This week the Wall Street Journal ran an article about some topics near and dear to my heart. Options trading and how the rise of zero day to expiry options (0DTE) are fueling more and more gambling in the stock market. The article is behind a paywall, but for a quick overview, options originally started as something that traded quarterly. They have various uses but they are essentially used to provide more leverage when trading a product. Instead of buying shares in a company or the stock market in general, you can buy calls, if you want to bet against the company/market, you can buy puts. If you want to read more about options, as always, there is a blog for that.
