#2There’s moments like this that I wish I was savvy enough to short some Apple stocks before the verdict. I suppose you could even use the windfall to buy more shares before the stock price recovered too!

There’s no shortage of future opportunities to make money by being savvy, if you’re willing to buy in and get your feet wet. Keep your eyes open.

My general take is that it's not worth it. Professional traders will beat you to it, and you're looking at maybe a 1% drop.
* If it goes up, you lose money.
* If it goes down, and you have $100k invested, you make $1k.
$1k is 3 hours consulting time for a SWE. It seems easier to find consulting gigs and consult for 3 hours than to play the market.
Unless I have specialized knowledge on a particular industry beyond what pros do, I'm index funds, all the way. Those annual gains are helpful. Micromanagement pays less than a typical salary, or investing in up-skilling.

There are plenty of ways for your gains to be X multiple of the % change in the underlying stock

So did I! and I'm so happy it wasn't.

You often do have specialized knowledge. Possible past examples:
1. Buying puts before the coming stock market crash back in January 2020.
2. Buying calls in WDC and STX after reading on HN about Chia Coin and hard drive prices, in early May, if you weren’t already aware in April. It was not a sure thing because prices move for other reasons, but a very very positive EV, and a great diversification of a crypto position.

#10This one is confusing. Walled Gardens have certain negative traits. At the same time, it’s difficult to say Apple doesn’t have the right to run their ecosystem they way they have currently designed it.
