Derivatives trading – Why do people do it?

Derivatives trading, I’m sure people are deriving something from it 😁 but definitely Not Profits

SEBI data 👇🏼

Retail investor participation in equity derivatives trading increased by 500% in the last 3 years

9 in 10 individual derivative traders are in their 30 s & they lost money in the previous fiscal year with the losses averaging ₹ 110,000 /-

Reasons I think –

WFH (work from home)

Useless Apps access on mobiles

Too much idle time

Greed to make a quick buck Addiction to adrenalin & dopamine push in their thoughtless brains

The best of all – having no learning on personal money management

Derivative trades for retail / hni investors mostly end in deriving losses 🤷🏼‍♂
