Individual stocks just got a whole lot more exciting. Zero-day-to-expiration options rolling out across the board means retail traders can now tap into ultra-short-term strategies on basically any equity they want. It's genuinely game-changing for active traders seeking high-volatility plays. The barrier to sophisticated trading just dropped significantly. Retail and professionals merging on the same level—that's the move.

Zero-date options are really amazing; retail investors can finally play on the same starting line as institutional investors.

Zero-day options are really here. Retail investors can finally play high-leverage games. It's exciting, but after this wave, most of the losses still fall on the little guys.

Zero-date options are a double-edged sword. Can retail investors really compete with institutions?

Zero-date options are now available, retail investors can really start playing... but the risks need to be considered as well.

here's the thing about zero-day options tho—democratization sounds cool until everyone's blowing up their account on the same trade lmao

ngl the math on this doesn't really add up tho... zero dte options sound exciting until you realize the bid-ask spreads are gonna absolutely eviscerate retail. seen this exact "democratization" narrative before, ends the same way every time
