Recent reports highlight a troubling trend in the United States where individuals are becoming increasingly addicted to high-risk trading in the stock market and digital assets. The Wall Street Journal notes that a new type of addict is emerging at Gamblers Anonymous meetings, with investors drawn to the volatile nature of 0 DTE (days to expiration) options trading. This addiction is being likened to substance abuse, with some individuals reportedly facing severe personal consequences, including divorce and financial ruin. As the economy faces challenges, the reliance on risky financial behaviors raises concerns about the broader implications for both individuals and the financial markets.
