Dad Trade
A stupid gamble or a bunch of stupid gambles that only make sense if some dumb event happens. The event happens, but he still loses everything. It's like when your dad talks about investing like he's a wizard, but he's just a fool.
Dad bet all his money on a football game. The team won. He still lost everything.
He said if the market went up, he'd take us to Disney. It went up. We got stuck in a hotel with no food.
He promised me a PS5 if he made money on his trades. He made money. He gave me a broken phone.
