00:00now if you've been a casual lurker of
00:01wall street bets for the last few years
00:03like i have then you know that it
00:05started off as a bunch of degenerate
00:07gamblers then the community changed to
00:09being the saviors of the internet by
00:11investing in gamestop stock and making
00:13hedge fund managers cry and then they
00:15changed to being taken over by a bunch
00:16of rogue mods and then they settled back
00:18to their rightful place of being a pack
00:20of shitlord apes i care
00:26but during that whole period there were
00:32that either blew up in their face or
00:34sometimes just blew up
00:36now some of these investments got more
00:39press than others but in today's video
00:40i'm going to be covering some of the
00:42well-known ones and also some that you
00:44might not know about we're going to be
00:46going over the best and the worst of
00:48wall street bets so sit back relax
00:51gently tap that like button and let's
00:54jump into it first one on the list is
00:56going to be hate my darn job this one
00:58was last year and he posted a loss of 45
01:01000 with the title can anyone guess when
01:04i discovered options trading now you're
01:06probably gonna notice a common theme
01:08here most of the people who lose a ton
01:10of money do it with options as well as
01:13using margin now to be fair there are
01:15ways of option trading that actually
01:17reduce your risk it's just that none of
01:19these degenerates use those ways and
01:21basic options trading is almost like a
01:23gateway drug to much worse types of
01:26trading now the losses on this one
01:28aren't astronomical by any means but i
01:30decided to put it at the beginning just
01:32because of the fact that it's going to
01:33be a common theme throughout this video
01:35so with this one i'll go ahead and put
01:37it into c tier next one on the list is
01:40going to be the md1 or thesm d1 now this
01:45one was all the way back in 2019 so this
01:47is an og degenerate we're talking about
01:49here now this person day traded amd
01:51stock for over a year and i couldn't get
01:53too many details but apparently they
01:55started off with about two hundred
01:56thousand dollars and ended with over a
01:59million now that's pretty impressive
02:00over eight hundred thousand dollar gain
02:02there the only thing that's not
02:03impressive about it is it wasn't like a
02:05all in at once yolo moment kind of did
02:08it gradually over a year so for that
02:10reason i'll go ahead and put them into b
02:12tier next one on the list is mcdonald's
02:15is my vice now this is another options
02:18trading story of course it was an option
02:20story where he started off with 350 000
02:23and he planned on buying a house with
02:25that money he went from 350 000 all the
02:28way up to 650 000 and did he sell at
02:31that point did he realize how
02:33unbelievably lucky he was of course not
02:36he continued to gamble i mean trade
02:38options and of course ended up going
02:41down to a hundred and seventy five
02:42thousand so lost almost four hundred
02:44thousand from the peak and overall lost
02:47about a hundred and seventy five
02:48thousand dollars and the best thing
02:50about it is he didn't even tell his wife
02:52about what he was doing with the money
02:53ouch i guess mcdonald's wasn't his only
02:56vice no all joking aside this one is
02:58kind of sad this guy obviously has some
03:00kind of gambling addiction and i really
03:02hope he gets help but this one was a
03:04really up and down story so for that
03:06reason i'm gonna have to give it a tier
03:08next one is going to be c strife double
03:11o seven and he lost over four hundred
03:12thousand dollars a month and it was so
03:14bad that he actually got a letter from
03:16fidelity like imagine a lion is just
03:18eating your leg and then they look up at
03:20you and they're like you okay bro that's
03:22basically what this is when the company
03:24that's profiting from your losses sends
03:26you a letter asking you if you're okay
03:28that's when you know you have a problem
03:30this is when you know you need to get
03:31some investment help or really just some
03:33help in general all right this guy is an
03:35absolute legend though getting a letter
03:36like that from fidelity um he handled it
03:39really well obviously uh hope he has
03:42plenty of money and he's not running out
03:43of it but yeah i'm gonna put this one
03:45into s tier next one on the list is
03:47going to be options 13 and uh you can
03:50probably guess how this guy lost money
03:52options yes he lost 400 000
03:56in a year trading options on robinhood
03:59but being on wall street bets is like
04:01having your own private support group or
04:03cheerleading squad and they're always
04:05going to help you see the silver lining
04:06in anything and make you feel better
04:08about being a complete degenerate like
04:10this comment that said it took him six
04:12months to lose that last two thousand
04:14dollars so this one was a pretty big
04:16loss but it did also happen over a long
04:18period of time so for that reason i'm
04:20gonna put it into d tier next one on the
04:22list is going to be an absolute legend
04:24this is one that probably everybody
04:26knows about and that is deep
04:28value now i made a whole video on the
04:31gamestop incident where this guy
04:32basically went from 45 000
04:35to 45 million dollars this was basically
04:38a 1000 x gain now he ended up not making
04:41that much because he pulled out later on
04:43but he still made more money than he can
04:45probably ever spend and he just comes
04:47off as a pretty level-headed and likable
04:49guy in general hey what's up everybody
04:51cheers happy friday happy holidays i
04:54hope everyone's having a great week
04:57now i made a whole video on it but
04:59basically what happened is a bunch of
05:01rich douchebag hedge fund managers for
05:03no real good reason shorted gamestop and
05:06they all basically teamed up on gamestop
05:08and shorted it even though the only
05:10reason they were having lots of problems
05:11is because of the fact that they relied
05:13on foot traffic and of course the
05:14pandemic was happening so there was no
05:16foot traffic now if you're like me or
05:18many other people who grew up playing
05:20video games gamestop has always been an
05:23awesome place that we go to in order to
05:24look at different video games and
05:26sometimes play the consoles so this
05:28really struck a nerve with a lot of
05:29people around the internet and one of
05:31them was deep value so he
05:33decided to go all in on gamestop stock
05:35he explained why he was doing it and a
05:37bunch of other people also decided to do
05:39the same and wall street bets basically
05:41went to war with the greedy hedge fund
05:43managers and the hedge funds lost big
05:45time they ended up losing billions of
05:47dollars and to this day people like
05:49myself still hold gamestop stock and i
05:52sleep really well every night knowing
05:54that i'm still squeezing a little bit of
05:56extra money out of some hedge fund
05:57managers this one clearly goes into s
06:00tier in fact he's really just in a tier
06:02of his own next one on the list is going
06:04to be rollo one now when it comes to
06:07degeneracy this one is just off the
06:10charts this one is an 11 out of 10. this
06:12guy also went in on gamestop stock he
06:15invested 35 000 and that turned into
06:19five million and for some reason he
06:21decided not to sell and this begs the
06:24question is there a number that is
06:26possible that that stock could have
06:28gotten to that would have caused him to
06:30sell is it ten million dollars is it a
06:33hundred million is it a billion is it a
06:35trillion dollars he even could have sold
06:37off ten percent of what he earned and
06:39walked away with over five hundred and
06:41thirty thousand dollars but no he
06:43decided to hold on and it went down to
06:46three hundred 000. now again i don't
06:48know too much about the details here but
06:49from the research i did do he still
06:52walked away with 10x gains so that's not
06:55bad but he could have walked away with
06:56enough money to retire himself his
06:58parents and send his kids and his
07:00grandkids to college easily okay hodling
07:03is not always the answer sometimes you
07:04want to take profits so this guy is just
07:07oh he's such a degenerate i'm going to
07:09put him into f tier next one on the list
07:11is going to be admiral surround 11. now
07:14i take it back i said that other guy was
07:17an 11 out of 10 degenerate this is even
07:20worse so this guy put 90 000 in out of
07:23the money call options that expired in
07:25less than two days now i know most of
07:28people watching this are not going to
07:29understand what that means at all but
07:31let me just say that the level of
07:32stupidity that it takes to do something
07:34like this is almost unfathomable and all
07:37you have to really do is read the
07:38comments to see what i mean i think some
07:40of my favorite ones are it warms my
07:42heart to see people light 90 000 on fire
07:46while i'm just trying to afford dental
07:48care another one of my favorite comments
07:49said the sec will use this image to say
07:52they need to protect retail investors
07:54from themselves so this guy lost about
07:56sixty thousand dollars pretty much
07:58instantly doing this now this wasn't one
08:00of the biggest losses on the list
08:02however it's sixty thousand dollars in
08:04about two days you know i'm not sure
08:06whether to give this one s-tier or
08:08f-tier i mean it's just absolutely
08:10horrible i'm gonna go ahead and put it
08:12into f tier next one on the list is
08:14another one that everyone is probably
08:16going to recognize and that is control
08:18the narrative so this guy figured out
08:20how to exploit a robin hood glitch that
08:22turned his two thousand dollars into
08:25fifty thousand dollars in borrowed money
08:27and then he bet against one of the most
08:29consistently successful companies in the
08:31world which is apple for basically no
08:34reason and immediately lost all 50 000
08:37and recorded it live and his live
08:39reaction to losing all of his money
08:41created a meme that will never die
08:44now this guy is an absolute legend he's
08:46a meme so you got to put some respect on
08:48his name i tried to look up what
08:50happened to him and apparently he
08:51basically gave up gambling i mean
08:53trading and he posted this as a farewell
08:55basically saying that he learned his
08:57lesson now that was a very expensive
08:59lesson to learn and not only did he lose
09:01his own money but he actually went deep
09:03into debt this one has got to go into
09:06ester right next one is gonna be drakeem
09:09514 another options trading story where
09:12an 18 year old went from almost nothing
09:14to a hundred thousand dollars but did
09:16they sell did they realize that they
09:17were incredibly lucky investing in amc
09:20stock at just the right time absolutely
09:22not a better name for him would have
09:23been mr what's an exit strategy because
09:25he was up big and he ended up losing all
09:28of the money and more so pretty
09:30impressive that an 18 year old was able
09:31to do that hopefully he learned his
09:33lesson i'm gonna go ahead and put the
09:35kid into b-tier now the next one is a
09:38little controversial because a lot of
09:40people think this person faked their
09:41gains and that is wall street bets god
09:44so he basically went all in on tesla
09:47with call options that expired the next
09:49year at just the right time then when he
09:51saw it skyrocket instead of pulling his
09:53money out of course he doubled down on
09:55the call options and he ended up with a
09:57portfolio of about 4.5 million dollars
10:00from 45 000. but did he quit here and
10:02right off into the sun
10:04absolutely not he decided to pull what
10:06he called the big short after this and
10:08later posted that after his big short he
10:11was worth over 16 million dollars now
10:13the problem here is he didn't really
10:15provide any proof whatsoever that this
10:17was his money he very easily could have
10:19just photoshopped it or went into the
10:20source code and changed the numbers
10:22around and when confronted about this it
10:24would have been very easy for him to
10:25prove that it was real but he ignored it
10:27and decided to not do it so this one i'm
10:29gonna have to put in to see tier
10:30although if it was real this would be an
10:32s tier candidate for sure next one on
10:34the list is going to be anal farmer 2.
10:37now anal farmer 2 was a 19 year old that
10:39claimed he made about a hundred thousand
10:41dollars doing online business and he
10:43basically pulled the same move we talked
10:44about before where he essentially put
10:46gasoline on a pile of money and then lit
10:48it on fire the only thing is his
10:50moonshot bet actually paid off his
10:53robinhood account shot up to
10:55343 thousand dollars now incredibly here
10:58instead of realizing his luck and
11:00walking away with his winnings he
11:01decided to make an equally risky play he
11:06into spy puts that were expiring the
11:08next day and he earned 277 000 in one
11:11minute and his account went up to
11:13646 000. that's enough money to buy a
11:16house or maybe even two outright in cash
11:19so did he pull his money out absolutely
11:21not he tried to put gasoline all over
11:23his money again and burn it and this
11:25time it actually worked he lost almost
11:27everything and went down to about forty
11:29thousand dollars so at the end of the
11:30day he ended up losing sixty thousand
11:33and at this point you would think it's
11:34the end of the story he learned his
11:36lesson he lost a ton of his hard-earned
11:37money nope he decided to yolo the last
11:40forty thousand dollars too and then
11:42ended up losing everything so this one
11:44is just such an amazing story there's so
11:45many ups and downs to it how can you not
11:47give this one s here next one on the
11:49list is going to be irony man now this
11:52is a man who thought he found a loophole
11:54in the robinhood system and he basically
11:57used box spreads he started with an
11:59initial investment of five thousand
12:00dollars and he used box spreads where if
12:03it would have turned out right for him
12:04he could have made up to thirty seven
12:06thousand but the downside of doing this
12:08is if it didn't turn out right he could
12:09lose up to five hundred thousand dollars
12:12that's right he could go five hundred
12:14thousand dollars in debt now of course
12:16it didn't work out for him but the
12:18broker pulled the plug on everything
12:20early and he only ended up going 57 000
12:22in debt now when he presented this
12:24absolutely degenerate idea on wall
12:26street bets people were trying to
12:27convince him to not do it and here were
12:29his famous last words before he executed
12:32it that's not how it works i have no
12:34money at risk then he proceeded to lose
12:36almost two thousand percent and did he
12:38learn his lesson nope he never quits and
12:40he still trades daily when it comes to
12:42the percentage that he ended up losing
12:44compared to what he initially invested
12:46this one takes the cake and for that
12:48reason it's got to go into ester check
