch
