I saw a lot of those "pour their life-savings" into it postings. A lot of "yacht or food stamps" type sentiments being shared.

On the flip side, if you watch the comments go by in the megathread, quite a few people are just buying 1 stock (often times just a fraction of a stock).

The fact that there are many people who are only gambling a small amount doesn't mean there aren't great amounts of people who are putting themselves in financial peril. It just means you have to look harder for them.
