Popular trading app Robinhood reported 3 million new accounts in the first quarter alone. Robinhood users reportedly have an average age of 31, and the company has said half of its users have never invested before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the most popular stocks on the Robinhood app are names like&nbsp;<strong>American Airlines Group Inc<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/benzinga.com\/stock\/aal#NASDAQ\">AAL<\/a>,&nbsp;<strong>Tesla Inc<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/benzinga.com\/stock\/tsla#NASDAQ\">TSLA<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Carnival Corp<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/benzinga.com\/stock\/ccl#NYSE\">CCL<\/a>, extremely volatile and high-risk stocks that each have less than 30% &#8220;Buy&#8221; ratings among Wall Street analysts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But some young traders appear to be taking the risk to the next level by venturing into the complicated world of leveraged option trading. Twenty-year-old Alex Kearns&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/everyones-a-day-trader-now-11595649609\">made headlines<\/a>&nbsp;when he took his own life after racking up what he believed to be $750,000 in losses in his Robinhood account from option trading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his suicide note, Kearns told his family he had \u201cno clue what I was doing now in hindsight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Option Market Gamblers:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As of late June, a record 28 million option contracts have been traded daily in 2020,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/free-trades-jackpot-dreams-lure-small-investors-to-options-11592991000\">up 45% from a year ago<\/a>, according to Options Clearing Corp. Among the 50 most-traded stocks, Goldman Sachs research found the percentage of option contract trades that represent extremely small orders of only a single contract has risen from 10% last year to 14% in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For market gamblers, the appeal of option contracts is obvious. Option buyers can essentially bet on 100 shares of stock for a small fraction of the cost of those underlying shares. A relatively small move in the underlying stock can produce huge swings in the value of its option contracts due to this leverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Combine this massive potential option leverage with the fact that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/vantagepointtrading.com\/whats-the-day-trading-success-rate-the-thorough-answer\/\">studies have consistently shown<\/a>&nbsp;upwards of 90% of new day traders lose money in the market, and it\u2019s understandable why Wall Street veterans are getting nervous about the spike in options trading activity this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Benzinga\u2019s Take:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>New investors should understand the difference between investing to make money in the long-term and day trading stocks and options contracts to gamble. Studies have repeatedly shown that long-term, diversified investing for time horizons of 10 years or longer is almost always a profitable endeavor, whereas day trading is a losing strategy for at least 90% of new traders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally Posted on July 28, 2020 &#8211; <a
