Is everything in the new economy just a giant get-rich-quick scam?
Sports cards. Prediction markets. Sports betting. NFTs. Prop firms. Trading.
Everywhere you look, somebody is selling the dream that you can turn $1,000 into $10,000 ASAP. Nobody seems to care about the odds anymore — they just want the swipe, the dice roll and the shot at fast money.
Can it work? Sure. I’ve met a handful of people who turned tens of thousands into six figures. But that’s rare. Very rare. The small dog is climbing uphill while fire, ice, snow and frostbite hit all at once. Meanwhile, the people already at the top of the mountain are loving it.
In today’s video, I break down:
🃏 Why sports cards have become pure gambling
🎰 How betting has invaded everyday life
🚨 The scams I’m calling out — from NFTs to offshore prop firms
🏔️ Why regular Americans feel left behind
Watch it, then tell me… scam economy or the new norm?
Order Flow:
This is for informational and educational purposes only. These are not official alerts issued by Lance, but rather some interesting orders picked by the team at Lance Ippolito Trading.
When you look at these plays, always take the market maker move into consideration.
You can be right on the direction but still lose money if the stock doesn’t move enough. That’s where the market maker move comes in clutch.
With puts, they’re often downside hedges in case a stock tanks, especially around earnings. The further out of the money they are, the more likely they are to be hedges.
Also be sure and check when the company’s earnings date is because many of the plays we post here are centered around earnings!
If a stock is really expensive, consider a spread to lower the cost.
And finally, always remember the golden rule when it comes to buying calls: Buy dips, sell rips — and don’t chase!
If a stock’s moved a ton already today, maybe wait for a pullback.
There is inherent risk in trading. Trade at your own risk.
Note: If no date is listed after the month, it’s the monthly expiration (third Friday).

P.S. Graham Just Release a Critical Market Update
If you’ve been watching the tape this month, you know volatility is creeping back in…
With institutional volume shifting, the window for high-octane opportunities inside open.
No wonder his Newton Software has been going haywire — and now it’s triggered three new alerts.
The last time Newton flashed a triple-alert cluster like this?
Now, we’re not saying today’s alerts will perform exactly the same. Markets don’t work that way, and we can’t make guarantees.
But the setup is eerily similar.
He’s laid out the full breakdown, including tickers, entry zones and the specific options contracts he’s looking at…
You can access that briefing completely free right here.
The market doesn’t wait…
We develop tools and strategies to the best of our ability, but no one can guarantee the future. There is always a risk of loss when trading past performance is not indicative of future results. The trades expressed today are based on signals from Graham’s Software with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight unless otherwise stated and must be considered hypothetical. There’s bound to be winners and loser along the way. Since this new dashboard is a tool for traders and not a trading service, profits and performance will vary among users. Never risk more than you can afford to lose.
