Buy Call or Buy Lottery: Your Choice is?

Singaporeans are the world’s number one when it comes to love for the lottery! In the 2019 World Lottery Yearbook, it was reported that Singapore spends $5.41 billion (about SGD 7.1 billion) annually on lottery tickets. This amounts to $935 per person (about SGD 1,240), far exceeding the $798 per person in Massachusetts, USA, which ranks second globally. Some tigers say that buying lottery tickets is less certain than purchasing call options. Some investors spend a small amount each week buying ODTE options, betting that this company will suddenly experience a surge in stock price.

Interesting perspective! Betting on meme stocks or emerging tech feels like walking a fine line between calculated risk and outright gambling. The allure of “the next Bitcoin” is strong, but history shows that only a handful succeed, while many lose money chasing hype. Personally, I prefer balancing my portfolio—reserving a small “high-risk, high-reward” allocation while sticking to steady investments for long-term growth. It’s all about knowing your risk appetite and financial goals. What about you? Do you dabble in such high-stakes opportunities?

I am currently vested in $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ and waiting patiently for a big rally [Cool] one may call my investment a gamble, but at least it is one that I made with logic. Better than leaving it all to luck and probability like buying lottery I guess [Cool]
