Over the past 10 years, both $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ and $CME Bitcoin - main 2507(BTCmain)$ have delivered returns of up to 30,000%.

In our community, we've also seen many users post over 100% gains from holding the underlying stock—some even outperforming options.

For example, after TSM’s earnings surge yesterday, one user shared a 222% gain from holding the stock; another posted a 113% return on Nvidia shares! If they had bought before the stock split, the gains would be even higher. Do you have an even greater return?

And let’s not forget the recent boom in crypto-related stocks— $SharpLink Gaming(SBET)$ delivered a shocking 269% return on the stock alone, beating its own options!

With gains this high, do you still believe in the leverage of options?

Or do you believe in the magic of time?

Have you made such impressive returns from holding stock?

    I prefer holding stocks over options due to my lower risk tolerance. While options offer high returns, the risk of total loss doesn’t align with my investing style. I’m more comfortable with steady growth over time, even if it means lower returns.

    That said, I believe in the power of time. Some stocks can deliver explosive returns if you hold them long enough. My best performer so far is $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ . I’ve been averaging up using DCA & its growth in AI and government contracts has really paid off.

    I’ve seen others make huge gains with options, and that’s great for them—but I stick with what suits me. Long-term stock investing gives me peace of mind and solid results. I’m excited to see where PLTR goes in the next few years. Sometimes, patience really is the best form of leverage. I’d rather ride with a strong company through its journey than try to time short-term moves. Slow and steady still wins the race for me.

    I think they are different tools to be leveraged on by different investors, as long as they fully understand how they work and the risks involved. I wouldn’t say stocks are superior than options even with these gains as these are not the norm. For most investors, options offer greater returns at lesser risks than stocks and I am still trying to find time to properly learn how to leverage on options.


    Time is often important for any investment tool. We need time for growth and we need time for the 8th wonder of the world- compounding. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be this wise saying of time in the market is more important than timing the market. Timing the market is something that even experts can get it wrong.


    I haven’t made such impressive returns in percentage from stocks. However, on top of percentage to evaluate if our investment can even beat inflation, I think the absolute return is also important. If a 100% return only yield $1000, I rather even a 10% return with $2000.

    I believe in Luck .. When your have no luck, whatever you buy will go straight into the drain. When you are in super good luck, a rubbish stock may suddenly be pushed all the way to the moon....
    There are such stocks out in the market....

    With options, it’s possible to make substantial returns everyday on trading 0dte options
    Of course it really depends on your risk appetite.Holding stocks is definitely much lower risk than options

    If there’s strong conviction on the underlying stock, we can amplify profits by having both the stock (for longer term holding) and the options (for shorter term trading). For stocks I would take a DCA approach and for options I may use a butterfly call to hedge risks.
