You don't buy stocks — you buy lottery tickets. 0DTE options, meme coins, whatever someone's pumping — if there's a shot at getting rich quick, you're all in. You hit a 10x once and never recovered from it, even though you've given it back three times since. Your investing philosophy is "YOLO"; your risk management is "praying." Your most-used phrase: "Either we go to the moon or we go on the WSB loss-porn wall."

The biases pulling your strings

Overconfidence

You bet big believing the odds are on your side when they rarely are.

Probability Neglect

You see only the 10x upside and tune out the 90% chance it goes to zero.

One way to fight it: Gambling's fine — just give your "gambling money" its own account, capped at an amount you could lose entirely and still laugh. Invest the rest seriously.
