WHY YOUNG PEOPLE ARE BETTING ON EVERYTHING
In today’s Wall Street Journal, I wrote about how an economy with fewer stable paths is pushing young people toward low probability, high payoff bets in search of upside - even though this is not what people actually want.
Moontower Survey Results w/ some commentary...
Been a few years since I did a reader survey to learn about YOU
Thanks to all those who responded!
One question that is always fun because it highlights framing is "how does reading MT make you feel?"

(sigh) I've managed to go a long time without writing about 0DTEs directly. But I got lured in by a trade a mutual shared last month.
If you insist on trading 0DTE hopefully this helps

1. The short answer is – revolutions don’t work the way you think. Revolutions aren’t initiated by the poor against the rich. They are crusades launched by the top 2% against the top 1%. -- Manu Joseph
2. MGTN implied correlation?

It's all very relevant for both option traders and anyone who uses volatility in their risk or sizing measures.
Covers some extra curiosities as well that I hope you find delightful or at least satisfying.

Today's Moontower was a post I really enjoyed writing.
It started with surprise in the way my "napkin" estimate was wrong and forced me to learn some math that i never stared at directly at before despite noticing its consequences.

So we can get grimy about the ‘what’ and the ‘how’ of what the trading job was like.
I’ll cover a day at the office, what kinds of tools would be used for various job functions, and even some recent thoughts about discretionary trading in particular.
If you’re not technical by the standards of 2025, then github, VSCode, the install/import of packages or frameworks, and the friggin’ command line might as well be a lady’s hoo-ha to an incel. No instruction is too obvious.
