Some of us had puts from last month which were well in profit. I personally have lost over $5k from this outage even though I'm technically not negative on my position. Painting all RH users as gamblers is pretty arrogant.

I am pretty sure he was talking about the community of r/wallstreetbets, not RH users.

Buying short-dated options to bet on which direction the market is going to move is 100% gambling.
